Roller Coaster By Faythy Fillmore This is how Newton's 3 laws affect my roller coaster design and how my rollercoaster became successful. My roller coaster contains a medium hill with one loop near the hill and one at the end of the coaster. The gravity is low the mass is in the middle the friction is very low and the speed is 46.13 seconds. Newtons 1 law: Newton’s 1st Law the law of inertia. An object will remain at rest or in uniform motion in a straight line unless acted upon by an

A collision occurs when two objects collide together creating an external force that is either zero or smaller. The goals of this lab were to find out what happens to the linear momentum and kinetic energy of different objects when they collide. Also, what happens to the momentum and kinetic energy in a completely inelastic collision and perfectly elastic collision? For completely inelastic collision the linear momentum should be conserved, but the kinetic energy should not be conserved. On the other

In the 4-3 Lab, my group and I tossed a ball over a motion detector and recorded the measurements at five different points of the ball’s travel. Point A was at the beginning of its travel, right after it was thrown. Point B was about halfway up after the throw. Point C was at the highest point of the ball’s toss. Point D was at about the same height as point B, but was on the way down from Point C. Point E was right before I caught the ball at about the same height as point A, but on the way down

Roller coaster works by the change of potential energy to kinetic energy. This is what drives the roller coaster. All of the kinetic energy you need for the roller coaster ride is there once the coaster goes down the first hill. The size of the first hill determines the speed of the rest of the ride. This works as almost a gravitational pull. Almost all roller coasters are moved by gravity and momentum of the ride going up and down the hills. Once you're going, different types of wheels help keep

My topic is about which object will fall the fastest if I throw it from the same height. The dropping also depends on the mass. Mass is the amount of matter an object has. Now, matter is anything that takes up space and has mass. Basically everything around you is matter and has mass. Just how do we measure mass? Well actually, there are a couple ways to measure mass. People usually use a balance to measure mass since it appears to be the most common way. Some objects have a greater amount of mass

For this week's forum I selected the Ball velocity tracking radar. The first brand or manufacturer that came to my attention was TrackMan. The biomechanics labs at Chester University are used by students conducting research projects and providing scientific support, in addition with staff who provide scientific support to athletes. They can use biomechanical equipment like simple 2D video capture and 3D motion capture. Then I looked up the most recent equipment and along came TrackMan. (University

Dyshane Powell-Hodges Isaac Newton's contribution to Science Isaac Newton was an English physicist and a mathematician. Isaac Newton was arguably one of the smartest, most influential scientists of all time and had created an all new era in scientific revolution. Newton mainly studied the laws of gravity and motion however he had also worked with light and optics. Newton had felt that physical laws would outweigh chemical and biological laws therefore developing an interest with gravity and motion

(1920) fascinating, but one thing that stood out in my mind was the transfer of the fear response to an alternate stimulus. As we learned in our text, we know that a transfer can occur between similar stimulus and this is known as generalization in classical conditioning (Mazur, 2013). Within our text, Mazur (2013) describes an eyeblink experiment where rabbits were given a shock (US) near their eye and this was repeatedly paired with a tone (CS) which was played at 1,200-Hz. Later, in order to test

The best ancient Greek city-state to live in would’ve been Sparta for many reasons. The first reason is that everyone in Sparta had rights. For example, women in Sparta had more rights than most Greek women, such as being able to own property. Even slaves had many rights of their own. According to the Athens vs Sparta History Alive Reading, “Spartan women had many rights Greek women did not have. . . They could own and control their own property.” Also stated in the Athens vs Sparta History Alive

I guess Sparta is starting another battle again we have to go respond Athenians. The Peloponnesian battles were mainly fought by Sparta and Athens or at least those two were the main focus, but the two armies had some allies. The Great Athenians named themselves the Delian league and the Spartans were named the Peloponnesian league. The first fought battle between the two main armies was in 460-446 BCE. The second battle between the two was in 431-404 BCE. The battles weren’t fought in a specific
