* To increase the accuracy of the height of the ball-drop one can perform the experiment by the wall where markings according to our requirements of the ball drop can be made. * Air resistance can also greatly affect the experiment due to which this practice has to be performed in a closed room and fans should be switched off at all times so as to reduce air resistance to the minimum . * To keep the mass constant use the same

Grade 9 Science – Trolley Lab -‐ Luca Weller – AOI: Environment – 17/9/13 D.4 Materials: -‐1 trolley that will be accelerated -‐1 string to connect the trolley and the weights (ca. 2m) -‐1 set of weights that will accelerate the trolley (up to 5N) -‐1 a.m
Premium Acceleration Mass Kinematics
the acceleration due to gravity (or g) is approximately 9.8m/s2 [down] or -9.8m/s2 [up]. What we are trying to do is design an experiment to measure and confirm this value. Our plan was to drop an object from a reasonable height and use a ticker tape timer to measure the amount of time and distance travelled between each time. The weight of the object used would have to be heavy enough that it would not be affected by air resistance. For example‚ you shouldn’t use a piece of paper because due to

Measurement of the distance‚ the thickness and the radius of curvature Purpose : To learn how to use vernier caliper‚ micrometer and spherometer to measure internal and external diameters of a pipe‚the thickness of a copper rods‚ and the radius of curvature of spherical lenses. 1) Vernier caliper: As shown in Fig. 1 the main fixed scale in the vernier caliper has 1 mm gradations while th sliding scale (vernier scale) has 0.05 mm gradations. The smallest division of vernier scale is called

Center of Gravity The point in a body or system of bodies at which the whole mass may be considered as concentrated. When an object’s weight is distributed uniformly‚ the center of gravity lies at its geometrical center. For irregular shaped objects‚ the center of gravity is near to the concentration of its mass. Equation: Where: X= center of gravity xi= distance of the objects from fulcrum or arbitrary axis mi= mass of the object Sample Problems 1.) Suppose your lab partner has
