Static and Kinetic Friction Introduction The amount of friction force between two surfaces in contact depends on the type of the surfaces in contact and the amount of compression between the surfaces. Static friction is the force that is acting against your force before the object begins to move. If you exert a small push on the box‚ the box will not move because static friction is directly opposite to the push. If you apply a greater force than the static friction force‚ the friction increases

1 for a pictoral representation of these definitions.) | Figure 1 Definitions | Torque is defined as = r x F = r F sin(). In other words‚ torque is the cross product between the distance vector (the distance from the pivot point to the point where force is applied) and the force vector‚ ’a ’ being the angle between r and F. Using the right hand rule‚ we can find the direction of the torque vector. If we put our fingers in the direction of r‚ and curl them to the direction of F‚ then the

Aim: This experiment will aim to show how the amount of substrate affects the rate of the reaction. Hypothesis: In this experiment I think the amount of substrate will simply increase the reaction. As I increase the surface area of the potato the gas given off from the reaction will increase. Therefore to sum things up‚ my hypothesis is when the Independent variable increases so will the dependant variable. Independent variable: - Surface area of potato Dependant variable: - Gas Controlled

Investigating Projectiles Background: A projectile is an entity which only has the force of gravity acting upon it. A projectile can be cast‚ fired‚ flung‚ heaved‚ hurled‚ pitched‚ tossed and thrown. A projectile can be anything as long as it has initial horizontal velocity that is not equal to zero which has the acceleration due to gravity. Projectile motion happens when an object projected with a force stops putting influence on the object after its launched‚ hence the only force being gravity

The electron transfer reaction between hexacyanoferrate (III) and sodium borohydride resulted in the formation of hexacyanoferrate (II) ion and dihydrogen borate ion which was strongly catalyzed by AuNPs. The redox reaction is described as BH4- + 8 [Fe (CN)6]3- + 3H2O 8 [Fe(CN)6]4- + H2 BO3- + 8H+ The advantage of hexacyanoferrate ion for this redox study is that both oxidation states of iron (+2 and +3) are quite stable with respect to dissociation and hydrolysis

(a) If [B] is held constant while [A] is doubled‚ the reaction will proceed twice as fast. (b) If [A] is held constant while [B] is reduced to one quarter‚ the rate will be halved (c) If [A] and [B] are both doubled‚ the reaction will proceed 8 times as fast. 2.

Investigating Functionalism Functionalism is a theory about the nature of mental states. According to functionalism‚ mental states are functional states that are defined by their functional roles (causal relations to other things) rather than their intrinsic qualities. To illustrate the difference between the two ways of defining something‚ entities such as clocks (to display time) and calculators (to manipulate numbers) are defined functionally‚ whereas entities such as water (H2O) and gold (Au)

Investigating Electromagnets Aim: The aim of the experiment is to investigate what affects the strength of an electromagnet. Hypothesis: The more coils and electricity the more powerful the electromagnet becomes. Prediction: When the voltage of electricity is increased I think that the nail will have more magnetism allowing it to attract more paper clips‚ because with more voltage going through the circuit‚ it can then make the electromagnet stronger. Variables: Independent The independent

Introduction Chemical Kinetics‚ described as the study of rate of chemical processes‚ varies on many factors to determine the time needed for a reaction to complete. The rate of reaction of a chemical reaction is important‚ as reactions are of little use if the time period needed for the reaction to occur is too lengthy. Many factors influence the rate of a chemical reaction‚ such as temperature‚ concentration and surface area. The order of the reaction is based on the concentration of the reactants
