Experiment 9: THE TANGENT GALVANOMETER; PURPOSE: In this experiment we will measure the magnitude of the horizontal component of the Earth’s Magnetic field by the use of an instrument called a tangent galvanometer. INTRODUCTION: A tangent galvanometer consists of a number of turns of copper wire wound on a hoop. At the center of the hoop a compass is mounted. When a direct current flows through the wires‚ a magnetic field is induced in the space surrounding the loops of

Speed of Sound in Air By: James Chen Lab Partner: Jin Zhang and Jake Salpeter Phys 130‚ Lab section: EE11 TA: Khaled Elshamouty Date of lab: October 29‚ 2013 Introduction Sound is a longitudinal (compressional) wave caused by a vibrating source. In this experiment‚ we use standing sound waves created by the tuning forks to determine the speed of sound in air in a tube when it reaches different resonances. In this lab we focused primarily on using standing sound waves (compressional

The Physics of Star Trek – Warp Speed “Engage.” One simple command that triggers an entire series of complex reactions deep in the core and within the warp nacelles of the Starship Enterprise. Engage implied not only a command to fly off into the unknown reaches of space‚ but also a revolution of thinking that combined fundamental physics with the innovative ideas of the future. Warp technology‚ as envisioned by the writers of Star Trek‚ can be linked to today’s world of physics: Newton’s third

Experiment 5: Relative Density Patrick Erlo Reyes‚ Joseph Winfred Sajul‚ La Reyna Roshele Salenga‚ Luisito Jeremiah Samonte‚ Christine Bernadette Sanchez Department of Biology College of Science‚ University of Santo Tomas España‚ Manila‚ Philippines Abstract This experiment is concerned with the densities of objects. The first activity is determining the density of a cylinder through displacement method and by weighing. The second activity is finding the density of a bone and determining it whether

the same. This means that the velocity is not constant. 4) Now move the ball at a slow constant speed across the screen. What do you notice now about the vectors? Explain why this happens. While moving the ball at a slow constant speed across the screen‚ I noticed that the velocity is constant. This happened because there was no acceleration. It was just a very constant slow speed. 5) What happens to the vectors when you jerk the ball rapidly back and forth across the screen? Explain
