Premium Newton's laws of motion Mass Classical mechanics
Experiment 1: Simple Harmonic Motion Dominic Stone Lab Partner: Andrew Lugliani January 9‚ 2012 Physics 132 Lab Section 13 Theory For this experiment we investigated and learned about simple harmonic motion. To do this we hung and measured different masses on a spring-mass system to calculate the force constant k. Simple harmonic motion is a special type of periodic motion. It is best described as an oscillation motion that causes an object to move back-and-forth in response to
Premium Mass Force Classical mechanics
Interpretations: 1. The time required for the objects with different masses to fall equal distances was equal. 2. The average speed of the two different masses was quite similar‚ within one tenth of a second of each other. 3. Yes‚ because physics theory says that objects free falling‚ where the only force acting on them is gravity‚ accelerate at the same rate no matter what their mass is. 4. The change in spacing of the dots tells us that the speed of the object is increased as it falls

optically denser medium with an angle of incidence equal to zero‚ there would be no refraction. When the light passes at an angle from air into an optically denser medium‚ the light (incident ray) will immediately change direction and bent towards the normal which has an angle of incidence of 0. Method: 1. The semicircular plastic block was placed on the center of the backside of a clean page in the lab book. Then‚ its outline was traced and the location of the center of the center of

Lab #1: Projectile Motion Purpose: To determine experimentally the initial and final velocities of an air powered projectile. Hypothesis: If the angle of the rocket is launched at 45 degrees than the distance and velocity will maximize. Materials: Rocket launching platform Rocket launcher Rocket body Air pump Safety goggles Rubber washer Nose cone 40‚ 45‚ 50‚ 55 and 60 angle wooden blocks Measuring wheel Procedure: 1. The rocket was assembled by the rocket launcher

The Relationship Involving Acceleration‚ Net Force‚ and Mass Giho Park Purpose The purpose of this lab investigation is to observe the relationship among the net force‚ mass‚ and acceleration of an object. Hypothesis/Prediction Part A If the net force increases with a constant mass‚ then the acceleration would increase‚ because the force would push the object to increase the velocity. Part B If the mass of the cart increases with a constant net force‚ then the acceleration would

Aim: To find the mass in grams (m) of a paperclip. Apparatus: Procedure: 1. Using a piece of string‚ the external circumference(C) of the small test tube was found and was then used to find A ‚ the cross sectional area of the small test tube A=C24π . 2. The beaker was placed under the test tube after it was clamped on the retort stand to collect excess water. The large test tube was filled with water. After which‚ the small test tube which had a fitted scale was placed inside to float
