Marybeth Brooks Physics Lab III Specific Heat Capacity Lab May 25‚ 2011 Abstract The specific heat capacity of various metals can be calculated and compared to accepted literature values. Dropping heated metal samples into a calorimeter filled with water and then measuring the change in the temperature of the system accomplished this. The metal samples were heated in a boiling water bath and were assumed to be at 100 C when they were removed. It was added to a calorimeter and stirrer

Don’t Fit In‚ Stand Out Have you ever tried to be so perfect at something and it ended up going all wrong? I have. In the essay “So What’s So Bad About Being So-So?” by Lisa Wilson Strick (205-207) she makes the point that being perfect doesn’t always turn out the way you hope. I completely concur with her. Perfection can often be a wonderful thing‚ but for me‚ perfection caused me to have a very low confidence and so it became a vice in my life. Rather then being myself‚ I was too concerned

lead. There were several possible sources of error that could be found throughout the lab. Some of the main errors as seen in question 7 that could have affected the results of the lab were the amount of water transferred with the hot metal‚ the metal cooling off as it was transferred from the calorimeter‚ the calorimeter lost heat to the surroundings as it was stirred because the lid was removed. The amount of water transferred with the hot metal wouldn’t effect the specific heat capacity

mind when thinking about the new laws that have been passed against pit bulls. After years of discrimination of people‚ we are now discriminating against breeds of dogs. Even though aggressive dogs tend to bite more‚ I am against the idea of breed specific legislation because it is not the breed of the dog but how it is trained. There are many advocates for BSLs‚ including the leader of PETA (people for the ethical treatment of animals). This is an excerpt from the leader of PETA‚ Ingrid Newkirk‚

A solution they used to stop with the destruction of the landslides is building a bridge. The bridge that they built is used to go over Devil’s Slide so nothing will be in harm’s way when it does happen. 3) Wetland 4) Five creeks near the college are
