Projectile Motion Lab Report Objective: The purpose of this experiment was to find out whether an object, in our case a basketball, accelerated in both the horizontal and vertical directions, or just one direction. The main question that we based this experiment on was, "Does an object accelerate in the x position as well as the y position, or just in one axis?". We hypothesized was that there would be acceleration in both axes because of the motion of the free falling object. Method: The procedure
Cowans 1 PHYSICS OF SOCCER Tatiyana Cowans Physics Ms.Moore 11/3/2015 Cowans 2 NEWTONS LAWS OF MOTION Soccer is an International sport played all over the world. Soccer consist of two teams trying to score a soccer ball into a goal on the opposing team’s side of the field without using their arms or hands. This sport is straightforward and simple, but relates to physics in many ways. The basic movement of kicking a soccer ball requires force
Galileo’s book “The Dialogue on the Two Great World Systems” is a 1632 book written by Galileo in Italian in which he compares the Copernican system to the Ptolemaic system. In this book, Galileo baldly (some said at the time recklessly) advocated the heliocentric / Copernican world view, contrasting it to the prevailing geocentric / Ptolomeic model. In order to obtain permission to publish, Galileo made a promise to religious authorities (including his supporter Pope Urban VIII) he would present
mathematician and physicist. He has contributed so much to the world of physics like the Laws of Motion, Universal Laws of Gravity, and the Law of Cooling (or heating). This paper will explore each of the three primary areas of which Newton was instrumental in. This essay will state his beliefs on absolute time and absolute space. The first of Newton’s great contributions is the Three Laws of Motion. These laws are vital to us because they have to do with almost everything we do every day. The
Galileo Galilei describes their theory and assumption about the motion and shapes of the planets and objects based on their understandings and advocating earlier scientist’s thoughts. Nicolas Copernicus describes “Sun” as the center of the universe, which is spherical in shape and other planets(wanderers), which are also spherical revolve around the sun in a Uniform, Eternal, and Circular motion. Likewise, Galileo defines the motion of massive bodies (planets) are steady and uniform, and distance
have truly harnessed the gravitational pull of a planet by using it to launch satellites and other useful projectiles towards their desired locations. This method was developed through the use of Newton's Laws of Gravity and Kepler's Laws of Planetary Motion. When these ideas of gravity and the shape of a planet's orbit were brought together piece by piece, this new theory changed how a projectile traveling through space could simply cross an orbital pattern, which would in turn change the path of

Lunar Surface Processes Complex alterations of the lunar surface occur, despite the fact that lunar processes are much less varied and dynamic than those of the Earth. The most important source of lunar surface alteration, at least over the last three billion years, is evidenced by the Moon’s heavily pocked and cratered surface. The Moon is continuously bombarded by external objects ranging in size from small specks of dust to giant bodies tens of kilometers in diameter. These impacts are governed
because it explains the process of learning. According to Shabatura (2013), “Before you can understand a concept, you must remember it. To apply a concept you must first understand it. In order to evaluate a process, you must analyze it. To create a conclusion, you must
find the maximum height and the velocity as it leaves the launcher. Using different variables and results to determine how the different angles and amounts of force effect the variables. With this data show the effect the forces cause in 1-D and 2-D motion, as well as in the X and Y directions. This is done through kinematic equations and calculations.
