Purpose: To practice direct and indirect measurement Introduction: Do you think you could measure the average thickness of a sample of M&Ms without directly measuring selected M&Ms? The answer is "yes‚" and in this activity you will make direct and indirect measurements of the thickness of M&Ms. You will compare the results and evaluate the reliability of each method of measurement. Be sure to view the tutorial on the proper use of the vernier caliper. Please re-visit the information on when

Static Electricity Physics Lab #1 June 24‚ 2011 Purpose The purpose of this experiment is to explain the different aspects of static electricity‚ including effects of electrical charges on small-uncharged objects‚ electrical attraction and repulsion‚ creation of electrical charge‚ practical uses of electrical charges‚ and measurement of electrical force between electrical charges. Findings Electric current is the flow of electric charge. Some materials become electrically charged when rubbed

INTRODUCTION Surface modification is a miraculous application of Electric Discharge Machining (EDM). It can modify the conductive material surface by both removing material from the surface and depositing material on the surface. It can remove or deposit material from the work surface through controlled electrical sparks by the process of melting and evaporation. The controlled sparks erode material from the work and tool surface within very short intervals of time. Study of surface morphology widens

Torque and Equilibrium Purpose: Apply principle of static equilibrium to determine a coefficient of friction. Research Question: What is the coefficient of friction between a meter stick and wall? Hypothesis: Tying a piece of string on to the end of a meter stick‚ put the other end of the meter stick against the wall so that the meter stick is horizontal and does not slide down the wall. Hang a weight on the meter stick sliding it to a point where the meter stick is about to come off from

Conclusion: Category 1: Momentum was found that after the collision was less than before the collision by 10%. This was not what has been expected‚ so the difference was fairly significant. This happened because of friction‚ when the two pucks collided‚ they have lost a bit of their momentum‚ so the momentum after the collision differed. Kinetic energy differed more than what was expected‚ it was significantly less after the collision‚ the difference before and after the collision was 63.7%‚

Physics Formulas: Mechanics Mechanics is the oldest branch of physics. Mechanics deals with all kinds and complexities of motion. It includes various techniques‚ which can simplify the solution of a mechanical problem. Here are some of the often required physics formulas falling in mechanics domain. Motion in One Dimension The physics formulas for motion in one dimension (Also called Kinematical equations of motion) are as follows. (Here ’u’ is initial velocity‚ ’v’ is final velocity‚ ’a’ is
