Lab: Electrostatic Coulomb Constant Rylee Rose Date: 1/28/13 Abstract: This experiment was done to study electrostatic and Coulomb’s law. Objective: The objective was to demonstrate the veracity of Coulomb’s Law. This was done by observing different equilibrium conditions of two pith balls that were equally charged. They were then constructed into a pendulum using strings. Calculations were done to determine the charge on pith balls‚ calculate the mass of the pith balls and to calculate

molecules (or atoms) in a gas are separated by large distances and are in constant‚ random motion. When dealing with gases‚ the Ideal Gas Law equation is the most famous equation used to relate all the factors in dealing and solving the problem. The four factors or variables for gas are: pressure (P)‚ volume (V)‚ number of mole of gas (n)‚ and temperature (T)‚ and the constant in the equation is R‚ known as the gas constant. The Ideal Gas law equation which is pV=nRT is obtained by combining the

Report: Calculating the Spring Constant and Verifying that Energy is Conserved Within a System Abstract: An experiment was conducted to determine the spring constant of a spring in the cart by measuring the force required to compress a spring as well as the distance the spring compressed relative to the equilibrium position. A cart was placed onto a slanted track and speed and force censors were used to record appropriate data. The spring constant was determined by substituting

Determination of an Equilibrium Constant Abstract: In this experiment‚ two reactions were run to determine the molar absorptivity and the equilibrium constant of FeSCN2+. The main principles used in this lab are equilibrium‚ LeChatlier’s Principle‚ Beer’s Law and Spectrocopy. The first reaction was run to completion using LeChatier’s Principle and the second reaction was run to equilibrium. A spectrophotometer was used to measure absorbances. Using a graph of absorbance versus concentration

As a student athlete head injuries are relevant to me because I have experienced this type of injury. After researching the topic of head injuries in athletics‚ I came across three articles that stood out to me. In the article “Sports Medicine and School Nurses: A Growing Need for Further

take out a player that had a head trauma that could be a small ding to the head? If all coaches and trainers take out and check athletes that have any type of hits to their head even when they said they are fine and don’t show any signs of head trauma how that could’ve decrease deaths or long term injuries from head trauma. But how things should be or could be‚ as why don’t all schools give a test to all athletes to compare in case of head trauma? If they give this test like they do in the video as

Some say that the idea of love in modern terms differs conceptually from that of earlier periods. That argument is demonstrably false. Although love has been characterized in many different ways throughout the ages‚ the fundamental idea remains constant. No matter the eccentric personalities love is entitled to‚ love is what it is. From a literary point of view‚ whether one reads the tender longing of Sappho‚ the unattainable desire of Petrarch‚ or the whimsical prose of Dickenson‚ the message

Determination of the Rate Constant for a Chemical Reaction Department of Chemistry Abstract This experiment was performed to determine the rate constant k‚ for hydrolysis of tertiary butyl chloride to tertiary butanol. The solvent system for this reaction is 45% isopropyl alcohol and 55% water. The rate of hydrolysis of t-butyl chloride is measured by the decrease in the concentration of this reagent with time. The rate of decomposition of t-butyl chloride must be equal to the rate of formation

Calugay______ An experiment to obtain and compare the spring constants of 3 strings (soft‚ medium‚ and hard) obtained in 2 ways (using the energy chapter and the dynamics chapter)‚ to confirm that Hooke’s Law is valid over a range of initial displacements‚ and to find the acceleration due to gravity on unknown Planet X. Problem: What are the spring constants of 3 strings (soft‚ medium‚ and hard) and how do they compare? Theory: To find the spring constants of each string‚ we can calculate the velocity that
