the time period of a pendulum. Research question: How does the length of a pendulum affect its time period? The independent variable is the length. The dependent variable is the time. Controlled variable is the mass of the pendulum bob. Formula for 1 period of oscillation of a pendulum of a certain length is T=2π √lg Where l is length and g is gravity (9.81 ms-2) T2= 4π2 lg T2= 4π2g l Hypothesis: The longer the length of the pendulum is‚ the longer the time that is needed

How the Length of a Wire Affects Its Resistance In my physics coursework I am going to investigate the effect of the length of a wire on its resistance. Resistance is the measure of how easy it is for current to flow through a wire. Current is the rate of flow of charge through a conductor‚ and it is measured in amps using an ammeter. To help me plan my investigation I have completed a preliminary experiment in which I investigated the effect of the thickness of a wire on its resistance‚ using

Violent Media and Violent Behavior Paula M. Méndez‚ Megan Roy Miosotis Nieves University of Phoenix BCOM/275 July 23‚ 2013 Javier Maury-Ortiz Pros and supporting evidence There have been studies to prove that violent movies‚ games‚ and television shows can influence violent behavior. Multiple cases have shown that individuals playing video games‚ especially violent ones‚ can lead to aggression. Children who tend to play these types of games lose control rather easily‚ they tend to kick the

Violent Media: Violent Behavior? Over the past few years we have heard debates on violent media influencing violent behavior in young adults and teens. Some people claim that the violent media such as video games‚ comic books and cartoons are the cause of the outburst in violence such as the recent public school shootings and movie theaters. There is more evidence to support that this type of media is a healthy outlet under proper supervision. I believe that some violent media can help people

Violent crimes and aggression can be motivated by violent video games. Columbine school shooters(Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold) and theater shooter(James Holmes) all played these games. They would play these games for long hours daily. Studies show violence is motivated by the games that kids are playing. They act out these violent and illegal actions on their games and then do them in real life. Most of the teens in todays generation can honestly say they have played a violent video game at least

Research Paper Template Title of your research paper: Violent Media and Violent Behavior Thesis statement: Media violence has a serious negative impact on youths and to curtail this influence‚ we have to understand how and why aggressive behavior is encouraged through media viewing‚ experimental studies that support this claim‚ why youths are attracted to on screen violence‚ but more importantly how to curb the adverse effects of media violence on youths. Introduction –The introduction

17 September 2013 How Violent Media Affects Children’s Behavior Media these days are becoming very violent. Children are our future. There are many incidents involving children being influenced by violent media now a days. Violent media can be found in video games‚ movies‚ and even music. First of all‚ some parents may think “Just because my child kills people in video games‚ does not mean they will end up being a serial killer.” Well Dr. Phil states‚ "The number one negative effect is they

Physics GCSE coursework: Resistance of wire Aim: To investigate if the length of wire affects its resistance. Prediction (Hypothesis): I predict that the longer the wire the higher the resistance‚ and the shorter the wire the lower the resistance. Knowledge: Resistance is that property of electric components that turn electric energy into heat in opposing the passing of an electric current.It can be beneficial‚ as in electric heaters‚ or a pest‚ as in light bulbs‚ where the heat

circuit to be able to read the voltage and current when the length of wire changes‚ so I then can work out the resistance. I will be using constantan wire starting of with 1m length and then decreasing it by 0.10m intervals down to 0.20m long. I will not go above 1m or below 0.20m because it may be too long that they resist so much current that the wire burns‚ or the length of the wire is so small that it doesn’t resist any current at all. The length of the wire will be changed by moving the crocodile clip

How does the length of a wire affect its resistance? Introduction: This first report in Physics will show the investigation of how the length of a wire affects its resistance. For starters I will go through the main definitions‚ to get a better knowledge of what is going to happen. However I will plan it out first to show each step of how I started‚ and then go into detail about the results and what the investigation on a whole has showed me. I shall then conclude my findings and present them with
