an object moving in a circle at a constant speed? Include all that apply. a. The object experiences a force which has a component directed parallel to the direction of motion. b. Inertia causes objects to move in a circle. c. There can be a force pushing outwards on the object as long as the net force in inwards. d. Because the speed is constant, the acceleration is zero. e. If the net force acting upon the object is suddenly reduced to zero, then the object would suddenly depart from its circular

The Physics of Volleyball Forces, acceleration, gravity, projectile motion, and many other such things make volleyball the game that it is. Volleyball is a sport that includes many aspects of Physics some of these are very basic concepts while others are more advanced. Better understanding of these concepts could improve a player’s game. Physics explains and elucidates the basic fundamentals of volleyball and why one should perform them in such a way. Displacement

real experiment: Forces of friction and gravity act on the ball so it rolls just short of the same height. In an ideal experiment: Ball rolls infinitely In a real experiment: Once again, forces of gravity and friction act on the ball to slow it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Experiment 2 Cup has 0 net force. No gravity, No friction. An object with 0 net force will keep moving

Physics. PH2530 Exercise1.1 Gus Perez 1.-The turning radius of a car is 36 ft. What will be the distance in meters? We got 1ft = 0.3048 m. So we solve it like, Distance = 36 ft. x (0.3048 m. / 1 ft.) = 10.9728 m. is the answer. 2. What is the sum of 1370 cm, 1575 mm, and 8.63 m in meters? (Hint: Refer to section 1.9 in the textbook.). We convert everything to meters. We know that 1m = 100 cm and 1cm = 10 mm. so we got, 1370 cm = 13.7 m and 1575mm = 1.575 m, so we add up the 3 values; Distance =

determine the acceleration of the weights of an Atwood’s Machine, both experimentally and theoretically. We will attempt to verify Newton’s Second law which is a mathematical statement relating force, mass, and acceleration. Newton’s Second law states that acceleration, a, is directly related to net force, F, and inversely related to mass, m. Naturally this give F=ma. Using the Atwood’s Machine experimental acceleration data (for 10 different runs with 10 different combinations of masses) will be

Benjamin Crowell THE MOTION OF FALLING OBJECTS The motion of falling objects is the simplest and most common example of motion with changing velocity. The early pioneers of physics had a correct intuition that the way things drop was a message directly from Nature herself about how the universe worked. Other examples seem less likely to have deep significance. A walking person who speeds up is making a conscious choice. If one stretch of a river flows more rapidly than

motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. Newton’s First Law of Motion is applied to liftoff because: Before firing, the rocket is in state of rest, and its airspeed is zero. When the engine is fired, the thrust increases from zero and the weight decreases slightly as the fuel burns. When the thrust is greater than the weight, the net force from thrust to weight is positively upward. The rocket then accelerates upward and the
