I did not understand how to explain why temperature does not change during a phase change and am not entirely sure if I have accurately or thoroughly described 3.2.3 and 3.2.4. This is also the case for 3.2.12 Thermal Physics Thermal Concepts: Temperature (T) is a measure of how hot or cold an object is‚ and it is the temperature that determines the determines the direction of thermal energy transfer between two objects. It is a scalar quantity and is measure in degrees celcius (°C

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

Chee Yong Hui 6.5 Domino Effect IA Investigate the effect of the distance between each domino on the time taken for all the dominoes to fall Independent Variable: Distance‚ d/cm‚ between each domino. The distance d/cm is measured between the middle of one domino to the middle of the next domino Dependent Variable: Time taken for all the dominoes to be toppled to the ground. The timing will start when the 1st domino is hit by a metal ball and it will stop when the last domino falls completely

Aim • To calculate the SHC of water • To see how accurately I can measure a known quantity Research Question • Will the experiment carried out give us a good approximation of the SHC of water? Hypothesis • The result we will get as the SHC of water will not be exactly the same as the literature value‚ but will be a very close figure to the literature value of the SHC of water as there will be some limitations to our experiment. Variables Independent: temperature of water Dependent:

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

Beverly Hearst IB SL Physics Rate of Vaporization Design Lab Research Question: How does changing the surface area of a sample of water affect the time taken for the water to boil? Background: By changing the containers of the water‚ the surface area of the water is thus being modified as the same volume of water is spread out over smaller or larger surfaces. The measure being compared is the time each sample of water will take before it reaches the boiling point‚ 100 C°. The relationship
