2. LINEAR MOTION In this experiment you will study the motion of an object in one dimension from a number of points of view. You will demonstrate how the variables of motion are related by differentiation and integration and investigate the relationship between potential and kinetic energy. Theory Why Study Motion? Motion is everywhere in the universe. Only at a temperature of absolute zero is the motion in any body truly absent. If motion exists then so also does energy. To the delight of

The purpose of this lab was to learn about Newton’s laws of motion by completing an experiment‚ to see how the forces act on objects. The independent variable of this experiment is the type and amount of materials used for the interior of the vehicle (out of the material list) and how they were used. The dependent variable is how and if the interior of the vehicle protected the egg from getting cracked. The controlled variables of this experiment were the height that the vehicle was dropped from

AP Physics C - Homework Two Dimensional Motion 1. A particle moves along the parabola with equation Y = ½x2 shown below. a. Suppose the particle moves so that the x-component of its velocity has the constant value vx = C; that is‚ x = Ct i. On the diagram above‚ indicate the directions of the particle’s velocity vector v and acceleration vector a at point R‚ and label each vector. ii. Determine the y-component of the particle’s velocity as a function of x. iii. Determine

The Physics 500 Introduction: The purpose of this lab is to show how to calculate the average speed and acceleration in six different races. In order to find average speed you will need to use the formula s=d/t (s= speed‚ d=distance‚ t=time). On the other hand‚ for accelaration you will use the formula a= vf-vi/t (a=acceleration‚ vf=final velocity‚ vi= initial velocity‚ t=time). Average speed is how fast something is moving; the path distanced moved per time. Acceleration is the

Samantha Mackey 13. 2nd hour PHYSICS LAB REPORT: SPEED OF SOUND Purpose: In this lab‚ we will be doing 3 major things: 1) Collecting and organizing data to obtain resonant points in a closed pipe‚ 2) measure the length of a closed-pipe resonator‚ and 3) analyze the data to determine the speed of sound. Procedure: 1. Fill the graduated cylinder nearly to the top with water‚ with a tall glass tube open at both ends (the water level with act as the closed end). 2. Determine

Damped Harmonic Motion Erica Partner: Steven November 8‚ 2012 Abstract During this experiment‚ the effects that the size of an object had on air resistance were observed and determined. To do this‚ a spring was set up with a circular object hanging at the end. After the spring constant of 9.0312 N/m was measured‚ equations were used to determine a calculated frequency‚ that being 7.252 Hz. Four trials—each with a different sized‚ same massed object—took place where the object was pulled

Spokane‚ Washington. Viney and Fenton (1998) defined the term electrophoresis as‚ “the migration of charged particles through a static medium under the action of an applied electric field (p. 576). Just from this definition‚ it is clear that numerous physics concepts can be used to help explain why electrophoresis works. First‚ I will discuss charge and electric fields and how these principles are utilized in gel electrophoresis. This will be followed by a

Pendulum Raiyan Hassan SPH3U September 20‚ 2011 Introduction A pendulum is a device which consists of a mass attached to a string from a frictionless pivot which allows it to swing back and forth. In this experiment‚ the time it takes for a pendulum to go through a period is going to be measured. The time it takes for a pendulum to go through one period can depend on factors such as the length of the string‚ mass‚ or the degree in which the pendulum is released from (amplitude). In this

Materials/Apparatus: One ticker timer One carbon paper disc One 1.5+ meter tape One test tape One stop-watch Theory: The recording timer is a device that helps you study motion‚ it is a simple electric device plugged into mains power‚ with a stylus that vibrates up and down. The stylus hits a tape that can be drawn through leads‚ and presses it onto the carbon disc below. This leaves a dot on the tape for every hit. The
