...Boronny Touch, Elizabeth Trejo, Roneisha Handy <br /><br /><br />The four forces involved in rocket flight are weight, thrust, and the aerodynamic forces, lift and drag. The magnitude of the weight depends on the mass of all of the parts of the rocket. There are many different types of rockets. They are compressed air rockets, water rockets, model rockets, and full scale rockets. During the entire flight of a compressed air rocket only the aerodynamic forces and weight act on the rocket. Unlike compressed air rockets, the mass of the bottle rocket varies during flight. There are four systems in a full scale rocket, the structural system, payload system, guidance system, propulsion system.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4107303980700785197.post-71348995857581045582010-03-22T09:42:48.760-04:002010-03-22T09:42:48.760-04:00Eunice Polanco, Cynthia Garcia, Courtney Manns, Do...Eunice Polanco, Cynthia Garcia, Courtney Manns, Dondre Edwards, Angelo Faiella<br /><br />The area around an object where another mass will experience gravitational force is known as a gravitational field. <br /><br />When field lines are close together, the force is greater on the mass.<br /><br />G is the gravitational constant.

The closer the field lines are to each other, the stronger the gravitational force. The field is the same at the same distance from the center of the planet whether the body is extended or compressed. We have potential energy because we do work against gravity to get to a certain point. An object field strength always decreases as the height increase, since the field lines of the Earth’s surface it always directed downwards and it never varies with the height. There is a very small percentage of the field strength in addition we also learned that the field strength is measure in force per unit mass. The gravitational field strength and the acceleration of gravity is the same all the time. The gravitational potential energy gains energy as the height of the field lines are increasing. An object that travels in circular orbit has a centripetal force (F= m2v2) that is equal to the gravitational force (F=Gm1m2/r2) on the objects. All objects in circular orbit around a certain planet of mass, only has any specific value of speed, radius or period. The geostationary satellite remains a certain point above the earth’s equator with a 24 hour period of orbit. In conclusion we learned a series of formulas. For example, delta Ep=mg delta h, which shows the correlation between the potential energy, mass, acceleration due to gravity, and the change in height. We also learned that G is the gravitational constant is equal to 6.67 × 10–11 N m2 kg–2.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4107303980700785197.post-43038642998199714102010-03-22T09:24:34.231-04:002010-03-22T09:24:34.231-04:00Elizabeth Trejo

The closer field lines are to each other, the stronger the force on the mass. The formula for gravitational field strength is g= F/m. F stands for the gravitational force and m stands for the mass. The gravitational field strength at any point on the field is equal to the mass of the object causing the field, which can be written as g= Gm/r2. The universal constant of gravitation, G, is 6.67 x 10-11 N m2 kg-2 . Close to the earth’s surface, the gravitational field strength is approximately equal to 9.8 N kg-1. When an object travels in a circular orbit around a planet of mass, the gravitational force on the object can be figured out by using the equation: F= Gm1m2/r2.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4107303980700785197.post-64205277913126122842010-03-22T08:45:23.973-04:002010-03-22T08:45:23.973-04:00Sherwin Yu, Emmanuel Torres

One...Alyssa Zargos, Kevin Andrade, Mohammed Hamid<br /><br /><br />One of Isaac Newton's great achievements was his formula for the universal law of gravitation. Newton's universal law of gravitation can be explained with the equation F = Gm1m2/r2, where F is the force between the two objects, m1 and m2 are their masses and r is the distance between them. The gravitational field is the area around an object where another mass will experience a gravitational force. There is a force exerting on a mass in the field which is represented by field lines. The closer together the field lines, the stronger the force on a mass. The gravitational force per unit mass is the gravitational field strength. If you get really far away from the Earth the force of gravity on you gets to be nothing and you would no longer be pulled towards the Earth, so you no longer have energy that can be changed back to another form. Gravitational potential V is calculated from the equation V = –Gm1/r, where G is the gravitational constant, m1 is the mass of the planet and r is the distance from the centre of the planet. The potential energy of a mass m2 at any point is given by Ep = m2V.<br /><br />The field close to the surface of the Earth, is the gravitational field strength that is almost constant in magnitude, g = 9.81 Nkg-1. The gravitational field strength and the acceleration due to gravity always have the same value. The field strength varies, and as it decreases as the height increases. Potential energy gained depend on the mass of the object is proportional to the mass. The increase in gravitational potential energy is directly proportional to the increase in height and mass. This can be written ΔEp = kmΔh, where k is a constant of proportionality, m is the mass and Δh is the increase in height.<br /><br /> Centripetal force is F = m2v2/r and the force of gravity F = Gm1m2/r2. Those two equations are equal to each other if an object of mass m2 is travelling with speed v in a circular orbit of radius r around a planet of mass m1. In the multimedia picture, the spacecraft orbited around the earth. As the speed increases, the rocket goes into an elliptical orbit which takes it further from the Earth. The speed needed to keep the spacecraft orbiting around earth is 3073 m s–1. For all circular orbits round a particular planet of mass m1, there is only one orbit with any specific value of speed, radius or period. Law of gravitation, gravitational field strength, gravitational potential energy, and centripetal force is very important when dealing with the force of objects and more specifically objects in space.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4107303980700785197.post-6270792192466036832010-03-22T08:40:40.847-04:002010-03-22T08:40:40.847-04:00Marissa Martinez

This was in fact one or Newton’s many great achievements his formulation of this gravitational law. When investigating the gravitational field around a planet change the further an object is from a planet the smaller the force. Therefore the total force surrounding the planet is greater. Field strength is defined as force per unit (1 kg) mass or g = F/m. Size has no effect on the gravitational field and the force exerted on an object because the amount of force stays the same whether the planet is big or small. The field strength is inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the center of the planet. The value of G will always stay constant at 6.67 × 10–11 N m2 kg–2. Each point in a gravitational field has gravitational potential which means that it is work done in bringing unit mass (1 kg) from infinity to that point. Gravitational potential (V) is calculated from the equation V = –Gm1/r, where G is the gravitational constant, m1 is the mass of the planet and r is the distance from the center of the planet. The potential energy of a mass m2 at any point is given by Ep = m2V. Gravitational potential energy increases steadily with height and is directly proportional to height. Increases in gravitational potential energy are directly proportional to the increase in height and mass. The surface of the Earth the gravitational field strength is nearly constant in magnitude, g = 9.81 N kg–1.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4107303980700785197.post-42466515270777931602010-03-22T08:32:54.658-04:002010-03-22T08:32:54.658-04:00Bryan DeVissiere

The gravitation field is the area around an object where another mass will experience a gravitational force. The field is represented by field lines which show the direction of the force on a mass in the field. And thus, simply stated, the closer together the field lines, the stronger the force on the mass. The field strength is the gravitational force per unit (1 kg) mass. This can be written as g = F/m. This field strength at any point is proportional to the mass m1 of the object causing the field, and inversely proportional to the square of the distance r to the point from the centre of the object. This can be written as g = Gm1/r2. The force on a mass m2 in the field is given by F = gm2, which gives F = Gm1m2/r2. Now, the gravitational potential at any point in the field is given by V = –Gm1/r. Throughout this summary we’ve been using the variable G and not know exactly what it means. G is the gravitational constant and its value is 6.67 × 10–11 N m2 kg–2. In relation to little g, the gravitational field strength close to the center of the earth is, in magnitude, g = 9.81 N kg–1. Because the variation in the gravitational field strength is going to be in the negative phase, the potential energy gained by an object moving in the gravitational field can be taken to be directly proportional to the increase in height: (delta)Ep = mg(delta)h. If an object of mass m2 is travelling with speed v in a circular orbit of radius r around a planet of mass m1, then the centripetal force F = m2v2/r is equal to the gravitational force on the object F = Gm1m2/r2.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4107303980700785197.post-25309517662727951782010-03-22T08:25:05.665-04:002010-03-22T08:25:05.665-04:00Talisha Peeler & Sara Atehortua

Objects moving in a circle at constant speeds have a uniform circular motion which has no tangential acceleration, a velocity which is constant and tangent to the circle, and centripetal acceleration changing direction directed towards the center of the circle. The formula for centripetal acceleration is a=v2/r and the equation for centripetal force is F=mv2/r.<br /> The SI unit of an angle is called the radian. The radian is a unit of plane angle, equal to 180/π (or 360/(2π)) degrees, or about 57.2. The angle of a full circle is equal to 2π, by the same principle; a quarter of a circle is equal to π/2, and half a circle is π. The length of an arc in a circle is equal to r (angle), where the angle is in radians and r is the radius of the circle. As an object moves in a circular motion, its angular displacement can be described in radians i.e. half a circle is described as π and not 180 degrees. Centripetal acceleration is the rate of change of tangential velocity, the direction of the centripetal acceleration is always inwards along the radius vector of the circular motion. Centripetal acceleration is equal to r(w)to the second power. Within the circle, velocity can be measured as radians per second, just as they are used to measure displacement. Centripetal force can be written as mr(w)to the second power.<br /> We learned that circular motion is able to be applied to all forms of objects known to man, the principles and equations can be used on all types or sizes of objects. In addition, centripetal forces can be in different types of forms, for example path of a roller coaster or the path of a race car track. The centripetal force must be provided by friction alone on a curve, and a increase in speed could lead to an unexpected skid if friction is insufficient can create something very unpleasant if there is no friction.<br /><br />Boronny Touch<br />Adrian Simpson<br />Sergio MunozAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4107303980700785197.post-81385306635080254042010-03-01T09:03:51.229-05:002010-03-01T09:03:51.229-05:00Cynthia Garcia

Speed ...Alyssa Zargos, Alex Soares, Kevin Andrade.<br /><br />Speed and velocity in a moving object going in a circle differs. The speed of an object moving in a circle only has magnitude, and no direction. Also velocity has direction and magnitude. During moving objects, the speed is constant when it has reached maximum speed, and it changes as it starts up and stops. Also the velocity is never constant because it is always slowing down and starting up. An object moving at a constant speed in a circle is said to have uniform circular motion. When circular motion is uniformed tangential acceleration is equal to zero. An object moving in a circle would always a changing velocity at a tangent to the circle. Also, there is a changing centripetal acceleration directed towards the centre of the circle and perpendicular to the velocity. The equation a = v2/r is to figure out centripetal acceleration, and to figure out centripetal force is F = mv2/r. The constants v = speed of the object, r = radius of the circle, and m = the mass of the object moving. <br /><br />There are a few different ways to measure angles. The SI unit of the angle is called a radian. The radian is defined as the angle that starts at the center of the circle by an arc on the circumference that is equal in length to the radius of the circle. The angle of a whole circle is 2pi radians. The length of any arc is equaled to r-theta. Theta equals the angle in radians. The angular displacement of an object moving in a circle is measured in radians and given the symbol theta. The centripetal acceleration is known as a = rw, and the force is equaled as F = mrw2. <br /><br />The principles and equations of circular motion can be applied to the motion of objects on all scales, including subatomic particles. The centripetal force can be provided by a variety of different forces and combinations of forces. The contribution of weight of an object to the centripetal force will vary.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4107303980700785197.post-8070608540488482462010-02-12T08:43:37.795-05:002010-02-12T08:43:37.795-05:00Sherwin Yu

Circles ar...Sherwin Yu<br />Emmanuel Torres<br />Kevin Pham<br /><br /> Circles are very critical in physics for there are many different types of forces acting upon an object traveling in that circle. When an object is traveling in a circle the direction is constantly changing, therefore the velocity will always be changing. The speed is only constant whenever it has reached maximum speed. Centripetal force and acceleration are always directed towards the center of the circle. An object moving in a circle will always have a centripetal acceleration that is perpendicular to the velocity.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4107303980700785197.post-84431147573157602362009-05-18T09:16:00.000-04:002009-05-18T09:16:00.000-04:00Niccolai Arenas, Yesenia Llanos, Catalina Estrada,...Niccolai Arenas, Yesenia Llanos, Catalina Estrada, Nataliya Kushta said...<br />Yesenia Llanos <br />Catalina Estrada<br />Nataliya Kushta<br />Niccolai Arenas<br />May 12, 2009<br />Multimedia Lab<br /><br />Oscillations<br /><br />-Why does the length of the acceleration indicator bar fall back to zero after the cannonball leaves the cannon?<br />Because the cannon ball is not moving anymore.<br />-Describe the relationship between force and displacement for the cannonball as it travels along the barrel.<br />The force is independent of the displacement.<br />-How is the graph is consistent with the relationship F = ma?<br />The graph is a straight line that passes through the origin, showing that force is proportional to acceleration.<br />-What is the displacement when force is zero<br />Zero<br />-Describe the relationship between force and displacement<br />The force is proportional to the displacement but they are going in opposite directions.<br />-How does this new oscillation affect the relationship between force and displacement?<br />They are the same<br />-What is the displacement when acceleration is zero?<br />It is zero<br />What do you notice about the relative directions of force and acceleration?<br />They are always in the same direction<br />-Describe the relationship between force and acceleration.<br />Force is proportional to the acceleration<br />-What is the acceleration when displacement is a) zero, and b) at its maximum value?<br />a.

The water doesn't go anywhere; it is only the energy which moves.<br /><br />V= (gd)^1/2<br /><br />If a succession of stones were dropped, one each second, a wave train would be created. The expanding circles in the wave train are called wave fronts. <br />1.) One stone is dropped into the water every 1/5 second. What are the period and frequency of the wave motion?<br />Period = 1/5 second<br />Frequency = 1 / (1/5) = 5 Hz<br />The distance between the maxima is called the wavelength of the wave.<br /><br />Distance = speed x time<br />Wavelength = wave speed x period<br /><br />Assuming the wave speed of the disturbance on water is 2 m/s, and the period of the wave motion is 1/5 s, what is the wavelength of the wave motion?<br />Wavelength = (2 m/s) x (1/5 s) = 0.4 m<br />Longitudinal: displacements are parallel to direction of propagation. Transverse: displacements perpendicular to propagation direction Compressions are regions of above-normal air pressure. Rarefactions are regions of below-normal air pressure.<br />2.) The speed of sound in air is about 340 m/s. What is the wavelengh of sound created at 1000 Hz?<br />Waverlength = (340) x (1000) = 340000<br />Ultrasound is sound at a frequency which is outside of the range of human hearing. Sound travels faster in warm air. When compressions from one source overlap rarefactions from another, cancellation occurs. Beat frequency<br />is the difference between the frequencies of the two tuning forks.<br />Positions of zero rope displacement in a standing wave are called nodes. At each end of any loop there is a node, and two loops makes one wavelength. Distance between adjacent nodes is one-half wavelength. <br />Doppler Effect - Approaching, the frequency of a sound is higher because the wavefronts are closer together<br />in time. Departing, the frequency is lower. Sounds are a mixture of the fundamental and one or more of the overtones. These mixtures are called composite vibrations.<br />May 14, 2009 10:01 AM <br />Yesenia Llanos, Niccolai Arenas, Ashley Lynk, Catalina Estrada, Nataliya Kushta said...<br />• Move the amplitude slider back and forth to see its effects on all parts of the wave.

• The cannonball is no...Introducing Oscillations<br /><br /><br /><br />• The cannonball is no longer experiencing an accelerating force. Acceleration is zero and velocity (neglecting air resistance) is constant<br /><br />• The force is independent of displacement<br />• The graph is a straight line that passes through the origin, showing that force is proportional to acceleration. The relationship F=ma applies to all motion of any constant mass, and it shows that the gradient of the graph is the mass m<br /><br />• When the force is zero, the displacement is also zero<br />• Force is proportional to displacement, but in the opposite direction<br />• The relationship is the same as before (but the maximum values of force and displacement are smaller).<br /><br />• When the acceleration is zero, the displacement is also zero<br />• The relative directions of force and acceleration are always in the same direction<br />• Force is proportional to acceleration<br />• When the displacement is zero, the acceleration is also zero at its maximum value<br />• The relative directions of acceleration and displacement are always in the opposite direction<br /><br />• The gradient of the graph has increased<br />• The acceleration is constant while the ball is in the barrel and velocity increases steadily while the ball is in the barrel<br /><br />• The force on the cannonball is constant and in the same direction as the displacement. A force producing oscillation varies with displacement and is in the opposite direction to it thus acting as a restoring force<br /><br />• Displacement and velocity are not always in the opposite directions<br />• When velocity has its maximum value, displacement is at zero<br />• The boxing glove is at the equilibrium position when it exhibits its fastest movement<br /><br />• When velocity is zero, the value of acceleration is at its maximum<br />• When displacement has its maximum values, the velocity is zero<br />• When the displacement is zero, the acceleration is also zero<br />• The values of 2(3.14)ft angle theta are the same<br />• Sin 2(3.14)ft may have values that ranges from negative 1 to positive 1<br />• X may have values that ranges from negative A to positive A<br /><br /><br />Wave Behavior<br /><br /><br /><br />• The reflected waves are moving downwards, across the original wave.<br />• To make the rippled tank produce waves of a smaller wavelength you must make the motor run faster so that the wooden beam vibrates more frequently.<br />• After reflection, the plane wave becomes a circular wave.<br />• The curved reflections waves get smaller and concentrate into a point.<br />• The reflection wave has a circular shape.<br />• The reflected waves seem to come from a point behind the reflector that is the same distance from it as the original source of the waves.<br />• The wave changes direction when it enters the shallow water.<br />• Wave speed is less in the shallow water.<br />• The wave is moving from left to right.<br />• The particles are moving up and down.<br />• The wave above the black centre line one cm.<br />• The distance between two wave tops is 15 cm.<br />• The amplitude of the wave is 5 cm.<br />• When you move the wavelength slider to the far left the wave crests get closer together.<br />• The wavelength is now 10 cm.<br />• The wavelength is now 20 cm.<br />• The amplitude is now 5 cm.<br />• The energy carried by the wave has not changed because the wave amplitude has not changed.<br />• The amplitude of the wave is 5cm and its wavelength is 15cm.<br />• The velocity of the wave has increased.<br />• No, the amplitude of the wave and wavelength did not change.<br />• The amplitude changes the height of the crest and the depths of the troughs, but not the wavelength or velocity.<br />• The wavelength changes the distance between neighboring crests and neighboring troughs, but not the amplitude or velocity.<br />• The other red particle is at the same height.<br />• The yellow particle is at its lowest point.<br />• The other red particle is at its lowest point.<br />• The yellow particle is at its highest point.<br />• The two red particles are one wavelength apart.<br />• The red and yellow particles are half a wavelength apart.<br />• The vertical ones get through both of the circular filters.<br />• The vertical waves cannot pass through the filter.<br />• The horizontal waves get through the first filter but not the second one.<br />• The horizontal waves can get through the second filter by rotating is at 90 degrees.<br />• The wave travelled 24m.<br />• The connection between the numbers in each row of the table is velocity = frequency x wavelength.<br />• The wave is moving from left to right.<br />• Their disturbance is different to the way they are distributed by a transverse wave because the particles are disturbed from left to right, rather than up and down.<br />• The maximum displacement of a particle from the middle of its motion is 0.5cm.<br />• The amplitude is about 0.25cm.<br />• The amount of energy was increased by increasing the amplitude.<br />• The distance between the centres of two neighboring compressions is approximately 10cm.<br />• The distance between the centres of two neighboring rarefactions is approximately 10cm.<br />• This compares to the distance between compressions because they are the same.<br />• The wavelength is about 13cm.<br />• The amplitude of the wave is 0.5cm.<br />• The wavelength of the wave is 10cm.<br />• The velocity of the wave has increased.<br />• The amplitude of the wave is 0.5cm.<br />• The wavelength of the wave is 10cm.<br />• As the velocity changes the amplitude and the wavelength stay the same.<br />• You see lightning flash before hearing thunder because light travels much faster than sound.<br />• The minimum wavelength value is 5cm.<br />• The maximum wavelength value is 20cm.<br />• The vertical layer of air particles move back and forth either side of their rest position.<br />• They moved closer to this layer.<br />• They have moved further from this layer.<br />• The approximate displacement of the green layers at the middle of a compression is zero.<br />• The approximate displacement of the red layers at the middle of a compression is zero.<br />• When the displacement graph is positive, the particles displace to the right.<br />• When the displacement graph is negative, the particles displace to the left.<br />• When the amplitude slider is set to a lower setting, the air pressure reduces.<br />• The height of the crest of the wave on the screen is two divisions.<br />• The amplitude of the wave in volts is 2 x 0.2 = 0.4V<br />• The wavelength of the wave on the screen is four divisions.<br />• The time represented by the wavelength value is 4 x 0.5 = 2/1000 in secondsAjaque, Jonathon, Damynicque,
