Experiment 9: THE TANGENT GALVANOMETER; PURPOSE: In this experiment we will measure the magnitude of the horizontal component of the Earth’s Magnetic field by the use of an instrument called a tangent galvanometer. INTRODUCTION: A tangent galvanometer consists of a number of turns of copper wire wound on a hoop. At the center of the hoop a compass is mounted. When a direct current flows through the wires‚ a magnetic field is induced in the space surrounding the loops of

on Run Now. 1) Once the simulation opens‚ click on ‘Show Both’ for Velocity and Acceleration at the top of the page. Now click and drag the red ball around the screen. Make 3 observations about the blue and green arrows (also called vectors) as you drag the ball around. When the ball is stopped there isn’t any changes in the placement of the ball. This means that there is zero velocity at that time. 2) Which color vector (arrow) represents velocity and which one represents acceleration

Height of Ball Drop v/s The Depth of the Crater | By Tejas Shah‚ IBDP Year 1 | | | | | | | * Aim- To find the relationship between the depth of crater and the height from which it is dropped. * Research Question- Does the height from where the ball is released affect the depth of the crater. * Hypothesis- If we increase the height of the drop of the ball; the depth of the crater would increase. This is because as there is loss in potential energy subsequently there

Laura Cortez Science Per. D 11/28/12 Soccer Ball Lab I. INTRODUCTION Speed‚ distance‚ time‚ and acceleration are all very complex formulas that are interdependent. These formulas are measured in motion data and used to determine the final instantaneous speed‚ distance‚ time‚ and acceleration. Distance and time are two formulas that are used to determine speed and time. For example‚ distance equals speed multiplied with time given‚ time equals distance divided by speed‚ and speed is

example of the skater. Divers use this so they can use the lowest moment of inertia and fastest spin to move seamlessly and enter the water. The same goes for baseball players and golfers so that they can move have a very effective swing and hit the ball at the correct angles. Going down to the basics‚ the moment of inertia of an object can be found by breaking the object into little bits and multiplying the mass of each piece by its distance from the rotational axis squared. Adding all of these

variable represents the length of the string and the dependent variable represents the period of one oscillation. The control variable is the mass of the pendulum. In this lab our goal was to see if we can prove if the acceleration due to gravity is 9.8m/s2. The R2 in this lab is closed to 9.8 m/s2 . The formula that we used in this lab is T=2πLg and then we solved for g=L(T2π)2. HYPOTHESIS: The gravity will be 9.81 m/s2 at sea level due to the acceleration. PROCEDURE: Materials: stopwatch‚ meter
