    The factors include calculating the velocity of the golf ball after the club and ball collide, the mass of the club head, launch angle, the shape of the club face, and finding the optimal golf ball. Intuition tells us that the larger the velocity of the club head at impact with the golf ball, the larger the velocity of the golf ball after the impact. To calculate the velocity of the golf ball we need to consider the relationship between the velocity of

    that’s used is, a = v–u/t, a meaning acceleration, v being average velocity, u as initial velocity and where t is equal to time. So lets assume that the initial velocity of the airplane is zero and its average velocity is at 6.7 x 101 m s-1 and the airplane has been traveling at this velocity for 10 seconds, so a = (6.7 x 101 – 0)/10 = 6.7 m s—2. This would then require a runway of 6.7 x 102 metres in length and obviously for the velocity to become greater a longer runway and greater acceleration would

    Lab 1, problem 3: Motion Down an Incline Shaoren Yuan October 5, 2013 Physics 1301W, professor: Dr. Zudov, TA: David Abstract The processes of a cart rolling up and returning back along a track were recorded, and the processes (motion of the cart.) were described as equations. Also, we calculated the accelerations of every stage (aup, adown and ahighest). Then the relationship among aup, adown and ahighest was concluded. Finally, the acceleration was measured and was proved from data. Introduction

    the Great Marmara Fault and 40 more located at important structures (Mert et al 2004). The early warning system of the (IERREWS) is based on exceeding of predetermined thresholds values for the peak ground acceleration (PGA) and Cumulative Absolute Velocity (CAV) it has three alarm levels. If the value of CAV exceeds the threshold value it is considered a vote and within a specified time interval if the threshold value is exceeded in 2 or 3 stations the first alarm is declared. The original CAV has

    The velocity-versus-time graph for a certain falling object is shown. Is the acceleration of this object constant? a) b) c) Yes. No. Impossible to tell from this graph. Constant acceleration would require the v vs. t curve to be a straight line. This graph is curving upward, so the slope (and the acceleration) is increasing. Throwing a ball downward " Let the ball be thrown downward instead of being dropped. It will have a starting velocity different from

    Civil engineers formed the physical concept of runaway ramps on a declining road surface in order to enhance the safety for passengers in the rare situation a brake failure occurs; this can be associated to the investigation into braking distance in relation to the coefficient of friction. Physics particularly focuses on a subject otherwise known as motion; this has many practical applications in modern society. One of which is in relation to vehicles and the elements of physics that reason the stopping

    in overall energy of the objects, as some of it may be lost to friction. Some of the energy is lost due to the deformation of objects caused by the collision. Hence during the time interval of the collision the velocities of these objects tend to change. By using the ratio of the velocities before and after the collision their elasticity can be calculated. This measure of elasticity is known as the coefficient of restitution. This coefficient is dependent on the material of the objects. This lab

    accelerated then hold and decelerated for certain time depending upon the requirement of cycle. Graph 2-A shows the change in velocity upon change in acceleration for three different cycle times. Also the shift of gears during the period can be observed. Graph 2-B illustrates consumption of the fuel during the three different stages. It can be noted that when the velocity was about 50 km/h the fuel consumption was about 5.0 l/h. Also it significantly notifies that during idling the fuel consumption
