Slope is defined as 'rise over run' in other words: take the height of the ramp and divide it by the length of the ramp. This gives you the slope.

How does newtons second law apply of changing the direction of an object?

Newton's Second law involves acceleration which is changing the velocity. Velocity can be changed in two ways, direction or speed, so Newton's Law applies to both.


How does newtons second law apply to billiards?

Yes. Newtons three laws of physics apply to everything in our universe. Only when you study molecular structure and the early formation of the universe do you have to use Einstein's Theories.


How do you write a sentence for newtons second law of motion?

When we apply force on an object, it accelerates in the direction of applied force. This acceleration is directly proportional to the magnitude of force and inversely related to the mass of the object.


When does rolling friction apply?

When things are rolling.


What are the three types of friction and when does each apply?

There are three types of friction, static friction, rolling friction, and sliding friction. Static friction is friction between two surfaces that aren't moving relatively to each other. Rolling friction is friction between a rolling object and the surface that it is rolling on. Sliding friction is friction where an object slides, or rubs against, another surface.


How does egg drop project apply to newtons 3rd law?

the second law of motion states the relationship between force, mass and acceleration. acceleration= force/mass


How do newtons laws of motion apply to the motion of an animal such as a cat that is running?

Newtons Laws apply to the motion of an animal such as a cat that is running because an object at rest will remain at rest unless it is acted on by an unbalanced force. A cat running remains in motion until it becomes tired or it is stopped by another force.

How does newtons second law apply to ping pong?

The harder you hit the ball, makes it accelerate and makes it difficult to return the ball back on the table.


If you apply a fixed number of newtons on an object over time does it accelerate?

It depends on whether the force is unbalanced against another. If so, then yes; it will accelerate according to the formula F = ma or a = F/m. Note that force does not accumulate - applying one newton every minute for ten minutes is not the same as applying ten newtons for one minute.


Newtons second law says to move a mass you need a?

A force. To be precise, a force causes an acceleration - a change in velocity. In theory, if an object is already moving you don't need a force to keep it moving, although in practice, quite often there are frictional forces that slow the object down.


How does newtons law of motion apply to a bridges' efficiency?

I. Every object in a state of uniform motion tends to remain in that state of motion unless an external force is applied to it.
