HG-1 THE HEAT OF FUSION OF ICE Introduction When heat flows into a system there are a number of things that can happen. One result could be a temperature rise. Or‚ the system might even catch fire. A third possibility is a change of state. As you know‚ matter exists in three states (or maybe four‚ the fourth being a plasma)‚ solid‚ liquid and gaseous. At different temperatures‚ the same substance may be in different states. Each state is characterized by the way the interatomic forces act. In solids

1. Properties of light Reflection The speed of light is measured through the equation: v = λ f. However‚ it turns out that when light is reflected off a surface its speed stays the same. This was first proven by Sir Isaac Newton. Under the assumption of perfectly elastic collision‚ the laws of reflection follow from the laws of motion. To demonstrate‚ consider a particle traveling towards a flat frictionless surface whose horizontal and vertical velocity components are: VX and VY. When the particle

The Physics of Rainbows As we are coming down to the final weeks of winter‚ the days are getting longer‚ and it is slowing starting to warm up. We are all looking forward to springtime‚ with its promises of flowers and rain. Along with this rain brings reminders of rainbows. As Donald Ahrens says in the Meteorology Today magazine‚ “rainbows are one of the most spectacular light shows observed on earth (About).” In fact‚ one of the best ways to view a rainbow at it’s utmost

the object when it hits the ground. Hypothesis: If the Buick is projected in the air at the same angle as the other objects‚ then it will have a higher velocity compared to a tank shell‚ a golf ball‚ a baseball‚ a bowling ball‚ a football‚ a pumpkin‚ an adult human‚ and a piano. Introduction: In physics‚ velocity is often defined as the speed. Gravity is the amount of force that acts upon an object. In this experiment‚ when one projects an object in the air‚ gravity acts upon the object causing

Chapter 11 – Question 24 (p. 351): At the .05 significance level‚ is the number of units produced on the night shift larger? H0: µ1 ≤ µ2 H1: µ1 > µ2 Z critical value: 1.645 x̄d (µ1): 351 x̄n (µ2): 345 σ^2d: 21 σ^2n: 28 Nd: 54 Nn: 60 Z=(351-345)/SQRT((28^2/60)+(21^2/54))=1.302 Fail to reject the null. Z is less than the critical value; therefore‚ the number of units produced on the night shift is less than the number of units produced on the day shift. Chapter 11 – Question

temperature of a tennis ball affects the way it bounces ? I chose this topic because it sounded interesting and i’ve been thinking to myself when someone plays a sport like tennis and depending on the weather and i wonder does depending on the weather does the weather affect your performance. Based on my research i figured out depending on the weather it will be harder for you to play because you don’t know how the ball will move differently because of the weather. The ball we will be focusing on

I. Temperature Measurement 1. A thermometric property is a physical property that changes in a known way with temperature‚ and can therefore be used to measure temperature. The substance used as a thermometer must have a property that varies proportionally / linearly with temperature. [ In other words: When objects are heated or cooled‚ their temperatures change‚ along with some of their properties‚ these properties are known as Thermometric Properties.] Two commonly used thermometric properties
