How a Pendulum Works Isaac Olson Mitch Koebnick‚ Kyle Orr 13 September 2013 A Period Purpose There are three purposes of this experiment. The first purpose is to determine the relationship of the period and the amplitude of the pendulum. The second purpose is to determine the relationship of the period and the mass of the pendulum. The final‚ but most certainly not the least‚ purpose of this experiment is to determine the relationship of the period and the length of the pendulum. Procedure

In Poe’s story the “The Pit and the Pendulum” he distinctively uses symbolism‚ repetition‚ mood and diction to tell a tale of hope over circumstance to make this story come to life for the reader. Unlike the hypersensitive characters from other stories‚ such as the narrator in “The Tell-Tale Heart‚” this narrator claims to lose the capacity of sensation during the swoon upon receiving his death sentence that opens the story. This story is different from Poe’s other works such as this narrator remains

hill. Determine the initial horizontal velocity of the soccer ball. Problem Type 2: A projectile is launched at an angle to the horizontal and rises upwards to a peak while moving horizontally. Upon reaching the peak‚ the projectile falls with a motion that is symmetrical to its path upwards to the peak. Predictable unknowns include the time of flight‚ the horizontal range‚ and the height of the projectile when it is at its peak. Examples of this type of problem are a. A football is kicked

The Pit and the Pendulum by Edgar Allen Poe‚ and The Lowest Animal by Mark Twain have many differences but one central theme. They both express the belief that the human race can be destructive. Both stories have very different settings. Poe’s story The Pit and the Pendulum takes place in a completely pitch black room. From lines 102 - 103 the narrator says‚ “the blackness of eternal night encompassed me”(pg.252). The narrator wakes up and tries to navigate and almost falls in a pit. He was put

Free Fall Rachel Shea Physics 131 Lab‚ QL Hasbrouck 210 Sept. 21‚ 2014 Abstract This experiment measures the study of motion by observing the force of gravity acting solely upon an object‚ and also measures reaction time. If an object is in free fall‚ the only force acting upon it is gravity. The object used in this experiment was a golf ball that provided some acceleration when dropped. A sensor positioned underneath a table recorded the golf ball’s pattern of motion‚ when dropped. The main

Projectile Motion The purpose of this lab is to study the properties of projectile motion. From the motion of a steel ball projected horizontally‚ the initial velocity of the ball can be determined from the measured range. For a given initial velocity‚ the projectile range will be measured for various initial angles‚ and also calculated by applying the theory for motion with constant acceleration. For further background information‚ refer to the sections in your textbook on projectile motion and motion

.:First experiment:. .Problem: How will the length of a pendulum affect the amount of swings per minute? .Hypothesis: I believe that the length of the pendulum will affect the amount of swings per minute because when the string is shorter in length‚ there would be less friction between the string and the atmosphere‚ causing the string to go faster. .Materials: * String ( should be 70-90 cm long) * Metal washers * Stopwatch * Metric ruler * Stand * Extra washers (You will

Pit and the Pendulum essay Emily Springer pd.2 10.21.14 Poe’s Pit and Pendulum can relate to life where you are uncertain of what your future will be due to different obstacles you face. In this story the author uses darkness‚ oblivion and deception to create an effective tone and atmosphere throughout the story. The darkness really plays an important role in the beginning of this story. Having the narrator alone and left with his thoughts and fears to consume him sets an eerie tone. “The blackness
