Moment of Inertia and Rotational Motion Garret Hebert PHY 2311 Tues 1:00 garret.hebert@hindscc.edu Abstract: During this lab we will study what rotational Inertia is and how different shapes of masses and different masses behave inertially when compared to each other. We will specifically study the differences of inertia between a disk and a ring. We will use increasing forces to induce angular acceleration of both a disk and a ring of a certain mass. We will then then measure the differences

Period 1 10/14/12 Enzyme lab Enzymes are biological catalysts that speed up the process of chemical reactions. They are also proteins‚ and most enzymes activities occur within organism. They decrease activation energy‚ energy that is needed to start a chemical reaction. Enzymes are substrate specific substrates ending in "-ase"‚ enzymes ending in "-ase". External factors‚ such as temperature‚ pH‚ and concentration of the substrate‚ affect the enzymes activity in the lab‚ pectase and cellulase will

Calculating OCF. Hammett‚ Inc.‚ has sales of $34‚630‚ costs of $10‚340‚ depreciation expense of $2‚520‚ and interest expense of $1‚750. If the tax rate is 35 percent‚ what is the operating cash flow‚ or OCF? Operating cash flow $ 17283 Calculations: Sales - Cost - Depreciation = EBIT(Earnings Before Interest Taxes –Depreciation Amortization) 34630 - 10340 - 2520 = 21770 EBIT - Interest = Taxable Income 21770 - 1750 = 20020 Taxes (35%) = 20020 x .35 = 7007 Net income: 20020 - 7007 = 13013 EBIT

Introduction Chemical kinetics is the study of reaction rates. A reaction rate is the speed of the change in either reactants or products over a period of time. General kinetic rate equation is: Where [A] and [B] are the concentration of the species in the reaction. The variable k is the rate constant‚ which is a function of time and catalyst presence. The variables m and n are the order of reaction for their respective species concentration. The higher the value of the reaction order the
