Hoo Sze Yen Form 4 Experiments Physics SPM 2008 CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION TO PHYSICS 1.1 PENDULUM Hypothesis: The longer the length of a simple pendulum‚ the longer the period of oscillation. Aim of the experiment: To investigate how the period of a simple pendulum varies with its length. Variables: Manipulated: The length of the pendulum‚ l Responding: The period of the pendulum‚ T Constant: The mass of the pendulum bob‚ gravitational acceleration Apparatus/Materials: Pendulum bob‚ length

through which it swings. Another factor involved in the period of motion is‚ the acceleration due to gravity (g)‚ which on the earth is 9.8 m/s2. It follows then that a long pendulum has a greater period than a shorter pendulum. Before coming to lab‚ you should visit the following web site: http://www.myphysicslab.com/pendulum1.html This simulation shows a simple pendulum operating under gravity. For small oscillations the pendulum is linear‚ but it is non-linear for larger oscillations. You can

THE EFFECT OF SCIENTIFIC EVOLUTION ON PHYSICS AS AN INDEPENDENT FIELD OF STUDY INTRODUCTION The early period of the seventeenth century is known as the “scientific revolution” for the drastic changes evidenced approach to science . The word “revolution” connotes a period of turmoil and social upheaval where ideas about the world change severely and a completely new era of academic thought is ushered in. This term‚ therefore‚ describes quite accurately what took place in the scientific community

DP Physics IA Thermal physics: Specific Heat Capacity of Metals Introduction: In this experiment we are going to measure the specific heat capacity of a unknown metal. To measure the specific heat capacity we will heat up the metal to certain temperature and release the metal in beaker filled with water. By knowing the mass and temperature of water filled in beaker‚ we will be able to calculate the specific capacity of unknown metal by change in temperature of beaker willed

NOTE: This paper explains the theory and uses of the electric generator‚ and explains the differences between AC and DC generators. It also includes a glossary and a bibliography. --------------------------------------------------- ELECTRIC GENERATORS In its most basic definition‚ an electric generator is a machine that produces electricity. Generators produce almost all of the electricity used by people. They supply the electric power that runs machines in factories‚ provide lighting‚ and operate

Field Note 117: field radius growth is definitely not linear for linear control voltage increase. Ben sat back from the work bench and took several calming breaths. His sandwich sat on the test plate on top of the field projector array. It was a turkey club...the sandwich that is. The test plate was just a paper plate and the field projector array looked like a vintage ham radio and a movie projector had gotten very intimate. He couldn’t deny the results though.
