6th hour 4/1/13 Tennis ball and racket ball comparison Problem: Find the speed of the tennis ball and the racket ball to determine which one travels faster. Hypothesis: I believe that the racket ball will have a faster average speed than the tennis ball for both distances because the racket ball is bouncy. Materials: *Tennis ball *30yards of space *Racket ball *Set of stairs *Stop watch *measuring tape Procedures: 1) Measure out 30 yards of space‚ have of member stand

Chapter one of Healing at the Speed of Sound‚ by Don Campbell and Alex Doman‚ brings up some interesting ideas for the reader. Whether you believe them or not‚ it is important to evaluate and discuss their ideas expressed. The first interesting idea brought to my attention is an idea I would say I was subconsciously aware of‚ but never fully incorporated into my everyday life. Campbell and Doman express that the sounds you hear affects your mood‚ energy and others aspect of your life. They go on

Measuring the Speed of Sound (Moving Tube) KEY Purpose: To measure the speed of sound in air using a variable length column of air. Apparatus: resonance-tube apparatus (an open ended tube which can be moved in and out of a container of water) constant frequency source (tuning fork or computer generated tone) rubber hammer meter stick rubber stopper Procedure: 1. Set Up the Experiment: Place the open ended tube into the water‚ and verify that it can produce a resonance tube

Speed and Radius Question For an object moving with uniform circular motion‚ what relationship exists between the radius of its path and its speed? Hypothesis If the radius is increased‚ I believe that the speed will decrease‚ giving speed and its radius an inverse relation. Variables The variables in this lab are the radius of the circular path‚ mass of the rubber stopper‚ mass of the hanging weight‚ number of revolutions‚ elapsed time‚ period‚ and speed.

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

Mastery Mastery by George Leonard is a book that deals with the key terms and concepts anyone must know to truly master any skill. The book gives us four different types of students‚ each different in there learning method and in their achieved skill level. It also gives us the five steps to mastering any skill. The four different types of learners‚ the dabbler‚ the obsessive‚ the hacker‚ and the master. Each learner has their own techniques of learning the same skills. The dabbler learns one skill

" Factors affecting the speed of sound in a medium" Type of the medium- The speed of sound is not always the same. Remember that sound is a vibration of kinetic energy passed from molecule to molecule. The closer the molecules are to each other and the tighter their bonds‚ the less time it takes for them to pass the sound to each other and the faster sound can travel. It is easier for sound waves to go through solids than through liquids because the molecules are closer together and more tightly

Considering how stressful college is‚ the text Mindfulness and Mastery in the Workplace: 21 Ways to Reduce Stress in During the Workday is very applicable to my life. I thought that the tips for reducing stress were all useful in keeping yourself from over-stressing‚ particularly the tip about driving a bit slower. The tip states that a person should drive in the right lane going around five miles below the speed limit. The way I interpreted this was less about the physical act of driving a car and
