I. Temperature Measurement 1. A thermometric property is a physical property that changes in a known way with temperature‚ and can therefore be used to measure temperature. The substance used as a thermometer must have a property that varies proportionally / linearly with temperature. [ In other words: When objects are heated or cooled‚ their temperatures change‚ along with some of their properties‚ these properties are known as Thermometric Properties.] Two commonly used thermometric properties

LAB WRITE-UP NAME: Gabriel-Ohanu Emmanuel PARTNER: Baptiste Gilman TITLE: Graph Matching PURPOSE: The purpose of the experiment was to analyze the motion of a student walking along a straight line in front of the motion detector moving back and forward with different speed trying to match the graph provided. To also understand and interpret graphs of distance vs time and velocity vs time. To also know what the slopes of the each graph represent which tells how far the student travelled

surface‚ accelerating because of an unbalanced force. The rate at which an object travels down the slope is dependent upon how tilted the slope is; the greater the tilt of the plane‚ the faster the rate which an object will slide down. Thus‚ if a physics cart is released on at a steep slope‚ the acceleration of the cart is expected to roll down the slope at a faster rate. As shown in figure 1‚ when a cart is released on an inclined plane‚ there’s always two to four forces acting upon the cart – the

Madeline Totten Dr. Su Phy 110 Lab 18 September 2013 Lab 2: Introduction to DataStudio Purpose: The purpose of this lab is to practice designing an experiment by choosing the variables‚ using DataStudio to collect the data from the experiment‚ and then taking our data and presenting it and our results in a report. Method: For this experiment‚ the goal was to use a simple pendulum (shown to the left) to measure the period of the motion. For task 1‚ we just became familiar with DataStudio

Sam Preusser Mr. Staude U.S. History 25 April 2013 Truman Doctrine VS. Marshall Plan The years after the war brought times of disagreement and argument. The United States worked at this time to contain and control the spread of communism. During the years of WWII and the Cold War this idea was prominent and an issue America thought must be solved. Their were two strong attempts to fight communism. These attempts were the Truman Doctrine and the Marshall Plan. These ideas go hand in hand making

Determining a Person’s Power through height/work Power is denoted by the formula‚ P = mgh/t. In lifting a bag‚ work is done. So in order to get power we recorded our weight‚ measured the weight of the bag‚ and the time it took to lift a bag. The experiment is done in two ways 1) with constant time and 2) with constant height. In this way‚ we can compare and know if there will be a difference in the amount of power exerted by a person if either time or height will be constant. The formulated

the America‚ it doesn’t matter how rich or poor people are‚ there is one product that any household has to have at least one. It is a car. In fact‚ cars have played an extremely important role in American society. A car wasn’t invented like other machinery‚ but it was the accumulation of many levels of invention and a combination of many scientific discoveries. Cars’ origin was in Europe by the French and the German and Paris and named by the Paris Academy of Sciences. But automobile industry brilliantly
