    An investigation into the specific heat capacity of a solid Introduction: In this experiment I investigated the specific heat capacity of brass and aluminium‚ in order to do this I arranged a series circuit with a heater‚ the heater would go inside the brass and aluminium and heat it for an amount of time in which I decided‚ I also used the voltmeter in parallel. This arrangement made me able to arrange the equation VIT= mcΔθ‚ since the electrical energy in would be equal to the mass times the

    Zach Hicks (Z1603274) Karen Richards Section F (0900 - 1150) 11/30/12 The Waiter Problem Solving Part A: Center of Mass in One Direction 1. Since the mass of the plate is a uniform‚ the center of mass is in the center of the plate. The plate has diameter d = 28 cm‚ thus the center of mass is 14 cm from the edge of the plate. In the lab‚ two scenarios will be analyzed; 1) when the glass is standing up‚ and 2) when the glass is laying on its side. When the glass is standing up‚ its mass

    Introduction The purpose of this lab is to examine the motion of an electron‚ when it encounters a constant magnetic and electric field. We will also observe when the electric field and magnetic field will cancel each other out. This will lead to the electron having no net force acting upon it. By adjusting the values for the magnetic and electric fields‚ we will be able to check the different paths the electron follows. From this data we will be able to calculate the charge-to-mass ratio. Then

    Physics can simply be defined as the science that studies the mechanics of matter‚ motion‚ energy‚ and force. Dance in my opinion is a type of performance categorized as a form of art that involves the mind‚ body‚ soul‚ and a little something called physics. Dancing is a personal favorite hobby of mine‚ but I’ve never really considered the physics side of dancing which seems odd considering all the different movements and techniques that involve many principles of physics such as rotational inertia

    Energy Energy can neither be created or destroyed‚ only changed into different forms. Energy is only useful when it can be converted into different forms. Energy is often dissipated - spread out and lost. 9 types of energy: Thermal (heat) - flows from hot to cold objects Kinetic (movement) - anything that is moving has this Light - from the sun‚ light bulbs et cetera Elastically potential - when things are stretched Gravitational potential - anything that can fall Electrical - whenever

    Pendulum Raiyan Hassan SPH3U September 20‚ 2011 Introduction A pendulum is a device which consists of a mass attached to a string from a frictionless pivot which allows it to swing back and forth. In this experiment‚ the time it takes for a pendulum to go through a period is going to be measured. The time it takes for a pendulum to go through one period can depend on factors such as the length of the string‚ mass‚ or the degree in which the pendulum is released from (amplitude). In this

    Chapter 13 – States of Matter Pressure (P) – the amount of force per unit area. Pressure=F/a  or  P=F/a Pascal’s Principle “Any change in pressure at a point on a confined fluid is transmitted throughout the fluid”.  Any change is transmitted throughout the fluid. Buoyancy & Archimedes Principle “When an object is submerged in a fluid‚ it displaces a certain volume of that fluid.  The amount of force pushing upward on the object is equal to the density of the fluid (ρ) times the acceleration
