SPH4U-B 4 Circular Motion Physics SPH4U-B Lesson 4 Introduction Transportation has undoubtedly advanced. Not only have vehicles changed‚ but the means by which people can get themselves to and from different locations has changed as well. Maps and compasses now take a backseat to the Global Positioning System (GPS). Access to the GPS is now very widespread; 24 satellites above our atmosphere are used to send and receive information in order to accurately determine locations of

“The Domino Effect” Teacher’s Prompt Investigate the domino effect with a set of dominoes. Aim To investigate the relationship between the mass of the dominoes‚ and how it impacts the time taken of the domino effect. Independent Variable: The mass of each domino (12.38 g‚ 32.38 g‚ 42.38 g‚ 62.38 g‚ 82.38 g). Dependent Variable: Time taken of the domino effect. Controlled Variable: The number of dominoes used (8 dominoes)‚ the distance between the dominoes (2 cm)‚ the loads used as the initial

Introduction: Purpose: The Purpose of this experiment is to find the width of a piece of hair using diffraction pattern created by a thin film. Hypothesis: If the hair is human it will have a width of 10-4m. Procedure: 1. Place two pieces of glass flat against each other. 2. Obtain a piece of long hair‚ most likely from one group member’s head. 3. Place the hair between the sheets of glass on one edge. 4. Place a rubber band around the pieces of glass on the side opposite
