Measurement of the distance‚ the thickness and the radius of curvature Purpose : To learn how to use vernier caliper‚ micrometer and spherometer to measure internal and external diameters of a pipe‚the thickness of a copper rods‚ and the radius of curvature of spherical lenses. 1) Vernier caliper: As shown in Fig. 1 the main fixed scale in the vernier caliper has 1 mm gradations while th sliding scale (vernier scale) has 0.05 mm gradations. The smallest division of vernier scale is called

Height of Ball Drop v/s The Depth of the Crater | By Tejas Shah‚ IBDP Year 1 | | | | | | | * Aim- To find the relationship between the depth of crater and the height from which it is dropped. * Research Question- Does the height from where the ball is released affect the depth of the crater. * Hypothesis- If we increase the height of the drop of the ball; the depth of the crater would increase. This is because as there is loss in potential energy subsequently there

Independent Assessment Physics Lab (SL): Cantilever Flexion Cherno Okafor Mr. Ebrahimi SPH4U7 October 21st‚ 2012 Introduction Purpose: The purpose of this Physics Lab is to investigate what factors determine the amount of flexion of the cantilever. Hence‚ the objective is to establish a relationship between the length of a cantilever‚ which may give some insight into the physics of cantilevers. Hypothesis: If one increases the length of a cantilever‚ one would expect there to be an

quantities. Heat is a quantity of thermal energy‚ while temperature determines the direction and rate of heat transfer to the surroundings. It is possible for an object to have a very high temperature but contain very little heat and vice versa (physics 312). When a hot body is mixed with the cold body‚ the hot body cools down and the cold body warms up until the mixture as a whole comes to a common temperature‚ that is‚ in thermal equilibrium. By mixing hot and cold substances and measuring the
