order to determine whether or not simple harmonic motion follows Hooke’s law. The experiment consisted of two parts‚ the first part was done with springs hanging weights as well as the pulling down of a string attached to the spring for both individual and two springs. The second part was done with a collision cart and springs attached on both ends of the cart. The data obtained supported that simple harmonic motion obeys Hooke’s law as the spring value constants were all positive and the graphs displayed

Engineering B45 Concrete Lab Report Introduction: Concrete is a mixture of sand and rock or similar inert material (aggregates) held together by a cementing material. Usually the cementing material is Portland cement‚ but sometimes binders such as asphalt or gypsum are used‚ in which case the concrete may be called asphaltic concrete or gypsum concrete. Properties of concrete are governed not only by the properties of its ingredients (cement‚ water‚ sand‚ and coarse aggregate) but also‚ to a great

Sterling Hayden AP Biology Mrs. Proehl 24 November 2014 I. Title Effect of Differing pH‚ Temperature‚ and Enzyme Concentration on Catalase Reaction Rate II. Introduction Enzymes are used to increase the rate of specific reactions in the body. Catalase‚ a specific enzyme‚ speeds the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide‚ a toxic chemical produced by cells in the body‚ into water and oxygen (Cain and others‚ 2010). The oxygen can be observed as bubbles coming from the reaction site. Catalase is found in many living tissues of organisms

Collecting Photosynthetic Rates in Spinach (Spinacia oleracea) Introduction: The purpose of this study was to see which light color would cause the spinach sample to photosynthesize the most within the given time. In order to understand photosynthesis‚ we need to know that chloroplasts absorb light energy from the sun‚ the plant then takes that energy along with water and carbon dioxide and changes it to sugar and oxygen. This happens in order for the plants to grow. But‚ light energy comes in a

m/kg = mass of the oscillating system k/Nm−1 = force constant of the spring. Hooke’s Law tells that the force acting on the spring is proportional to the extension of the spring; mg=ke Mass is the amount of matter contained in an object and its SI unit is kg. Gravitational field

Introduction In this lab‚ the purpose was to verify Hess’s Law. Four main topics were covered during this experiment including enthalpy of reaction‚ heat of formation‚ Hess’s Law‚ and calorimetry. The enthalpy of reaction‚ ΔHrxn is the heat or enthalpy change for a chemical reaction. The energy change is equal to the amount of heat transferred at a constant pressure in the reaction. The change represents the difference in enthalpy of the products and the reactants and is independent of the steps

The objective of this lab was to recreate the color profile of a given solution. In this case‚ the solution was Powerade. The final solution should match the absorbance values at the peak wavelengths (420nm and 628nm) in Powerade. This lab was done using deionized water‚ FD&C Blue #1‚ FD&C Yellow #5‚ FD&C Red #40‚ and a spectrometer. To obtain the correct color profile‚ FD&C Blue #1 and FD&C Yellow #5 were utilized in the sample solutions. The experiment was conducted over two days; the first day

9/23/12 Lab Report #1 Meter Reading Summary The objective of this experiment was to learn how to read different meters like the D.C. volt meter and the D.C. amperes meter. In all meters each big line is a major division and each little line in between is a minor division‚ and if there is a line smaller than the minor division lines then that would be a sub minor division. Each meter has a low‚ medium‚ and high range. For example on the D.C. volt meter the ranges go from top to bottom 150‚ 15‚

formulas and also chemical reactions. In this experiment hydrogen gas will be produced from the reaction of a known mass of magnesium metal with an excess of hydrochloric acid. The theoretical number of moles of hydrogen gas may be calculated using stoichiometry and the balanced chemical equation. The theoretical volume of hydrogen gas may then be determined from the previously determined number of moles of gas by rearranging the ideal gas law to solve for volume at the experimental conditions of temperature

Lab Report Diffusion is - One of two kinds of passive transport‚ - Diffusion can transport ions from higher concentration to lower concentration region without any other forces. - A net movement of molecules in and out of cell membrane - Diffusion can be affected by the steepness of the concentration gradient. Lab question: Is the rate of diffusion influenced by the presence of second molecule? Prediction: the rate of diffusion is influenced by the presence of second molecule
