Design Rationale It is known that the acceleration due to gravity (or g) is approximately 9.8m/s2 [down] or -9.8m/s2 [up]. What we are trying to do is design an experiment to measure and confirm this value. Our plan was to drop an object from a reasonable height and use a ticker tape timer to measure the amount of time and distance travelled between each time. The weight of the object used would have to be heavy enough that it would not be affected by air resistance. For example‚ you shouldn’t use

CHM1032L pre/post lab instructions Preparation is a key to success in this lab. For this reason‚ you are required to thoroughly read through the experiment information presented in the lab manual‚ and complete a pre-lab for each experiment you do. The prelab must be completed prior to the day of the experiment. Each Friday I will ask to see your completed prelab before I allow you to enter the lab. If you have not finished the pre-lab‚ I will not allow you to enter the lab and you will receive

Determining the Acceleration Due to Gravity with a Simple Pendulum Quintin T. Nethercott and M. Evelynn Walton Department of Physics‚ University of Utah‚ Salt Lake City‚ 84112‚ UT‚ USA (Dated: March 6‚ 2013) Using a simple pendulum the acceleration due to gravity in Salt Lake City‚ Utah‚ USA was found to be (9.8 +/- .1) m/s2 . The model was constructed with the square of the period of oscillations in the small angle approximation being proportional to the length of the pendulum. The model was supported

2014 Period 4 Lab #1: Density Determinations for Solutions Theory: The density of a sample of matter is very useful when trying to find the identity of an unknown substance. The units of density are quoted in (g/mL) for liquid samples of matter. For that reason if the volume is known of a liquid‚ determining its density is easily determined by weighing it accurately. Density can also be used as a tool for finding the concentration of solutions in some cases. The density is different in a

Research: The word density means the degree of compactness of a substance. There is density in everything in your everyday life (matter.)The formula to find density is d=m/v.The density of solids and liquids is usually stated as g/cm3‚ while gases are usually stated as kg/m3. A real life example of density would be that ice floats on water because it is less dense than water‚ or it sinks because it is more dense than water. The only substance that breaks this rule is ice. Archimedes was

November 20‚ 2013 Lab Report 1. Problem: To find the density of a Hershey chocolate bar. 2. Hypothesis: I think the chocolate bar will gradually decrease in density as it gets smaller. 3: Materials: 1 whole Hershey chocolate bar‚ ruler‚ triple balance beam‚ tray‚ calculator. 4. Procedure: First‚ find the mass‚ volume‚ and density of an entire Hershey Bar. Then‚ systematically‚ break off one section at a time to calculate the mass‚ volume‚ and density for 3/4‚ 1/2‚ and 1/4 of the

Experimental Conditions Testing Reactions to Gravity‚ Light and Food Jacob Kluth and Kelsey Jankowski Introduction This lab has introduced the use of daphnia‚ pill bugs‚ amoeba and Uglena. We the AP Biology students were first introduced to the test subjects to test his or her capability of handling living organisms for upcoming science experiments. The AP Biology students were asked to create original experiments for all test subjects testing reactions to gravity‚ light intensity and reaction to food

Center of Gravity The point in a body or system of bodies at which the whole mass may be considered as concentrated. When an object’s weight is distributed uniformly‚ the center of gravity lies at its geometrical center. For irregular shaped objects‚ the center of gravity is near to the concentration of its mass. Equation: Where: X= center of gravity xi= distance of the objects from fulcrum or arbitrary axis mi= mass of the object Sample Problems 1.) Suppose your lab partner has

experiment was conducted in groups of four‚ and was supervised by lecturer Mr. Mohd Azahari Johan. Conducting this experiment is for fulfilling the requirements of Applied Mechanics Lab (MEC 424). A pendulum is defined as body so suspended from a fixed point as to swing freely to and from by the alternate action of gravity and momentum. It is used to regulate the movements of clockwork and other machinery. Therefore‚ a compound pendulum is a pendulum consisting of an actual object allowed to rotate
