Kathryn Marchessault Physics Lab LR Tuesday 8-9:55 Due 02/26/15 Experiment #1 Free Fall Experiment Abstract In this experiment we studied the motion of an object in free fall‚ that is an object being dropped from a certain height to Earth’s surface. In this experiment we tested the idea that no matter what the size‚ shape‚ color‚ etc. of the object if it would still experience the same constant acceleration throughout its fall (short distance). The constant downward acceleration it experiences

Lab 1- Measurements of a Table ABSTRACT: The purpose of this experiment was to determine the value of the acceleration of a free falling object and to describe the range of experimental values. Within the experiment the items used to help provide the conclusion that 2/3 or our values fell within the 9.62m/s^2- 9.78m/s^2 range was a Vernier data-collection interface‚ Logger Pro Application and the apparatus Photogate. The results found within the 30 trial periods were all precise

Lab II‚ Problem 3: Projectile Motion and Velocity Oct. 06‚ 2013 Physics 1301W‚ Professor: Hanany‚ TA: Vladimir Abstract A ball is tossed obliquely. The vectors of position and velocity are measured. The acceleration is calculated. Introduction A toy company is now making an instructional videotape on how to predict the position. Therefore‚ in order to make the prediction accurate‚ how the horizontal and vertical components of a ball’s position as it flies through the air should

Kinetic Friction Experiment #13 Joe Solution E01234567 Partner- Jane Answers PHY 221 Lab Instructor- Nathaniel Franklin Wednesday‚ 11 AM-1 PM Lecture Instructor – Dr. Jacobs Abstract The purpose of this experiment was to examine kinetic friction and what factors affect it. We pulled a wood block across a surface to determine whether the surface area of the block or the type of surface affects friction. The surface area did not appear to affect friction‚ since there was a small percent difference

Required Vocabulary – IB 12 Higher Level Physics and Physical Measurement 1. Fundamental Units – seven basic units of the SI measurement system: kilogram‚ second‚ mole‚ meter‚ ampere‚ Kelvin‚ candela. 2. Derived Units – units that are combinations of fundamental units. These combinations may or may not have a separate name. (eg. 1 kg m/s2 = 1 N) 3. Accuracy - An indication of how close a measurement is to the accepted value (a measure of correctness). 4. Precision - An indication

The purpose of the first part of the lab‚ 4.1 What a Drag!‚ was to measure the force required to pull a block over five different surfaces. The sliding surfaces used in the lab were the tabletop‚ waxed paper‚ paper towel‚ fine sandpaper‚ and coarse sandpaper. The purpose of the second lab‚ 4.2 Changing The Load‚ was

Purpose To be able to understand and verify the relationship centripetal force‚ mass‚ velocity‚ and the radius of orbit for a body that is undergoing centripetal acceleration. Background Information An object moving in the same direction is not necessarily undergoing acceleration. If the object changes speed while moving in the same direction there is acceleration (or deceleration). On the other hand‚ if the object moves at a constant speed in the same direction‚ there is no acceleration
