The experiment was conducted as followed: Apparatus - Thin glass tubing (approximately 20cm long, no sharp edges) - Fishing line (1.5m length) - Alligator clip - Large 2-hole rubber stopper - Mass carrier and slotted masses (50g each) - Stopwatch(es) - Metre ruler - Graph paper 1...

Homework Statement Hi, the aim of this experiment is the investigate the relationship between the centripetal force acting on an object moving in a circle of constant radius and its frequency of revolution. For the experiment, there is a rubber stopper attached to fishing line, that is...

You'd feel more wind driving at 60mph, yeah? I know that there's more friction the faster you are travelling, but I am unsure as to how this affects horizontal distance more than vertical distance. What is the concept behind this?

Hi, I am in need for some physics help regarding the effect of air resistance on projectile motion. My question is "For a tennis ball stuck at an angle of 45 degrees to the horizontal at typical speed without spin, why does air resistance have a greater effect on the horizontal range of the...
