Thiscontainer could be displaced vertically in order to change the water level. We would thenmake a tuning fork vibrate above the pipe and change the water level until the resonance wasat maximum intensity.Hypothesis: The

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#3 “Determining the period of a pendulum” Name: Fei Huo Date performed: October 1st‚ 2014 Period 5 Teacher: Mr. Glasel Purpose: The Purpose of this Lab was so that my classmates and I can examine what kind of factors affect the period of a pendulum. Introduction: In a simple form‚ the pendulum is a weight hung from a long string that Galileo discovered that it can be used to track the passage of time very accurately around 400 years ago. In this

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

Impulse and Momentum Lab Part I: As the first lab of the Physics 2 curriculum‚ our class completed a lab experiment that introduced us students to a new concept that would be a foundation to the future topics that we learn in this class. In this lab activity‚ we used a lab cart on a flat track to compare the collision of the cart with a force sensor with and without the plunger during different trials. The materials that we would need for this activity are a lab cart on a flat track‚ a timer

Lab II‚ Problem 3: Projectile Motion and Velocity Oct. 06‚ 2013 Physics 1301W‚ Professor: Hanany‚ TA: Vladimir Abstract A ball is tossed obliquely. The vectors of position and velocity are measured. The acceleration is calculated. Introduction A toy company is now making an instructional videotape on how to predict the position. Therefore‚ in order to make the prediction accurate‚ how the horizontal and vertical components of a ball’s position as it flies through the air should

Kathryn Marchessault Physics Lab LR Tuesday 8-9:55 Due 02/26/15 Experiment #1 Free Fall Experiment Abstract In this experiment we studied the motion of an object in free fall‚ that is an object being dropped from a certain height to Earth’s surface. In this experiment we tested the idea that no matter what the size‚ shape‚ color‚ etc. of the object if it would still experience the same constant acceleration throughout its fall (short distance). The constant downward acceleration it experiences

PHY 114 Faraday’s Law of Induction Stephanie Scott Section: 10849 Group #3 Bochao Li 3/31/15 Abstract: The objective of the Faraday’s Law of Induction lab was to verify Faraday’s law of induction by measuring the emf generated in a small coil and comparing it with the calculated value. Secondly the goal was to investigate the relationship between the emf and the frequency of the driving signal. The magnetic field was found to be uniform throughout. For the frequency of 40 Hz‚ the average

Abstract :The purpose of the experiment is to explore elastic and inelastic collisions in order to study the conservation of momentum and energy. The guided track‚ carts‚ photogates ‚ 250 g weight and picket fences were the primary components used in the procedural part of the experiment. Each experiment involved the use of the photogates and picket fences to measure the initial and final velocities of both carts when they collide. The data was collected and translated to a graphical model for further
