Science in the Big City: Exploring Career Opportunities in the Natural and Physical Sciences New York City May 13-18‚ 2014 Students in the Natural Sciences at the University of Houston-Downtown are generally accomplished and motivated students with strong interests in science. However‚ students typically have a very limited perception of the science careers available to them outside of medicine. To educate students as to the array of potential careers available in the sciences (not medicine)

April 29‚ 2014 Abstract The objective project was to use our knowledge of physic properties to create a working car that was powered by a mouse trap. I found that the lighter the car was and the more traction the car had‚ the further it travelled. Introduction The purpose of this project was to create a car that is powered by a mouse trap. We were to use our knowledge of physics laws to make the best car we can. I knew from Newton’s Law‚ F=ma‚ that if my car had a lower

Coefficient of Kinetic Friction Objective: After completing this experiment‚ you should be able to measure the coefficient of sliding friction of an object that is located on an inclined plane. Apparatus: Inclined Plane Pulley attachment for plane Wooden blcok‚ with hook attached Meterstick Felt Set of masses String Protractor Procedure: 1. Place the board in the position shown in Figure 7-1. 2. The angle of the board should be small enough so that the wooden block will not slide

The moment of inertia is a measure of an object’s resistance to changes in its rotation. It must be very specific to the chosen axis of rotation. Also‚ it is specific to the mass and shape of the object‚ including the way that is mass is distributed in the object. Moment of inertia is usually quantified in kgm2. An object’s where the mass is concentrated very close to the center of axis of rotation will be easier to spin than an object of identical mass with the mass concentrated far from the axis

Measurement of the distance‚ the thickness and the radius of curvature Purpose : To learn how to use vernier caliper‚ micrometer and spherometer to measure internal and external diameters of a pipe‚the thickness of a copper rods‚ and the radius of curvature of spherical lenses. 1) Vernier caliper: As shown in Fig. 1 the main fixed scale in the vernier caliper has 1 mm gradations while th sliding scale (vernier scale) has 0.05 mm gradations. The smallest division of vernier scale is called
