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

Robert Pittman 1/26/2012 Physics Circular motion creating artificial gravity Artificial gravity is a must have for any and every space station‚ if the human is living there for a long period of time. If there isn’t any artificial gravity present then the human body is extremely stunned which forces all the biological functions to break down. Astronauts that are in orbit for a long period of time tend to show major decreases in their bone strength‚ muscular tone‚ and also

The Effects of Population Density and Noise Paper Psy/460 The Effects of Population Density and Noise Paper Introduction There are quite a few people who believe that territoriality‚ privacy‚ and personal space mean the same thing‚ but that is not the case. As noted in this paper‚ they are completely different things. The author of this paper will describe the concepts of territoriality‚ privacy‚ and personal space; examine how these concepts have become increasingly important as populations

Expirement 1 Fluid Properties: Density and Surface Tension Table of Contents: OBJECTIVE 1 THEORY 2-3 PROCEDURE 4-6 RESULTS 7-8 DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION 9 APPENDIX 10 OBJECT: The object of this experiment was to determine the density of a fluid by performing three different methods and use that determined density to calculate the surface tension of the fluid. THEORY: The density of any substance is defined as the mass per unit volume and is denoted by ρ. ρ = m / V (1) m is the mass

Density Matters: The Effects of Urban Growth Boundaries on Florida Urban Densities Prepared by Submitted to ___ Executive Summary Urban growth boundaries (UGB) are a growth management tool adopted from early English land use traditions to categorize land use. UGB’s are boundaries that clearly delineate the limit of the urban density growth permitted and supported by the issuing municipality. Florida instituted the Growth Management Act in 1985‚ mandating local comprehensive

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‚

of the many questions people wonder is‚ why gravity differs on different planets and moons. In order to understand the answer of this question‚ one must know what gravity is. Gravity is the force of nature that attracts one body towards the center of the Earth‚ or any other physical body that has any kind of mass. Gravity is also in charge of the interactions that occur between particles and collections of matter‚ like the stars and the planets. Gravity depends on two different things‚ the masses

Physics 211 Experiment 1: Free Fall - Determining the acceleration of gravity Prior to Lab: Derive the numbered equations (Equations 1‚ 2 and 3) in the lab instructions using the definitions of velocity and acceleration (a=dv/dt and v=dy/dt). Object: The object of this experiment is to determine the value of the acceleration of gravity by measuring the rate of acceleration of a freely falling object. In addition‚ one will be able to compare theory with experiment for constantly accelerated

The Gravity Probe B Launch Decision – Case Study Gravity Probe B (GP-B) was a satellite based mission funded by NASA. Efforts were led by the Stanford University physics department and Lockheed Martin‚ Stanford University being the primary contractor and Lockheed Martin as the subcontractor. Rex Geveden‚ the Deputy Center Director at Marshall Space Flight Center‚ was the Program Manager at NASA and the primary leader of the GP-B launch mission. The mission objective was to test two of the predictions
