Popsicle Chain Lab Report

Urias Fuentes So far, I have learned So far, I have learned that a popsicle stick chain reaction normally comes from potential kinetic energy. When you twist the popsicle sticks together, you are frequently creating potential energy. When you are forming a popsicle chain reaction you need to make sure that each popsicle stick is vertically on top and under the previous stick which creates the tension in the wood of the popsicle stick. When you have your preferred chain length you release, and all the tension and potential energy is released in a chain reaction of kinetic energy. I have learned that for a chemical reaction to take place, the particles involved in the reaction must collide with each other. It is unnecessary for all …show more content…

How does momentum work in the Physics of Motion? Momentum is the product of the velocity of an object and the mass of the object. The equation for momentum is P=MV P=momentum M=mass V= velocity. The direction where momentum goes, the velocity and the change in momentum are equal. When a force is applied it relates to both the amount of force and the amount of time for which it is applied. What were Newton’s 3 Laws of motion? The First law of Motion for Newton states “A body in motion will remain at rest, and a body in motion will remain in motion unless it is acted upon by an external force.” It also states that things can’t start, stop, or change direction by themselves. The First Law of Motion is known as inertia. The Second Law of Motion states “the force acting on an object is equal to the mass of that object times the acceleration. (F=MA). The Second Law of Motion describes what occurs to a massive body when it is acted upon by an external force. When a constant force acts on a massive body it causes to accelerate, and change its velocity, at a constant rate. If the object has been in motion, Jupiter Ed

    Some factors that influence the speed of a chemical reaction are: (1) surface area of starting reactants; (2) concentration of reactants; (3) temperatures. The particle theory states that a solute dissolved takes place at the surface of the solvent and the larger the surface area of the particle the longer it will take to dissolve. The smaller the area the faster it will

  • Newton's First Law: The Law Of Rollercoaster

    292 Words  | 2 Pages

    Newtons first law is the law of inertia which is commonly seen in roller coasters in amusement pars. The law of inertia is used by roller coaster designers and it states that an object at rest will stay at rest and an object in motion will stay in motion until unbalanced forces are placed on it. At the beginning of the roller coaster ride, the ride is at rest and the roller coaster needs to be pulled up to the top of the large hill which holds the most potential energy in the entire ride, after this when the roller coaster goes down, it stays moving naturally through the law of inertia until brakes are applied on it. Newtons second law is the law of force and acceleration, this states that the acceleration of an object multiplies by its

    Physics was observed during a DHS girls lacrosse game by Newton’s Laws and in free-fall. Newton’s Laws consist of 3 different laws, the law of inertia, F=ma, and action-reaction forces. Free-fall was observed in the game when the lacrosse ball falls, and only gravity acts upon it. All in all, Newton’s Laws and free-fall was portrayed during the lacrosse game.

  • Dennett's Intentional Theory Analysis

    2283 Words  | 10 Pages

    In trying to understand the functioning and the nature of the mind, many theories have put across. In this essay I would like to focus on Dennett’s ‘Intentional Strategy’ as he gives a scientifically informed account of the mind. His approach is focused on the third person observer who ascribes intentions, beliefs and desires of an object or a thing thereby taking a stance. The stance taken helps one to ‘make sense of and predict the behaviour of any creature’ (Heil 1998:156). Then I will whether minds can be defined as a property of intentional system and finally, I will attempt to show that Dennett’s position is that of a reductionist.

    Results: Qualitative Observation:     While standing in the elevator at rest, the individual felt normal, meaning it was the same feeling as standing in a regular room. As the elevator accelerated upwards going to a higher floor, the person’s body felt slightly heavier and as if the elevator floor was pushing against her feet. However, as the elevator was cruising, she felt that she was back to normal again as she did standing in the lab. As the elevator approached its destination, it began to decelerate and that is when her body felt lighter for a split second. When moving from a higher floor to a lower floor, again standing in the elevator feels normal.

    It was the foundations for mechanics where he formulated the three laws of Motion. The first law states, “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” (Newton). The second law says, “Acceleration is produced when a force acts on a mass, the greater the mass of the object, the greater the force required to accelerate it” and the third law tells, “For every action, there is an equal but opposite

    A lever is a board or bar resting on an object called a fulcrum, and a wheel and axle is made out of a rod going through a wheel. Even though there are many different kinds of energy, the two main ones are kinetic energy and potential energy. Kinetic energy is the energy that an object has while it is motion. The faster an bject moves the more kinetic energy it has. The kinetic energy increases as its mass increases.

    Mickey Ngobeni Research Question: Is the movie ‘Gravity’, according to Newton’s laws and physics in general, accurate? Introduction: ‘Gravity’ is a sci-fi, techno-thriller movie that has its plot’s setting based in space. Astronauts (main characters: Sandra Bullock as ‘Dr. Ryan Stone’ and George Clooney as ‘Matt Kolwaski’) are sent into space, yet encounter a series of events, most of which is susceptible to occur in outer space (Foogray, 2015). Questions have risen as to how accurate the movie is according to physics and Newton’s law, and many have been answered.

    This model demonstrate the transformation of mechanical energy from the form of potential to the form of kinetic and vice versa. Mechanical energy refers to the total of potential energy and kinetic energy in a system: KEi + PEi = KEf + PEf. The principle of conservation of mechanical energy states that total mechanical energy, which is the addition of potential energy and kinetic energy, remains constant as long as the only forces acting are conservative forces. “A conservative force is defined as a force with the property that the work done in moving an object between two points is independent of the taken path.” ( Robert A. Pelcovits, 2002) Example of conservative forces in this project is gravitational potential energy.
