Student: (Be sure to look over all your notes and be sure to know the following things) 1. Define Temperature‚ thermal energy and heat. 2. A 1.00 x 10²g mass of tungsten at 100°C is placed in 2.00 x 10²g of water at 20.0°C. The mixture reaches equilibrium at 21.6°C. Calculate the specific heat of tungsten. Cw = 4180 J/kg°C C= 171 J/kgOC 3. A certain metal has a specific heat of 400 J / kg oC. It absorbs 8000 J of thermal energy which causes its temperature to raise 10oC. How much

PHYS 221 Experiment M10 Harmonic Motion of a simple Pendulum Jacob LaMarre Group members: Josh‚ Courtney‚ Ashley Abstract: Determine the acceleration due to gravity using a pendulum. Introduction: A simple pendulum consists of a mass suspended by a length of string. When set Oscillating‚ the mass will have a period “T” given by the following equation. This equation shows the only variables that affect the rate at which the pendulum swings is the length “l” that is measured to the center

CBSE TEST PAPER-01 CLASS - XII PHYSICS (Unit – Electrostatics) [ANSWERS] FV force between the charges in vaccuum = FM force between two charges in medium FV ⇒ Fm = k ⇒ if k increases‚ Fm decreases. Ans 01. Since K= Ans 02. Suppose rod P be negatively charged since it attracts rod R ⇒ R is positively charged since it repels rod Q ⇒ Q is negatively charged. So force between Q and R is attractive in nature. Ans 03. Since F = q E and a = F/m Since charge on proton

Miriam Karunakaran Physics Honors Period 6 Physics Kinematics Lab Report Kinematics is the study of the motion of bodies without reference to mass or force. This lab aided students in observing kinematics by giving them a visual graph to look at from experiments previously performed. Variables used in this lab were “x” for position of the object‚ “v” for velocity of the object‚ and “a” for acceleration of the object. Understanding the graphical representation of

Objective: To study the conservation of energy and momentum using projectile motion. Theory: The ballistic pendulum demonstrates both the constant horizontal velocity in projectile motion and the conservation of momentum. Because there is no acceleration in the horizontal direction‚ the horizontal component (v_x) of the projectile’s velocity remains unchanged from its initial value throughout the motion. In a closed isolated system‚ if no net external force acts on a system of particles‚ the total
