Kalia Townsend Earth Science A2 5/28/14 ECCENTRICITY LAB REPORT Keplar’s First Law of Planetary Motion: The orbit of every planet is an ellipse with the sun at one of the foci. The purpose of this lab is to demonstrate Keplar’s First Law of Planetary Motion by calculating the eccentricity of ellipses. The 3 main words that were important in this lab exercise was eccentricity‚ ellipse‚ and foci. Eccentricity means the degree of ovalness of an ellipse or how far an ellipse is from being a circle.

AP Physics Slinky Velocity Lab Group: Asaf Yankilevich‚ Lily Greenwald‚ Yaeli Eijkenaar‚ Michal Antonov 2/23/15 Materials ● Slinky ● Spring weight ● Force measurer ● Measuring Tape ● Timer Procedure 1. The first slinky’s mass was weighed‚ using a scale‚ and its tension was measured using a force measurer 2. The slinky was stretched to 4m. 3. The linear mass density was solved for‚ by dividing the mass by the length. 4. The theoretical velocity was solved for‚ using the equation

Simple Harmonic Motion Lab Report In this lab‚ I will study the principles of simple harmonic motion using an oscillating pendulum. If I were to design an experiment that would help me study the properties of an oscillating pendulum and investigate what causes a pendulum to swing faster or slower‚ I would prepare several masses (e.g. 20g‚ 50g‚ 100g‚ 200g‚ etc.) that can be attached to a string‚ several strings of varying lengths from 0.1m to 1.0m that are strong enough to support the weight of the

top of the cup‚ the shorter the distance of the cup moved and it included all of the three Newton’s laws. My hypothesis actually turned out to be accurate. It’s really fascinating that how only 1 experiment can prove all of Newton’s three laws of motion just like that. When the marble was getting released from the ramp I observed it hitting the cup and surprisingly the cup didn’t fall off or changed directions it went in a straight path. For 1 penny we got the longest distance such as 4cm for trail

AP Physics C - Homework Two Dimensional Motion 1. A particle moves along the parabola with equation Y = ½x2 shown below. a. Suppose the particle moves so that the x-component of its velocity has the constant value vx = C; that is‚ x = Ct i. On the diagram above‚ indicate the directions of the particle’s velocity vector v and acceleration vector a at point R‚ and label each vector. ii. Determine the y-component of the particle’s velocity as a function of x. iii. Determine

The purpose of this lab was to learn about Newton’s laws of motion by completing an experiment‚ to see how the forces act on objects. The independent variable of this experiment is the type and amount of materials used for the interior of the vehicle (out of the material list) and how they were used. The dependent variable is how and if the interior of the vehicle protected the egg from getting cracked. The controlled variables of this experiment were the height that the vehicle was dropped from

For Lab 1‚ my partner and I will be demonstrating the law in which connects the period of the pendulum‚ expressed as T‚ to the length of the string‚ expressed a L. The system the lab will be based on will include a pendulum with a weight of W suspended at a fixed point by the string with a variable length of L and an angle theta to be measured using a protractor. The variable T will be measured as the period of time needed for the weight of the pendulum to swing back and forth once. For part 1 of
