DP Physics IA Thermal physics: Specific Heat Capacity of Metals Introduction: In this experiment we are going to measure the specific heat capacity of a unknown metal. To measure the specific heat capacity we will heat up the metal to certain temperature and release the metal in beaker filled with water. By knowing the mass and temperature of water filled in beaker‚ we will be able to calculate the specific capacity of unknown metal by change in temperature of beaker willed

variable represents the length of the string and the dependent variable represents the period of one oscillation. The control variable is the mass of the pendulum. In this lab our goal was to see if we can prove if the acceleration due to gravity is 9.8m/s2. The R2 in this lab is closed to 9.8 m/s2 . The formula that we used in this lab is T=2πLg and then we solved for g=L(T2π)2. HYPOTHESIS: The gravity will be 9.81 m/s2 at sea level due to the acceleration. PROCEDURE: Materials: stopwatch‚ meter

through which it swings. Another factor involved in the period of motion is‚ the acceleration due to gravity (g)‚ which on the earth is 9.8 m/s2. It follows then that a long pendulum has a greater period than a shorter pendulum. Before coming to lab‚ you should visit the following web site: http://www.myphysicslab.com/pendulum1.html This simulation shows a simple pendulum operating under gravity. For small oscillations the pendulum is linear‚ but it is non-linear for larger oscillations. You can

location of the elements in the diffraction grating that produced them. Conversely‚ if we know the structure of the grating‚ we can deduce properties about the incident light‚ in particular its wavelength. This will be our task‚ in this first optics lab exercise. The analysis of diffraction patterns is used extensively in the sciences to provide information about the microscopic structure of molecules‚ atoms‚ and nuclei. In addition to various forms of light (gamma rays‚ x-rays‚ visible light‚ infra-red

In 1986‚ August Wilson published the play Fences which exhibits the life of an African American family during segregation. The protagonist of the play is the father of three children; all from separate women‚ Troy Maxson. Wilson uses the title of the play to create a metaphor in the play‚ which is symbolic. Throughout the play the characters build “fences” to create boundaries‚ provide safety‚ and give a meaning to family. Rose‚ Troy’s wife‚ builds fences to protect her own vulnerability through her
