Interpretations: 1. The time required for the objects with different masses to fall equal distances was equal. 2. The average speed of the two different masses was quite similar‚ within one tenth of a second of each other. 3. Yes‚ because physics theory says that objects free falling‚ where the only force acting on them is gravity‚ accelerate at the same rate no matter what their mass is. 4. The change in spacing of the dots tells us that the speed of the object is increased as it falls

Spokane‚ Washington. Viney and Fenton (1998) defined the term electrophoresis as‚ “the migration of charged particles through a static medium under the action of an applied electric field (p. 576). Just from this definition‚ it is clear that numerous physics concepts can be used to help explain why electrophoresis works. First‚ I will discuss charge and electric fields and how these principles are utilized in gel electrophoresis. This will be followed by a

Experiment 9: THE TANGENT GALVANOMETER; PURPOSE: In this experiment we will measure the magnitude of the horizontal component of the Earth’s Magnetic field by the use of an instrument called a tangent galvanometer. INTRODUCTION: A tangent galvanometer consists of a number of turns of copper wire wound on a hoop. At the center of the hoop a compass is mounted. When a direct current flows through the wires‚ a magnetic field is induced in the space surrounding the loops of

variable represents the length of the string and the dependent variable represents the period of one oscillation. The control variable is the mass of the pendulum. In this lab our goal was to see if we can prove if the acceleration due to gravity is 9.8m/s2. The R2 in this lab is closed to 9.8 m/s2 . The formula that we used in this lab is T=2πLg and then we solved for g=L(T2π)2. HYPOTHESIS: The gravity will be 9.81 m/s2 at sea level due to the acceleration. PROCEDURE: Materials: stopwatch‚ meter

The Relationship Involving Acceleration‚ Net Force‚ and Mass Giho Park Purpose The purpose of this lab investigation is to observe the relationship among the net force‚ mass‚ and acceleration of an object. Hypothesis/Prediction Part A If the net force increases with a constant mass‚ then the acceleration would increase‚ because the force would push the object to increase the velocity. Part B If the mass of the cart increases with a constant net force‚ then the acceleration would
