Experiment 5 Polytropic Expansion of Air Object The object of this experiment is to find the relation between pressure and volume for the expansion of air in a pressure vessel – this expansion is a thermodynamic process. Introduction The expansion or compression of a gas can be described by the polytropic relation ‚ where p is pressure‚ v is specific volume‚ c is a constant and the exponent n depends on the thermodynamic process. In our experiment compressed air in a steel

We hypothesized that the presence of hairiness is inherited as a dominant trait and follows basic inheritance laws. The experiments were performed in quads‚ with the different quads

EXPERIMENT 5 TRANSVERSE STANDING WAVES A string attached to a turning fork is set vibrating at the same frequency as the tuning fork. The length and tension in the string are adjusted until standing waves are observed on the string. By knowing the tension in the string and the wavelength of the standing waves‚ the frequency of oscillation of the string and thus‚ the tuning fork is found. This value is then compared to a strobelight determination of the frequency. THEORY

Crater Design Experiment Aim: To see how the height in which the ball is dropped from affects the depth of the crater. Hypothesis: I predict that as the height in which the ball is dropped from increases‚ so does the depth of the crater (the data will be directly proportional). The scientific knowledge which supports this is that the golf ball has a gravitational potential energy which increases as the ball is dropped from higher heights. When the height increases the ball gains more gravitational

Evaluation I think my evidence is reliable because the anomalies in my first results were the same as the ones in my second results. The graph made a straight line with a gradient that gets deeper that is what I predicted. To improve my experiment to make it even more reliable I could use a more accurate ammeter and a larger range of results as well as more checks. The ammeter I use could be more than two decimal places‚ and I could get a lot of results and put them on one graph to

Ampere’s Law Jessica Warfield Partner: Rachel Beckner TA: Joel Mazer March 15‚ 2012 Conclusion: This experiment clearly demonstrated how Ampere’s Law relates the magnetic field to the current using the relationships stated in the formula B= μ0I2πr. This relationship allowed to the experiment to calculate the value of permeability of free space in order to verify the relationship that is outlined in Ampere’s Law. This lab also allowed us to measure magnetic field strength as a function of

was going at a high speed when it reached the peak of its bounce it is hard to measure how high the ball had bounced on sight alone. Parallax errors were hard to avoid during this experiment as each bounce was a different height and the camera moved during filming. To improve the reliability of results the experiments could be filmed with high speed video camera which would capture more shots per second than an ordinary camera‚ allowing the footage to be analysed down to the most accurate shot taken

Zimbardo was the mastermind of the Stanford Prison Experiment‚ which was a psychological experiment that determined the roles of members in a society that became a fiasco (“Philip G. Zimbardo” 1). The experiment left emotional and mental scars on mock-prisoner lives. The Stanford Prison Experiment (SPE) illustrates the way a person changes when a label and power is all of a sudden given to hoax guards in order to control fraud prisoners. The experiment had a unit of people willing to help the study (“On

During World War II‚ German doctors and physicians conducted harmful and cruel experiments with victims of the Holocaust; mainly in the concentration camp “Auschwitz.” Nazis’ goals were to improve their medical science‚ prove that they were the “Master Race‚” and they also wanted to have better treatments for the personnel of the German Military. The experiments performed were often deadly‚ but the physicians didn’t care‚ and tested the prisoners anyway. Some of the many victims were Jews‚ Romans
