    Projectile 2 Lab Report Kelsy Ecclesiastre and Sara Lopez AP Physics 1 Period 6 Objective/Purpose: To correctly identify the range of a projectile when fired above the horizontal axis with only a meter stick (i.e. no timer). Background: According to Henderson, speed is how far an object travels during a specific amount of time and does not include the direction. Velocity can be explained as the speed of an object, but also including the direction the object is heading towards (Henderson, 2015). Giancoli

    First off the Moon is known to be tremendously huge in the human eye, yet it is only a quarter (3470 km) sized of the Earth. The Moon is the fifth largest moon and is the closest astronomical object to the Earth itself (PSCI 1054, Class Lecture, Motion). The Earth is recognized to have life on it and has many physical and chemical differences than the moon does. It is a known fact that the Earth orbits the sun and the Moon orbits the Earth. Chemical and physical changes can get confusing. For example

    As the ball is being pulled down by the pull of gravity of the earth the potential energy is now converted into kinetic energy. It is not really converted because even though at its peak it had potential energy it was still in motion meaning it still had kinetic energy. The ball is now falling. When the ball has no more vertical momentum it is pulled down to the ground by gravity. When the ball hits the ground some of the kinetic energy is converted into sound energy then back

    the photon is gained by the electron, this electron is ejected from the electron shell. CT can be described as an x-ray tube and detectors, located in the gantry, parallel to each other, able to rotate 360° in a continuous motion, illustrated in Appendix 1.4. The continuous motion allows for the collection of an ongoing stream of information. The development of slip rings eliminated the use of cables, allowing the continuous rotation, increasing scan time (Kalender, 2011) The patient table moves the

    Of all of the early scientists of the scientific revolution I am most impressed by Sir Isaac Newton. Newton is important because he contributed more to the development of science than any other person in history. Isaac Newton is remembered as the greatest scientific genius who ever lived. His discoveries about physics, light, and mathematics changed the world. I am even more impressed by what he overcame to reach his goals. He came to surpass even his own expectations

    My subject and person that I chose to perform this movement is Carolyn Gardner, 12-year-old beginner basketball player in the sixth grade. She is on the junior varsity team and this is her first time playing basketball on a team. This is her first time playing any team sport. Right now she is learning the basics and having a hard time focusing but that is expected being her first year. The reason I chose Carolyn is because since this is her first time playing basketball on a team and her first sport

    Zachary Floyd Christopher Wilson Experiment 6 Blackwood Ballistic Pendulum Jamal Wright, Zachary Floyd, Christopher Wilson Abstract Our goal of this experiment is to determine muzzle velocity by two methods: 1) employing uniform linear motion relations, the kinematic equations; 2) using the principles of conservation of energy and momentum. In this paper, we aim to validate the law of conservation of momentum. We do so by comparing results from two experiments conducted with a single ballistic

    allowed to develop by applying scientific theory: A plane can leave the ground and fly because engineers know how to exploit Bernoulli’s Principles of Fluid Dynamics to create upward thrust and we can describe the motion of non-relativistic (much slower than the speed of light) projectiles using Newton’s laws of classical mechanics (Eastlake, 2002). Similarly, psychoanalysis can be used to explain phenomena in human behavior, yet, it is widely criticized for being ’non-scientific’. The demarcation

    so: PEg = KE (1) Equation one then becomes represented by Equation 2 by substituting what each energy is equal to. mgh = .5mv2 (2) From there, the equation is solved for velocity, as in Equation 3. v = 2gh (3) To find distance, Equation 4, a projectile motion equation was used to find time first.

    The Wells Creek Impact Structure: Impact Melts produces shock metamorphism in the target rock. Michael A. Burklow Department of Geology, University of Tennessee at Martin, Martin, Tennessee 38237, USA Abstract The Wells Creek structure was formed by a meteorite impact in Cumberland, Tennessee (36°〖23〗^ ' N,87°40 'W) which is the northern part of Middle Tennessee. This region is known as the highland rim. The younger and older strata is exposed in two areas in the highland rim which means
