5.4 Projectile Motion
... Projectile motion can be separated into components. a. Roll a ball along a horizontal surface, and its velocity is constant because no component of gravitational force acts horizontally. b. Drop it, and it accelerates downward and covers a greater vertical distance each second. ...

... What is the difference between mass and weight? Newton used the term mass as a synonym for “quantity of matter”. More precisely mass is a measure of inertia. We will measure mass in kilograms (kg) this year. The more mass a body has the more inertia it has (the harder it is to change an object’s st ...

... One seismograph can only tell how far away it is from that seismograph. The earthquake could be located anywhere on a circle of radius equal to this distance and centered on the observation station. By measuring the S-P times at 3 or more stations these circles can be drawn around each station and w ...
