Historians, however, are quite certain that Galileo never performed such an experiment. Galileo’s actual experiments with acceleration involved rolling cannon balls down inclined planes. He did this out of necessity because of his inability to make precise measurements of the short time intervals ...
When an object is thrown upwards, why is velocity slowing down? Why doesn't a heavy object accelerate more than a light object when both are freely falling? A sky diver with a mass of 60 kg jumps from an airplane. Five seco...
9. Stop recording and determine the acceleration of the cart when it moves up the incline and when it moves down the incline. 10. Repeat steps 7 - 9 10 times and determine the average acceleration of the cart when it moves up the incline and when it moves down the incline (include an...
Because of these forces, the object experiences an acceleration of a = 7.00 m / s 2 in the positive x-direction. If 1 = 30.0 , calculate the magnitude of F 2 given that A 35.0 kg object is being pulled up at 20...
In summary, the conversation discusses a physics experiment where a ball is placed on a rotating platform attached to an elevated platform at a 45 degree angle. The ball does not immediately roll down the incline due to the force of rotation and gravity. As the platform slows down, the ...
In the figure, represents an incline of the car (The car is assumed to face positive x direction). The acceleration and inclination of the car can be estimated using: ax g sin cos a y g sin sin (3.1) Equation (3.1) can be rewritten as a 2 x ...
In this paper, we will present our experience on the use of a new design of the emergency locking unit for a BIS system. We designed a recliner sensor which estimates the absolute degree of incline of the car body based on an MEMS accelerometer. ...
