Lab #1: Projectile Motion Purpose: To determine experimentally the initial and final velocities of an air powered projectile. Hypothesis: If the angle of the rocket is launched at 45 degrees than the distance and velocity will maximize. Materials: Rocket launching platform Rocket launcher Rocket body Air pump Safety goggles Rubber washer Nose cone 40‚ 45‚ 50‚ 55 and 60 angle wooden blocks Measuring wheel Procedure: 1. The rocket was assembled by the rocket launcher

The Relationship Involving Acceleration‚ Net Force‚ and Mass Giho Park Purpose The purpose of this lab investigation is to observe the relationship among the net force‚ mass‚ and acceleration of an object. Hypothesis/Prediction Part A If the net force increases with a constant mass‚ then the acceleration would increase‚ because the force would push the object to increase the velocity. Part B If the mass of the cart increases with a constant net force‚ then the acceleration would

potential energy subsequently there is a gain in kinetic energy. The equation PE = m x g x h supports the fact that as height increases (keeping the mass constant) the energy stored‚ that is‚ the potential energy increases. So when the ball is released the energy stored inside the ball would get converted to kinetic energy of motion which collides with the clay slab resulting in a crater. Thus increasing the height increases the energy stored in the ball and so when dropped‚ more of the energy would

Aim: To find the mass in grams (m) of a paperclip. Apparatus: Procedure: 1. Using a piece of string‚ the external circumference(C) of the small test tube was found and was then used to find A ‚ the cross sectional area of the small test tube A=C24π . 2. The beaker was placed under the test tube after it was clamped on the retort stand to collect excess water. The large test tube was filled with water. After which‚ the small test tube which had a fitted scale was placed inside to float

amount of energy necessary to produce a temperature change of 1°C per gram of substance. The specific heats of different substances vary‚ and therefore this quantity may be useful in identifying an unknown. The measurement of heat changes is called calorimetry. In this lab activity‚ calorimetry will be used to determine the specific heat of an unknown metal. This will be done by using a styrofoam cup calorimeter containing water. A calorimeter is insulated so as to minimize any loss of energy to the

Science in the Big City: Exploring Career Opportunities in the Natural and Physical Sciences New York City May 13-18‚ 2014 Students in the Natural Sciences at the University of Houston-Downtown are generally accomplished and motivated students with strong interests in science. However‚ students typically have a very limited perception of the science careers available to them outside of medicine. To educate students as to the array of potential careers available in the sciences (not medicine)
