How Surface Area Affects the Motion of a Falling Object Introduction During this investigation‚ varying surface areas of objects will be explored in a manner observing the motion as they fall. Most predominantly‚ this motion encircles speed. Speed is calculated from the formula below‚ and hence is directly proportionate to time taken when the distance travelled remains a constant. Speed = Distance/Time Surface area is likely to affect the time taken for an object to complete a descent‚ and

different areas‚ and especially in the making of ships. The surface area that is touching the water of the ship is very large‚ due to the shape of the hull‚ and that‚ beside the density of the ship‚ is what keeps the ship floating. An important example of how surface area affects buoyancy is when people float in the water. Everyone knows that it is much easier to stay afloat when we are lying on our backs than when we are in a standing position in the water. But how does the surface area of an object

enzymes in potatoes reacting with Hydrogen Peroxide. In particular I will investigate the effects of changing the surface area of a potato when added to Hydrogen Peroxide. This is because‚ when increasing the surface area of the potatoes it will increase the rate of reaction because there will be more surface area on which particles from the potato and the Hydrogen Peroxide will collide on‚ and with more surface area there would be more particles carrying kinetic energy‚ and by carrying more kinetic energy

the rate of reaction and the surface area. The larger the surface are‚ the faster the rate of reaction seems to be. However‚ although the grain with the largest surface area (the smallest grain) reached the highest point within the shortest amount of time‚ its end result was still lower then the medium sized grain. The explanation for this result is relatively easy. The rate of a chemical reaction can be increased by increasing the size of the surface area to volume ratio of the solid reactant.

Synopsis This project report explains about the surface tension and capillarity of liquid through a simple experiment of finding the capillarity of various detergents. Oil stains and grease on dirty clothes cannot be removed‚ using water alone‚ because water does not wet them. If detergents added ‚ surface tension is decreased‚ the area of contact is increased. Detergent molecules have the shape of a hairpin‚ one of which is attracted to water

The aim of this experiment was to replicate the Primacy effect‚ which investigates the effects of ascending and descending performances on attributions of intellectual ability‚ illustrating that individuals’ perception of another individual is influenced by their first impression of that person to the detriment of all subsequent impressions. The design included independent groups‚ and the 46 participants over 16 years old (25 males and 21 females) were chosen through convenience sampling. The latter

n this study‚ the Stroop effect experiment will be carried out on matching and mismatching test. The Stroop effect experiment was named after Ridely Stroop‚ published in 1935‚ and the purpose of this experiment was to demonstrate the difference in reaction time of reading the name of the coloured words and naming the ink of the colour. Not only does it record the reaction time‚ but it also aims to measure individuals focused attention‚ learning and memory (Stroop‚ 1935). However‚ when reading through
