EXPERIMENT 3: ISENTROPIC EXPANSION PROCESS Objective In order to demonstrate the isentropic expansion process. Introduction Isentropic means no change in entropy. Entropy is a thermodynamic property that is the measure of a system’s thermal energy per unit temperature that is unavailable for doing useful work. In simple terms‚ the measure of the level of disorder in a closed but changing system‚ a system in which energy can only be transferred in one direction from an ordered state to a disordered

Physics Lab report Aammar Paracha Section MX Feb 6th 2015 OPTICS Abstract: This experiment revolves around using light rays and lenses. The experiment also discusses different properties of light rays. This experiment uses different lenses and measurements to produce images and observes different techniques to obtain the image position. Question and Answers: 1. Use your data to verify the Law of Reflection and then use Snell’s Law to calculate

high temperature but contain very little heat and vice versa (physics 312). When a hot body is mixed with the cold body‚ the hot body cools down and the cold body warms up until the mixture as a whole comes to a common temperature‚ that is‚ in thermal equilibrium. By mixing hot and cold substances and measuring the change in temperature‚ the thermal characteristics of the substance can be determined. The purpose of this experiment is to understand the difference between heat and temperature‚ and

Experiment-5 Thermal physics is the combined study of thermodynamics‚ statistical mechanics‚ and kinetic theory. This practical is done to measure the temperature drop of water over a period of time (30 minutes). Research question- What is the rate of temperature change over a period of 30 minutes? Independent variable- time Dependent variable- the temperature of water Controlled variables- the amount of water in the calorimeter - The stop watch

towards the road block but when the hanger has a large amount of mass in it then it will make the cart accelerate faster. VI. Questions and Problems: 1. Did the results of this experiment verify that F = ma? - Yes‚ because the net force is directly proportional to mass and acceleration. Also as we see in the experiment‚ the mass will help the cart accelerate faster if it has a small amount of mass but if the mass on the cart is large then it will make the cart to move slowly. 2. Why must the

motion is a series of experiments that deal with different types of motion in a single direction. In the first experiment‚ one dimensional motion of a small cart on an air track is measured in a one photogate system. The acceleration was calculated by the infrared light emitting electrode of the photogate sensing the slacks on the picket fence. The calculation for gravity yielded 9.63 m/s^2‚ which is consistent with the accepted value of 9.8m/s^2. In the second experiment‚ acceleration of a cart
