EFFECT OF ROOM TEMPERATURE ON THE BURN-RATE OF A CANDLE BURNS Have you ever wondered whether a candle burns more quickly on a hot day‚ than on a cold day? Or is it the other way around? This science fair project was carried out to compare how quickly a candle will burn at different room temperatures. The experiment was done by measuring how much of a candle will melt in 30 minutes when placed in an environment with surrounding temperatures of 20°C‚ 25°C and 30°C. Hypothesis A candle in a colder

Evaluation Like any experiment‚ there were a number of potential errors during the procedure of the experiment. Errors could have arisen as a result of the uncertainties associated with the instruments I used to take measurements‚ and also as a result of errors associated with the actual method. Of course‚ due to the limitations of the procedure‚ they could not be eliminated completely‚ so I will explain what I did to reduce them to an acceptable level and how I could have improved my method to

PHYSICS OF THE PAST One hundred years ago‚ in a poky apartment in Bern‚ Switzerland‚ Albert Einstein‚ then just a 26-year-old patent office clerk still working part-time towards his PhD‚ published five ground breaking scientific papers. Each of these papers‚ written during Einstein’s annus mirabilis ‚ has become a "classic" in the history of science: On a Heuristic Viewpoint Concerning the Production and Transformation of Light ‚ which discusses optical photons and photoelectric effects.

caused by TB. Because antibiotics were unknown‚ the only means of controlling the spread of infection was to isolate patients in private sanitoria or hospitals limited to patients with TB—a practice that continues to this day in many countries. The net effect of this pattern of treatment was to separate the study of tuberculosis from mainstream medicine. Entire organizations were set up to study not only the disease as it affected individual patients‚ but its impact on the society as a whole. At the turn

Plan:- Independent Variable- Temperature is what I will be changing in the experiment. I want to find out what effect temperature has on the permeability of a cell membrane. Controlling other Variables- I will use measures to ensure that everything stays the same in my test to gain the best and most reliable results possible - Same volume of water that I put the beetroot into after heating. - The beetroot I use will be the same size each time‚ I will ensure this using a cork borer. - The beetroot

Objectives: • To be able to explain how the photoelectric effect experiment works and why a photon model of light is necessary to explain the results. • To study the effect of intensity of light on photoelectric experiment. • To estimate the Planck’s constant‚ h through the simulation. • To be determine how to calculate the wavelength of light‚ the work function of the metal‚ or the stopping potential‚ if given the other two. Beginning with the plate made of sodium. Keep all the parameters

Lab activity 1: Effect of temperature‚ concentration‚ and pressure on equilibrium Introduction Our ongoing discussion has been on systems at dynamic equilibrium: for a reversible reaction‚ the rate of the forward reaction is equal to the rate of the reverse reaction. What happens if equilibrium is disturbed? In this lab activity‚ we are going to examine the effect of changing reaction conditions on the position of equilibrium. Part I: Effect of temperature We will consider the equilibrium

Temperature Effects on Labor Productivity: A Cross-Country Approach Introduction Intro into the topic Hypothesis I will test the hypothesis that higher temperature will adversely affect labor productivity in a country. Outline Purpose The purpose of this paper is to check the effects of temperature on labor productivity to conclude that climate change will have a severe impact on labor productivity in the future. It can be thought of as a domino effect. To begin with‚ populations are increasing
