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

Physics Lab Report#8 “Solving Problem Involving Vector Addition” Name: Fei Huo Date performed: November 12‚ 2014 Period 5 Teacher: Mr. Glasel Purpose: The purpose of this lab was to solve problems that involve the vector addition. Introduction: My classmates and I were solving the equations by graphing them and/or to solve them algebraically. Each of the equations had scales and we were to use these scales for each question in graph paper. Some if the questions didn’t need to

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

Technology Ohm’s law & resistors in parallel & in series Lab 4 Class: PHY 1434-E475 Due date: March‚ 13 20144 Group Names: Hisham Sageer Objectives: Our object is to confirm Ohm’s law by analyzing the dependence of the electrical current as a function of voltage and as a function of resistance. Also‚ we studied the current flow and voltage in series and parallel. Finally‚ the lab determined the equivalence resistance of series and parallel combination of resistors

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

Results and Discussion As there were five similar experiments done‚ there is one common observed behavior – similar charges repel and opposite charges attract. The experiment went expected as there were no unusual observations recorded. In the first part‚ it was observed that when the plastic rod was rubbed it attracted the tissue bits. The explanation with this is‚ when the plastic rod was rubbed‚ it became electrically charged. Conduction happens when the tissue paper was rubbed into the plastic
