...Name Date Partners HOMEWORK FOR UNIT 5-1: FORCE AND MOTION 1. You are given ten identical springs. Describe how you would develop a scale of force (ie., a means of producing repeatable forces of a variety of sizes) using these springs. Decide on an extension length of the spring for which one spring extended by this length exerts one unit of force on the object to which it is attached. Two springs both connected to the object, pulling in parallel and both extended by this length would exert two units of force and so forth up to 10 units of force for 10 springs, extended by the standard length, all connected to the object and all pulling in the same direction. 2. Describe how you would use a force probe and the springs in (1) to develop a quantitative scale of force. Connect the springs to the hook on the force probe. Use these springs to calibrate the probe. One spring stretched to the predetermined length would correspond to 1 unit during the calibration procedure, 5 springs, in parallel pulled o the standard length would be entered as 5 units. The force probe should then be calibrated quantitatively to measure any force within its range in terms of the spring units. 3. What is meant by a proportional relationship? Is this the same as a linear relationship? Explain. “proportional” means that the dependent variable is a constant multiple, either positive or negative, of the independent variable. “Linear”means that the dependent variable is a...

...Porter’s Five Force Model There are some different approaches available when measuring the profitability in a market, or industry. I choose to use the model by Michael E. Porter, where the profitability potential of an industry, described as the long run return on investment, is reliant on the degree of competition in the selected industry. The five forces that Porter mentions are; threat of entry, supplier power, buyer power, threat of substitutes and industry rivalry. Threat of entry The threat of new entrants into the market segment dominated by RIM is quite high. All the established companies in the mobile industry are possible entrants to the diversified communication services industry of RIM. Although RIM has up-to-now been able to take full advantage of its technological dominance in the market , there still remains the possibility of new companies to enter using older versions of the technology in a modernized and revamped way. A recently entrant to the market is Apple corp. with its iphone. Because of the dominance of RIM in its own lucrative segment it will always face the threat from new entrants. Supplier power The bargaining power of suppliers in the manufacturing face is considerably low in this industry, for instance, processors of the same architecture used by RIM is produced by many companies such as Intel, Freescale Semiconductor, Texas Instruments, Royal Philips Electronics, Samsung and STMicroelectronics. However, as I mentioned earlier there are...

...1-dimensional motion of objects. In Unit 2 of the Physics Classroom Tutorial, we learned how Newton's laws help to explain the motion (and specifically, the changes in the state of motion) of objects that are either at rest or moving in 1-dimension. Now in this unit we will apply both kinematic principles and Newton's laws of motion to understand and explain the motion of objects moving in two dimensions. The most common example of an object that is moving in two dimensions is a projectile. Thus, Lesson 2 of this unit is devoted to understanding the motion of projectiles. A projectile is an object upon which the only force acting is gravity. There are a variety of examples of projectiles. An object dropped from rest is a projectile (provided that the influence of air resistance is negligible). An object that is thrown vertically upward is also a projectile (provided that the influence of air resistance is negligible). And an object which is thrown upward at an angle to the horizontal is also a projectile (provided that the influence of air resistance is negligible). A projectile is any object that once projected or dropped continues in motion by its own inertia and is influenced only by the downward force of gravity. By definition, a projectile has a single force that acts upon it - the force of gravity. If there were any other force acting upon an object, then that object would not be a projectile. Thus, the free-body diagram of a projectile would show a single force acting downwards...

...KINEMATICS 1. INTRODUCTION TO KINEMATICS Dynamics is the study of moving objects. The subject is divided into kinematics and kinetics. Kinematics is the study of a body’s motion independent of the forces on the body. It is the study of the geometry of motion without consideration of the causes of motion. Kinematics deals only with relationships among the position, velocity, acceleration, and time. Kinetics deals with both forces and motion. 2. PARTICLES AND RIGID BODIES Bodies in motion can be considered particles if rotation is absent or insignificant. Particles do not possess rotational kinetic energy. All parts of a particle have the same instantaneous displacement, velocity, and acceleration. A rigid body does not deform when loaded and can be considered as a combination of two or more particles that remain at a fixed, finite distance from each other. 3. COORDINATE SYSTEMS The position of a particle is specified with reference to a coordinate system. A coordinate can represent a position along an axis, as in the rectangular coordinate system or it can represent an angle, as in the polar, cylindrical, and spherical coordinate systems. In general, the number of degrees of freedom is equal to the number of coordinates required to completely specify the state of an object. If each of the coordinates is independent of the others, the coordinates are shown as holonomic coordinates. 4. CONVENTIONS OF REPRESENTATION ...

...NEWTON’S THREE LAWS OF MOTION Newton’s Three Laws of Motion Clare Terese R. Zapata Amazing Grace School San Vicente, San Pedro, Laguna ___________________________________________________________________ A Scientific paper submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements in Science 8: Physics under Mrs. Jenny N. Liwanag, S.Y. 2013-2014 NEWTON’S THREE LAWS OF MOTION Introduction Galileo Galilee is the person who provide the experiment on how to describe motion. But Sir. Isaac Newton was the one who answered how an object moves. Newton is the one who introduce the three statements we now know as Newton’s Three Law’s of Motion. The First Law of Motion tells how “an object at rest tends to stay at rest and an object in motion stays in motion, unless acted upon by an external force”, this law is called “Law of Inertia” The second Law of motion tells about acceleration, it pertains to the behavior of an object if there is no balance or if the force in not zero, this law is called, “The Law of Acceleration”, it is stated that, “The Acceleration of an object as produced by a net force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force , in the same direction as the net force, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object”. And the Third Law of Motion is called, “The Law of...

The original OPERATION PHYSICS activity sequence to improve physics teaching and learning in upper elementary and middle schools was funded by the National Science Foundation. Original Material Copyright 1992 by American Institute of Physics Materials edited and photoduplicated with permission. FORCES & MOTION INTRODUCTION WORKSHOP LEADER’S TOPIC INFORMATION INTRODUCTION TO FORCES & MOTION An understanding of force and motion is fundamental to the study of almost all other physics-related topics. Yet it is a topic often overlooked or only cursorily introduced in elementary and middle school science, even though it is a topic typically identified for inclusion in the curriculum for these grades. A primary reason for this is that many teachers do not feel comfortable about their own understanding of the topic. Consequently, this may be the most needed of all of the OPERATION PHYSICS workshops. This workshop leader’s notebook is divided into two parts: PART ONE Motion Part One begins by introducing participants to the concepts of space and time....

...will push against the initial action in an equal amount of force. This is present in every force acted upon an object, surface or matter. As a result if an object has force applied to it will receive the same amount of force from the opposite direction (re-action). The rocket pushes downwards to the ground using its the force generated from its engines (action). The reaction of the initial force causes the ground to push the rocket upwards with an equal amount of force. The first law of motion discovered by Isaac Newton was the law of Inertia. This law posed the principle that an object requires an unbalanced (external) force to act upon it in order to be in motion. If an object is static or inert it will remain in this state until an unbalanced (external) force will act upon it. If an object is in uniform motion and continues to move in the same speed, in the same course it will maintain this rate unless an unbalanced (external)force is acted upon the steady object. If no unbalanced force is applied to the object then the object will sustain its uniform state of motion. Acceleration is caused by force acting on an object with mass. As a result acceleration is effected by the mass of which force is applied to. The larger the mass of the object of which force is applied, the more force is required in order to accelerate the object initially. The calculation of force is identified by this equation: FORCE = MASS x ACCELERATION For example: Badr pushes the 1000kg...

Rose Ann Tamolang Objective To study and apply Newton’s 2nd law of motion and identify the forces involved in uniform circular motion. Discussion of Related Physics Concept An object at rest will remain at rest unless acted on by an unbalanced force. An object in motion continues in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. This law is often called "the law of inertia". This means that there is a natural tendency of objects to keep on doing what they're doing. All objects resist changes in their state of motion. In the absence of an unbalanced force, an object in motion will maintain this state of motion. According to Newton's second law acceleration is produced when a force acts on a mass. The greater the mass (of the object being accelerated) the greater the amount of force needed (to accelerate the object). Everyone unconsiously knows the Second Law. Everyone knows that heavier objects require more force to move the same distance as lighter objects. Newton's second law was used to analyze a variety of physical...

Generally, the motion could be described by a function of time. For example, a particle moves along x-direction in a constant speed v, its position can be written as x = vt + x0 ( x(t) (2.1) x0 can be determined by the initial condition. If the particle moves in a three dimensional space, its path at time t can be described by the following equation: r(t) = x(t) i + y(t) j + z(t) k (2.2) r (r(t) (2.3) where r denotes vector [pic] and same for i, j, and k. Quite a few books used such bold form letters as vectors for simplicity. At the time of t+(t, r(t) becomes r(t+ (t). The change of its path during the interval (t is given by (r = r(t+ (t) - r(t). (r(t) is called the displacement of the particle in (t period. It also has three components in x, y and z directions. r(t) is called the equation of motion for the particle. 2.1.2 Velocity and Acceleration 1.
