Independent Assessment Physics Lab (SL): Cantilever Flexion Cherno Okafor Mr. Ebrahimi SPH4U7 October 21st‚ 2012 Introduction Purpose: The purpose of this Physics Lab is to investigate what factors determine the amount of flexion of the cantilever. Hence‚ the objective is to establish a relationship between the length of a cantilever‚ which may give some insight into the physics of cantilevers. Hypothesis: If one increases the length of a cantilever‚ one would expect there to be an

Determine the acceleration in a quick sprint. Question What would the participant’s acceleration be if he/she sprints forward in a positive direction? Hypothesis/Prediction When a person sprints forward‚ it means he/she speeds up. Consequently‚ the acceleration should be positive. When the velocity accelerates at a constant rate‚ the acceleration should remain constant. Therefore‚ if the participant is moving toward a positive direction and the speed increases‚ then the acceleration should be positive

Introduction To graphically analyze motion‚ two graphs are commonly used: Displacement vs. Time and Velocity vs. Time. These two graphs provide significant information about motion including distance/displacement‚ speed/velocity‚ and acceleration. The displacement and acceleration of a moving body can be obtained from its Velocity vs. Time graph by respectively finding the area and the slope of the graph. Data Tables – Part I Displacement (m) Time (s) 0.10 m 0.37 s 0.20 m 0.586 s 0.30 m 0.761 s 0

Carbon is denoted by the symbol C‚ is part of group 14 on the periodic table‚ and is the fourth most abundant element in the universe (by mass). Carbon has an electron configuration of 1s2‚ 2s2‚ 2p2. With 4 valance shell electrons it is expected to form 4 bonds‚ this means carbon is tetravalent. However the s orbitals do not form the same type of bond (with other atoms) as the p orbitals‚ this is because their shapes are different. For example CH4 would have the following bonds: C(s)-H(s)‚ C(s)-H(s)

capacity = mass x specific heat. The specific heat is essentially a measure of how thermally insensitive a substance is to the addition of energy. Heat and temperature are really different quantities. Heat is a quantity of thermal energy‚ while temperature determines the direction and rate of heat transfer to the surroundings. It is possible for an object to have a very high temperature but contain very little heat and vice versa (physics 312). When a hot body is mixed with the cold body‚ the hot body

Grade 11 physics: SPH3U1-01 | Physics Lab Report | Specific Heat Capacity of Brass | | Jin Jin Shi | 2012/12/6 | Instructor: Mr. Nailer | I. Introduction The amount of heat required to raise the temperature of a solid body depends on its change in temperature (ΔT)‚ its mass (m)‚ and an intrinsic characteristic of the material forming the body called specific heat (cp). The heat is calculated from the equation II. Purpose The purpose of this laboratory is to determine

Chapter 4 Newton’s Laws Conceptual Problems 1 • While on a very smooth level transcontinental plane flight‚ your coffee cup sits motionless on your tray. Are there forces acting on the cup? If so‚ how do they differ from the forces that would be acting on the cup if it sat on your kitchen table at home? Determine the Concept Yes‚ there are forces acting on it. They are the normal force of the table and the gravitational pull of Earth (weight). Because the cup is not accelerating relative to the
