    ABSTRACT: The lab of one dimensional motion is a series of experiments that deal with different types of motion in a single direction. In the first experiment‚ one dimensional motion of a small cart on an air track is measured in a one photogate system. The acceleration was calculated by the infrared light emitting electrode of the photogate sensing the slacks on the picket fence. The calculation for gravity yielded 9.63 m/s^2‚ which is consistent with the accepted value of 9.8m/s^2. In the

    Grade 11 physics: SPH3U1-01 | Physics Lab Report | Specific Heat Capacity of Brass | | Jin Jin Shi | 2012/12/6 | Instructor: Mr. Nailer | I. Introduction The amount of heat required to raise the temperature of a solid body depends on its change in temperature (ΔT)‚ its mass (m)‚ and an intrinsic characteristic of the material forming the body called specific heat (cp). The heat is calculated from the equation II. Purpose The purpose of this laboratory is to determine

    April 29‚ 2014 Abstract The objective project was to use our knowledge of physic properties to create a working car that was powered by a mouse trap. I found that the lighter the car was and the more traction the car had‚ the further it travelled. Introduction The purpose of this project was to create a car that is powered by a mouse trap. We were to use our knowledge of physics laws to make the best car we can. I knew from Newton’s Law‚ F=ma‚ that if my car had a lower

    The lesson is divided into 3 labs that can be completed in any order. After labs have been completed‚ facilitate a class discussion where students summarize and compare findings and relate how their findings support (or refute) Newton’s Laws of Motion LAB 1: How fast can it go? Put one car at the top of the ramp and let it roll down. Use a stopwatch to record the time the car rolled. Use this information to calculate the acceleration of the car. Measure the distance the car rolled using the

    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 surroundings. Therefore

    Introduction The purpose of this lab is to examine the motion of an electron‚ when it encounters a constant magnetic and electric field. We will also observe when the electric field and magnetic field will cancel each other out. This will lead to the electron having no net force acting upon it. By adjusting the values for the magnetic and electric fields‚ we will be able to check the different paths the electron follows. From this data we will be able to calculate the charge-to-mass ratio. Then
