    seth siadak 12/12/2016 1. A. “With the hectic pace and demands of modern life, many people feel stressed and over-worked. It often feels like there is just not enough time in the day to get everything done. Our stress and tiredness make us unhappy, impatient and frustrated.”(How to mediate.org 2016) B. We are frequently preoccupied with our daily lives, we don’t always take time to do things for ourselves to relax, and deal with the stress in our lives. C. Have any of you felt overwhelmed with stress

    Webster defines stress as a “state of mental tension and worry caused by problems in your life, work, etc.” (1). There are a variety of factors that can cause someone to be stressed and stress can affect people in many different ways. “Nearly one-third of Americans are living with extreme stress and nearly half of Americans (48 percent) believe that their stress has increased over the past five years” (APA, 1). While a certain amount of stress is healthy and can increase productivity, it also

    When a 0.067 kg metal ball was dropped from rest, the average acceleration due to gravity (g) was 7.33 m/s2(Appendix A Table 1) and the time was recorded as well as the displacement. The kinematic equation of motion for displacement, g=2(x-vot) /t2(Appendix A, figure 1), was used to solve for acceleration. The variable g represents the acceleration of gravity in free fall, x represents the total distance traveled by the ball, t represents time, and vo represents the initial velocity of the ball.

    Introduction The purpose of this lab was to determine the relation between acceleration and net force with a constant net mass, and acceleration and net mass with a constant net force. For this lab, Newton’s Second Law was used as the basis for testing the relationship of the preceding. An equation was derived to determine the net force of the system. Equations 2-9 explain the derivation of the net force equation used in the calculations of the lab. The acceleration was determined for both graphs by

    In our experiment the question we were trying to answer was “Does a physical change, change the mass of an object”. This means that when you take a tablet or clay and you crush it or alter the shape of it and it does not weigh the same after then the weight of the object did change and that would answer your question. When a physical change occurs it is not forming a new object it is just changing the way it looks or changing a solid to a liquid such as ice melting. During our experiment we took

    to another, but the total amount of energy never changes. In this lab, roller coasters were constructed out of foam tubes to show the transformations of energy. Other variables that were identified during the lab were the speed of the coaster, the forces of motion and potential and kinetic energy. In this lab, a roller coaster was constructed using 3 - 1.83 meter foam tubes as a track (totaling in 5.49 meters), one marble (any type), masking tape, a stopwatch and a meter stick. In the roller coaster

    An experiment was set up with the goal to prove a hypothesis created, which stated that the mass of a marble would not have any effect in the acceleration of that specific marble as it moves down a ramp. During the testing of the hypothesis, the data collected demonstrated that the acceleration of three different marbles with different masses were nearly identical, which reinforced and proved the hypothesis. Acceleration is the rate at which the velocity of an object changes, and velocity is the

    1. A toy car starts travelling to the right in Figure 2 from the origin from rest. Figure 1 shows its driving force against the distance away from the origin in the first part of its journey. The surface to the right of the origin is frictionless. Assume no air resistance for this question. The mass of the toy car is 200g, the cart is 150g. a) When it is 5 meters away from the origin, it will collide with a stationary cart and sticks to it. Find the velocity of the toy car and cart after the collision

    Letting Stress Go Stress is pressure on the body that people deal with during their life time. Many things play a part in stress. A lot of stress can make your body have headaches, and cause other things to happen to your body physically. If stress is not treated it can cause problems in your family, with the people you work with and associates. Stress can be controlled by realizing what’s going on around you and getting some rest. You can choose to use your time wisely and that will lessen some

    Problem Statement: Some people were wondering what the velocity of a car launched down a ramp is and where it would land. The purpose of this is to compare the predicted values and experimental values found during the lab. Prediction: To find the velocity of the car and the distance in the x-direction it traveled; formulas must first be derived to find each unknown quantity. To find velocity, energy concept equations were used. The car starts with potential gravitational energy and ends with kinetic
