high temperature but contain very little heat and vice versa (physics 312). When a hot body is mixed with the cold body‚ the hot body cools down and the cold body warms up until the mixture as a whole comes to a common temperature‚ that is‚ in thermal equilibrium. By mixing hot and cold substances and measuring the change in temperature‚ the thermal characteristics of the substance can be determined. The purpose of this experiment is to understand the difference between heat and temperature‚ and

Approximation of Planck’s constant and work function using Photoelectric effect on the particle nature of light Abstract This experiment aims to demonstrate the particle nature of light by photoelectric effect. Stopping potential was measured against different intensities of yellow (λ = 578 nm) and green (λ = 546 nm) light from first order spectral lines of mercury. No significant relationship was observed for stopping potential and percent transmission. However‚ charging

Interpretation of Results The objective of the experiment‚ entitled Newton’s Second Law of Motion‚ is to verify the direct proportionality of acceleration and net force if the mass of the body is constant and to verify the inverse proportionality of acceleration and mass if the net force is constant. It is now clearly explained and proven that Newton’s second law of motion is true. By experiments‚ the law is proved. All data produced results parallel to what Newton states. We can say that the

Experiment 3.1 Newton’s Second Law of Motion Aim: To investigate the relationship between net force‚ mass and acceleration Hypothesis: Since Newton’s second law of motion states that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the total force acting upon that object‚ we can assume that the more mass being pulled down on the cart the greater the acceleration of it will be and therefore the greater its net force will be. Apparatus: Wheeled carts Pulleys Balance

Exploring Newtons 2nd Law of motion. Background Research How does changing the mass of an object effect how far it will travel ? This question can be answered by Newtons 2nd law of motion; Force equals mass multiplied acceleration (F= ma). This law states that a force on an object will cause it to accelerate in the direction of the force. The greater the force exerted on the object‚ the greater the acceleration. But how does mass effect this ? To find out‚ an experiment will be put into place

1) A 4-kg mass moving with speed 2 m/s‚ and a 2-kg mass moving with a speed of 4 m/s‚ are gliding over a horizontal frictionless surface. Both objects encounter the same horizontal force‚ which directly opposes their motion‚ and are brought to rest by it. Which statement best describes their respective stopping distances? (A) The 4-kg mass travels twice as far as the 2-kg mass before stopping. (B) The 2-kg mass travels twice as far as the 4-kg mass before stopping. (C) Both masses travel the

Physics of a Light Bulb Catherine Bellet Lab Partners: Natalie Russell Alex Harris TA: Chad Lunceford PHY 114 TH @ 2:25pm Abstract: Ohm’s law states‚ via the equation V=I*R‚ that the voltage found across a piece of material is proportional to the current. If the temperature remains constant therefore the resistance is found to remain constant. Stefan-Boltzmann law states that when the temperature if above an average of 1000K‚ then the relationship of voltage and current should be found

rely on Earth’s gravity to get the cars down the track? Roller coasters are centered all on physics and I will hopefully teach you some things‚ big or small about them today. In this essay we will be exploring the world of roller coasters. Some of the topics we will cover will range from the history‚ to the principles that allow the cars to continue throughout the length of the track‚ and the general physics surrounding roller coasters. The history of roller coasters is a very interesting and long

MOMENTUM QUESTIONS 1. Which has greater momentum: a train at rest or a moving skateboard? Since the train is not moving‚ it has zero momentum. The skateboard‚ as long as it has some speed‚ will have more momentum‚ since p = m*v. 2. What are the ways to increase impulse? Impulse depends on the magnitude of the applied external force and the time that the force acts on the system. By increasing either of those‚ impulse on a system will be increased‚ and the system’s momentum will change accordingly

was made into 3D movie this year------the 100 anniversary of Titanic being sunk. The movie Titanic is close to the real accident happened on April 14th‚ 1912 and there’s a lot of physics involved in the movie. We have to admit that James Cameron really spent plenty of time on the causation of the accident. ① physics side note: Pressure (√) At the beginning of the movie‚ there is a group of people who want to find the invaluable “Heart of the Ocean”. They used submarine to get 3821 meters under
