Motion

In the realm of physics, there exists a concept that holds the key to understanding the intricate rotational motion of objects—the moment of inertia. When we delve into the moment of inertia of a connecting rod, we embark on a captivating journey through the realm of rotational dynamics, unraveling the complex relationship between mass distribution […]

Perpetual Motion (of machines) is defined as “The motion of a machine that, once activated, would run forever unless subject to an external force”; is it possible? Let’s start off where it all began. Ever since the 8th century man has been attempting to build Perpetual Motion Machines, many were designs of a system of […]

Ticker – Timer Practical Report Introduction This practical is investigating the motion of a trolley as it is placed at the top of an inclined ramp, and is released to roll down the ramp. With the aid of a ticker-timer, the average speed and acceleration can be determined, and using this data, the amount of […]

The aim of this investigation is to determine the horizontal motion of a uniform particle when released down a ramp at varying speeds. The manipulation of speed will be achieved by positioning the projectile at different heights above a table, on a ramp. I believe that the horizontal component of the particle’s travel will be […]

Introduction In this lab the main focus was projectile motion. A projectile is an object flying through the air that is only under the force of gravity (neglecting air resistance). A projectile moves both horizontally and vertically, which creates a parabolic flight path. In vertical projectile motion there is a constant velocity since there are […]

“PRINCIPLES OF MOTION ECONOMY” These 22 rules are principles of motion economy are profitably applied to many kinds of work. Although not all are applicable to every operation, they do form a basis or a code for improving the efficiency and reducing fatigue in manual work. USE OF THE HUMAN BODY 1.The two hands should […]
