The moment of inertia is a measure of an object’s resistance to changes in its rotation. It must be very specific to the chosen axis of rotation. Also‚ it is specific to the mass and shape of the object‚ including the way that is mass is distributed in the object. Moment of inertia is usually quantified in kgm2. An object’s where the mass is concentrated very close to the center of axis of rotation will be easier to spin than an object of identical mass with the mass concentrated far from the axis

Independent Assessment Physics Lab (SL): Cantilever Flexion Cherno Okafor Mr. Ebrahimi SPH4U7 October 21st‚ 2012 Introduction Purpose: The purpose of this Physics Lab is to investigate what factors determine the amount of flexion of the cantilever. Hence‚ the objective is to establish a relationship between the length of a cantilever‚ which may give some insight into the physics of cantilevers. Hypothesis: If one increases the length of a cantilever‚ one would expect there to be an

Conclusion The purpose of this experiment was to discover the chemical properties that copper has when reacting with other chemicals and how it changes physically during these processes. (Department of Chemistry‚ 2013) This was achieved through many types of reactions‚ such as a redox reaction‚ double displacement‚ decomposition reaction and single displacement depending on the chemical properties in relation to copper of the other substances when it was added with copper. Copper was either in an

sim=Balloons_and_Buoyancy and click on Run Now. Determine what factors make a hot air balloon or a helium balloon float Student Instructions: 1. Why does a hot air balloon float even though it is so heavy? Hot air balloons float because the buoyancy force of the hot air is more that the weight. Buoyancy occurs because the hot air has a lower density than the cooler outside air. This lower density air weighs less than the air it replaces and that difference is the buoyancy. 2. What makes balloons

In conclusion‚ after conducting the lab‚ the emergent properties of water were tested and proved. These trials and experiments were able to verify the adhesion‚ cohesion‚ polarity‚ temperature stabilization‚ solvency‚ and density changes exhibited by water. During the glass and wax paper lab‚ we observed the adhesive properties of water. When a droplet of water touched the glass‚ it dispersed immediately. The droplet placed on the wax paper remained intact and in droplet form. Also‚ when the
