Physics C-110 Module 1 Chapter 1 1. What is science? Science is a body of knowledge that is ever changing. It is made up of not only facts but also theories that are made up of well-tested hypotheses. 2. Distinguish among the scientific fact‚ hypothesis‚ law and theory As stated above‚ a theory is made up of well-tested hypotheses‚ which in themselves are well educated guesses yet to be proven. A fact is something that can change over time even though it was agreed upon by knowledgeable

Determine the electrical force of attraction between two balloons that are charged with the opposite type of charge but the same quantity of charge. The charge on the balloons is 1.2 x 10-8 C and they are separated by a distance of 0.40 m. 2.

Prediction I think that the speed of the cart will decrease as more weight is added on top of the cart. This is because the more weight that is placed on the moving vehicle/object‚ the more downward force is produced. This would increase the friction between the wheels of the cart and the ramp’s surface. The increase in friction would slow down the moving object (cart). Apparatus Trolley/cart- this is essentially a wooden block with wheels and a rubber end‚ to provide the collision with a

Science in the Big City: Exploring Career Opportunities in the Natural and Physical Sciences New York City May 13-18‚ 2014 Students in the Natural Sciences at the University of Houston-Downtown are generally accomplished and motivated students with strong interests in science. However‚ students typically have a very limited perception of the science careers available to them outside of medicine. To educate students as to the array of potential careers available in the sciences (not medicine)

Space Definitions Field Vector A field vector is a single vector that describes the strengths and direction of a uniform vector field. For a gravitational field‚ the field vector is g Weight Weight is defined as the force on a mass due to the gravitational field of a large celestial body such as the Earth Gravitational Potential Energy Gravitational Potential Energy is the energy of a mass due to its position within a gravitational field. On a large scale GPE is defined as the work done

BOOM’ S PROBLEM PS 4.3 – Torque (Rotational Equilibrium) Problems 1. A crane supports a 3.0 kN weight as shown. The crane’s boom is 8.0 m long and is at an angle of 30˚ from the horizontal. If the hydraulic support is attached to the boom 2.0 m from the bottom of the boom‚ then: a) what is the compressional force in the hydraulic? b) what is the magnitude and direction of the force on the pin at the bottom of the boom? a) ∑Torque = 0 F cos 30˚ x 2.0 = 3000 cos 30˚ x 8.0 F = 24

Question 1(10 marks) Comment the following statements (a) The volume coefficient of thermal expansion of water is negative for temperatures in the range 0 to 4 °C. (b) The triple point of water‚ 0.01 °C‚ and 611.73 Pa‚ is one of the primary fixed points on the Kelvin absolute temperature scale. (c) The volume coefficient for the thermal expansion of a solid is twice the linear coefficient for thermal expansion. (d) A temperature of 26.85 °C is the same as 300 K. (e) The surface temperature

Plasma Complexity! Plasma is said to a substance similar to gas in which a certain portion of the particles are ionized. The basic premise is that heating a gas dissociates its molecular bonds‚ rendering it into its constituent atoms. Further heating leads ionization‚ turning it into plasma: containing charged particles‚ positive ions and negative electrons. The presence of a non-negligible number of charge carriers makes the plasma electrically conductive so that it responds strongly to electromagnetic
