Experiment 9: THE TANGENT GALVANOMETER; PURPOSE: In this experiment we will measure the magnitude of the horizontal component of the Earth’s Magnetic field by the use of an instrument called a tangent galvanometer. INTRODUCTION: A tangent galvanometer consists of a number of turns of copper wire wound on a hoop. At the center of the hoop a compass is mounted. When a direct current flows through the wires‚ a magnetic field is induced in the space surrounding the loops of

In 2007‚ the United States of America Energy Information Administration researched that eighty seven percent of global energy consumption comes from fossil fuels. The worlds most reliable industries provide fuel and electricity to modern societies and have made millions. People have high consumption lifestyle revolving around

Physics of a Light Bulb Catherine Bellet Lab Partners: Natalie Russell Alex Harris TA: Chad Lunceford PHY 114 TH @ 2:25pm Abstract: Ohm’s law states‚ via the equation V=I*R‚ that the voltage found across a piece of material is proportional to the current. If the temperature remains constant therefore the resistance is found to remain constant. Stefan-Boltzmann law states that when the temperature if above an average of 1000K‚ then the relationship of voltage and current should be found

impact on the rate of global warming? There are all these campaigns for us to combat global warming and reduce our emissions‚ we have all the science to maybe not stop it but effectively reduce it to stable conditions. It is evident that the temperatures and sea levels are rising and this proves global warming is out there; but it still doesn’t make a difference we still do nothing because Global warming is irreversible; we are so deep in that there is nothing we can do to rescue ourselves

thermoregulation Prior Knowledge Questions (Do these BEFORE using the Gizmo.) Homeostasis is the ability to maintain a stable environment inside the body. For example‚ your body does things to maintain constant blood sugar levels and body temperature. 1. What are some things you do to stay cool on a hot day? Some things I do to stay cool is to drink water‚ wear less clothes and turn the fan/ air conditioner on at the location I am at. 2. What can you do to warm up on a cold day? On a cold

Can tegu lizards maintain an elevated body temperature during their reproductive season? Experiment: Dr. Glenn Tattersall and a team of researchers in Rio Claro‚ Brazil studied changes in the heart rate and body temperature of tegu lizards (Salvator merianae)‚ by implanting lizards bred in captivity with specialized electronic chips. One group of lizard lived in an entirely outdoor environment for one year. Three other groups that were subjected to alternating indoor and outdoor environments over

2.4 Galileo Galilei: Sixteenth-Century “New Scientist” 1. In your own words explain why Albert Einstein considered Galileo to be the “father of modern science” Albert Einstein considered Galileo to be the father of modern science because of how many of Galileo’s discoveries have become the basis of today’s science. 2. Why did Galileo choose to use a ramp to perform his acceleration experiment? Technology during Galileo’s time was still quite primitive. His experiment which required him to drop
