a. Simple Harmonic motion & Hook's Law
i. Harmonic motion &Hook's Law Any motion that repeats itself in equal intervals of time is called periodic motion. A special form of periodic motion is called Simple Harmonic Motion (SHM). Simple Harmonic Motion is defined as oscillatory motion in which the resultant force on the oscillating body at any instant is directly proportional to its displacement from the rest position and opposite in direction to its motion. For a spring system, this can be written as F = -kx where F is the resultant force on the object attached to the spring, x is the displacement of the object from equilibrium, k is a constant called the spring constant. The force is a restoring

The period T of the oscillating system does not depend on the displacement from rest as long as the spring is not overstretched. The period is the time it takes for as system to go through one full oscillation and return to its starting position.
ii. Mass-spring oscillator
Consider a compact mass (m) that slides over a frictionless horizontal surface. Suppose that the mass is attached to end of a light horizontal spring whose other end is anchored in an immovable wall. At time (t), let X(t) be the extension of the spring: that is, the difference between the spring's actual length and its unstretched length. X(t) can also be used as a coordinate to determine the instantaneous horizontal displacement of the mass. then the mass experiences a horizontal force given by Hooke's law,
F =

Since v = R, we can rewrite this as
Let's set the origin at the center of the circle so the position vector R is along the radius. Notice that the acceleration vector a is always in the direction opposite the position vector R . Since , the vectors a and R are related by . The x-component of this vector equation is: . If we write Rx = x , then we have , which is the SHM equation. Done.
iv. Simple Harmonic motion
A pendulum, a mass on a spring, and many other kinds of oscillators exhibit a special kind of oscillatory motion called Simple Harmonic Motion (SHM).
SHM occurs whenever :
i. there is a restoring force proportional to the displacement from equilibrium: F x ii. the potential energy is proportional to the square of the displacement: PE x2 iii. the period T or frequency f = 1 / T is independent of the amplitude of the motion. iv. the position x, the velocity v, and the acceleration a are all sinusoidal in
The coordinates of the system is defined by , θ = angle of the chassis from vertical, α = angle of tread assemblies from vertical, Ø = rotation angle of tread sprockets from vertical, mc = mass of chassis, mT = mass of tread, ms = mass of sprocket, Lc = length from centre of sprocket to centre of chassis, LT = length from centre of sprocket to centre of tread assembly. The kinetic energies of the sprocket, chassis and tread assemblies are given respectively , T_S=1/2[m_c x ̇^2+J_S φ ̇^2] (1) T_C=1/2 [〖m_c (x ̇-L_c θ ̇ cosθ)〗^2+m_c (〖L_c θ ̇ sin〖θ)〗〗^2+J_c θ ̇^2 ] (2) T_T=1/2[m_T (〖x ̇-L_T α ̇ cos〖α)〗〗^2+m_T (〖L_T α ̇ sin〖α)〗〗^2+J_T α ̇^2] (3) The gravitational potential energy is given by ,
The three most important properties of a wave are the wavelength, the amplitude, and the frequency. The wavelength is the distance from one point on a wave to the next identical point on the next wave. The amplitude is the distance from a waves rest position to either the crest or trough of the wave. The frequency is a rate which represents the amount of times a wave repeats
Wave properties: Frequency: How many waves go past a point in one second; measured in hertz (Hz). The higher the frequency, the more energy in the wave. 1 Ask the children to play 'verbal tennis' in partners on words that describe sounds (eg loud, quiet, vibration, pitch). One child says one word related to sound, then their partner says another and so on. 2 Ask the children what things make sounds.

Therefore, the linear shape of the rigid body rotation curve demonstrated that the curve was a solid body rotation. In the second activity, I completed the table by determining the speed of the planets in the solar system. The table included the planets,
From the velocity time graph, the total distance could be covered by using integrals. For example, to find the displacement from 1 second to three seconds, the equation 13v(t)dt would give the answer of -.684
This was made to gather and testing ideas. Another famous scientist named Isaac Newton, discovered the three laws of motion. The 1st law deals with “an object at rest tends to stay at rest, and an object in motion tends to stay in motion, with the same direction and speed.” (studios). “The 2nd law of motion deal with the second law says that the acceleration of an object produced by a net (total) applied force is directly related to the magnitude of the force.”
Group and Topic The group was composed of Korbett, Emanuel and Joshua. The primary duty was to research various accelerometers that were designed for use in sports without helmets such as volleyball, soccer and boxing. Background The Project as a whole is focused on concussions.

Microeconomics ECON212 -1504B-01 Instructor: Joseph Parisi Unit 2- Elasticity Amanda Kranning November 2015 In the laws of economics, when the price of an item goes up, the quantity of demand will decline. Elasticity becomes an integrant part by determining the response of this occurrence. The measurement in change in the quantity demanded in response to change in price is call elasticity for demand.
Forces and Newton II Elias Ghantous PHYS 151 – Section NQ Thursday 10:10am Hasbrouck Lab Room 214 October 13, 2017 Abstract In this experiment, I studied how forces cause an object to accelerate. I also studied the relationship between force vectors, mass and acceleration. Gathering of data took place through the use of a force table and a PAScar track system.
By implementing the second law of motion the particle will accelerate or decelerate if there exists a pressure difference over the particle. The particle’s velocity will increase when it is approaching a low-pressure region and decrease its velocity at a high-pressure region. This principle can also be seen in terms of pressure. If a fluid is slowed down in the pipe the pressure will rise and vice versa.

That’s your foot arch. Your foot arch acts like a spring. Whenever you take a step, your foot arches help bear the weight of your body and absorb the shock from the ground. But not all foot arches work the same since it has three main types. Before proceeding to the importance of knowing your foot arch type, here are the different foot arch types.
