that state of motion unless an external force is applied to it. This we recognize as essentially Galileo's concept of inertia, and this is often termed simply the "Law of Inertia". Newton's Second Law of Motion: II. The relationship between an object's mass m, its acceleration a, and the applied force F is F = ma. Acceleration and force are vectors (as indicated by their symbols being displayed in slant bold font); in this law the direction of the force vector is the same as the direction of

1. How does the organization achieve “compliance” from its members? As our organisation is unionised, it is harder for managers to receive positive compliance from it’s employees as the reward power is minimized. Due to the unionization, decisions about promotions and giving raises are not allowed to be made by supervisors and managers. This restricts the amount of control the managers have over the compliance of its employees. However, I believe that my organization still exploits some power over

the I-beam are shown in Figured 1. 32 in. 1 in. 5 in. 5 in. Figure 1: Foam Beam Cut Schematic. When deciding how to cut foam board, the thought behind it was to target the areas of the beam that would experience the most applied load force. The final design consisted of five 1-inch units hot glued together at three equally spaced sections between two 32-inch long boards. The top and bottom sections 1 were supposed to keep the board from failing at its ends and splitting apart and the

approximate data will be known. 4. Which forces determine the direction and force of wind? Measuring of wind direction by means of wind vane Measuring of wind speed by means of anemometer 5. Explain the gradient force When a horizontal pressure gradient exists, a force, termed pressure gradient force, acts on the air which moves from high to low pressure at right angles to the isobars. 6. Explain the coriolis force. It relates to the rotation of the earth about its

Abstract Objective The objective of this experiment was to familiarize ourselves with constant acceleration equations, and to better understand the horizontal and vertical components of a projectile in free fall. Procedure In this experiment we used a PASCO projectile launcher, a photogate and the PASCO equipment to calculate the initial velocity of a ball that we launched off of a table. With this measurement we were able to use constant acceleration equations to calculate the range

Influencing Group Communication Your name XBCOM/230 University of Phoenix Influencing Group Communication In any organization today, one will be able to see the five basis of power at work. Some of these powers will be evident in some individuals and it may take longer to see them in other within the organization. The five basis of power that we will discuss are, coercive, reward, legitimate, expert, and referent. These five basis of power are broken down into two separate groups, one being

AP Physics – Waves Ain’t Gone, Alas - 4 Thee Hee?________________________________________________________________________Per__ School days, I believe, are the unhappiest in the whole span of human existence. They are full of dull, unintelligible tasks, new and unpleasant ordinances, brutal violations of common sense and common decency. -- H.L. Mencken 1. A 7.50 kg ball is thrown. It has an initial velocity of 8.468 m/s. It travels a horizontal distance of 7.3 m in 1.25 s. Find: (a) The weight

which are lift, weight, thrust, and drag. The direction in which the force of weight acts is constant. It always acts straight down toward the center of the earth (Four Forces on an airplane 1). Lift is the upward force produced by the effect of airflow as it passes over and under the wings. It helps maintain the airplane in flight. Weight opposes lift, it is caused by the downward pull of gravity. Thrust is the forward force which propels the airplane through the air. It varies with the amount
