Imagine you want to study what happens when an object accelerates. Oh, this is way before any of that internet stuff—also, no computers or electronics. In fact, let's say it's the year 1780. What do ...

We're at the Porsche test track to learn all about acceleration. Unit 2 Segment C: Acceleration and Kinematic Equations We're back at the Porsche test track to learn all about acceleration. Kinematic ...

Displacement close displacementA distance measured in a specified direction. is the distance moved in a straight line, in a given direction, from the starting point. Displacement = 24 m east. Velocity ...

In a fixed-field alternating-gradient (FFAG) accelerator, eliminating pulsed magnet operation permits rapid acceleration to synchrotron energies, but with a much higher beam-pulse repetition rate.

Long cardboard tube, such as an empty roll of wrapping paper, to make your ramp. It should be at least two-and-one-half feet long. A thin book or small wood block to raise one end of your ramp. It ...

Speaker one We’ve been using Sir Isaac Newton’s theories for hundreds of years and still use his equations today. Now, how can we test Newton’s second law using equipment found in our laboratory?

In a new study, physicists at the University of Colorado Boulder have used a cloud of atoms chilled down to incredibly cold temperatures to simultaneously measure acceleration in three dimensions—a ...
