larger restoring force, but it also needs a larger force to achieve the same acceleration. This is in some way similar to the situation for objects in free fall, which all have the same acceleration regardless of their mass. Because the acceleration for both periods is the same, the period for both is also the same. Amplitude: The graph recorded shows how the amplitude does not affect the period of a pendulum either. When the amplitude of a pendulum increases, the restoring force also increases

Madam Curie could discover Radium - a great boon to humanity - only because they were persons of WILL prepared to lay down even their lives in the pursuit of their ideal. Great conquerors, like Napoleon, were all men of determination whose will force carried everything before it. Coming nearer home, we get the inspiring example of Hillary and Tenzing who

it. Going back to school was an easy decision. One of the main reasons I am returning is to attain my Community College of the Air Force degree. At this point in my career this degree is tied to my advancement. Without it, I can no longer be promoted. Without further promotion I will soon reach mandatory Air Force retirement age. As I look beyond my Air Force career, I realize that my future employment opportunities are also tied to my education. Without a degree, I will not be able to fulfill

Article Review 1. The paper clearly defined the research problem. The paper is designed to investigate the relationships between stress and performance among C-PM in a construction company between the project managers. The focus of the author mainly about to investigate the relationships between stress and performance among C-PMs. The purpose also clearly defined as such it provides an opportunity to investigate the impact of stress on the performance of C-PMs. 2. This

1) When is the average velocity of an object equal to the instantaneous velocity? A) always B) never C) only when the velocity is constant D) only when the velocity is increasing at a constant rate 2) A new car manufacturer advertises that their car can go "from zero to sixty in 8 s". This is a description of A) average speed. B) instantaneous speed. C) average acceleration. D) instantaneous acceleration. 3) Suppose that a car traveling to the East (+x direction) begins to slow down

Thin Cylinder Summary/ Abstract Thin-walled pressure vessel provides an important application of the analysis of plane stress. Since their walls offer litter resistance to bending, it may be assumed that the internal forces exerted on a given portion of wall are tangent to the surface of the vessel. The resulting stresses on an element of the wall will thus be contained in a plane tangent to the surface of the vessel. In this experiment, we are going to determine the circumferential stress

FASCINATION OF FIREARMS What is our fascination with firearms? Big or small, long or short, old or new, it doesn't really matter what type of firearm it is, most all human beings have a strong fascination with them, even if you don't like to use them, they're still interesting, and everyone knows what a "gun" is. But why the fascination? When you break it down it's a pretty simple idea and process as to how they work, nothing really complicated. Yet we have been making them for hundreds of years

A projectile is a body in free fall that is subject only to the forces of gravity (9.81ms‾²) and air resistance (Webster). It was Galileo who first accurately described projectile motion. He showed that it could be understood by analyzing the horizontal and vertical components separately. No one had done this prior to Galileo. People use to think that when something is shot in the air it goes in the air and some how hit something and explode, before Galileo which followed largely Aristotelian lines
