Physics 211 Experiment 1: Free Fall - Determining the acceleration of gravity Prior to Lab: Derive the numbered equations (Equations 1‚ 2 and 3) in the lab instructions using the definitions of velocity and acceleration (a=dv/dt and v=dy/dt). Object: The object of this experiment is to determine the value of the acceleration of gravity by measuring the rate of acceleration of a freely falling object. In addition‚ one will be able to compare theory with experiment for constantly accelerated

Abstract: In this investigation‚ a mass was attached to a string and was swung horizontally for certain number of rotations (ten). The sole goal for this investigation was to find and verify the relationships between Centripetal Force‚ Frequency and Radius of circular path. In order to get relationships between the variables mentioned above‚ this experiment was divided into two parts. In Experiment A‚ the radius of the path (length of the string)‚ along with the mass was kept constant‚ and the relation

Acceleration from Gravity on an Incline I. Introduction: Acceleration is the rate of change of the velocity of a moving body. Galileo was the first person to actually experiment and examine the concept of acceleration back in the seventeenth century. Acceleration can be determined by calculating the gravity and an incline. An incline is slope that is deviated between horizontal and vertical positions. Gravity is the natural force of attraction towards the center of the earth. Because of this

SPECIFIC GRAVITY BY DENSITY BOTTLE AIM OF THE EXPERIMENT:- To determine the Specific Gravity of soil a particle passing through 4.75 mm IS sieve using Density bottle. APPARATUS REQUIRED:- i. Density bottle of 100 mm capacity. ii. Desiccators. iii. Balance with sensitivity of 0.01 gm. THEORY:- Specific Gravity is the ratio of the mass in air of given volume of dry soil solids to the mass of equal volume of distilled water at 4 o C. Or ratio of unit weight of soil

Ball Drop Lab 2 Name Date Objective to determine the acceleration of gravity for falling objects to prove that this acceleration is the same for all objects regardless of their mass Apparatus objects to drop‚ stopwatch‚ meter stick‚ Pasco motion sensor Procedure Each group will get 1 object record the balls mass Using a meter stick measure a height (distance) that you are going to drop your ball. Making sure that your initial velocity of the ball is 0 m/s‚ drop the ball and measure (using

Gravity is the force that keeps objects close to the earth Not only does gravity keep objects close to the earth it also keeps the solar system revolving the sun Gravity was discovered by Isaac Newton Acceleration of objects that is due to gravity on Earth is 9.8 m/s Also‚ according to Mr. Newton’s First Law‚ once the egg was moving‚ it didn’t want to stop. The container of water interrupted the egg’s fall‚ providing a safe place for the egg to stop moving so you could recover it unbroken

MWH French and Haitian Revolution Comparison Essay In the French Revolution‚ 1789 and the Haitian Revolution‚ 1791‚ the people wanted more rights and equalities. France wanted to gain independence from Britain and equality for nobles. Haiti wanted to gain independence from France and black landowners wanted equal rights. The main reason for these revolutions was the fight for rights and equality. One similar cause between the French and Haitian was their hunger for rights and equality. The

the acceleration due to gravity (or g) is approximately 9.8m/s2 [down] or -9.8m/s2 [up]. What we are trying to do is design an experiment to measure and confirm this value. Our plan was to drop an object from a reasonable height and use a ticker tape timer to measure the amount of time and distance travelled between each time. The weight of the object used would have to be heavy enough that it would not be affected by air resistance. For example‚ you shouldn’t use a piece of paper because due to

in Lesson 1 is acceleration. An often confused quantity‚ acceleration has a meaning much different than the meaning associated with it by sports announcers and other individuals. The definition of acceleration is: Acceleration is a vector quantity that is defined as the rate at which an object changes its velocity. An object is accelerating if it is changing its velocity. Sports announcers will occasionally say that a person is accelerating if he/she is moving fast. Yet acceleration has nothing to
