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

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 and constant.

The lesson is divided into 3 labs that can be completed in any order. After labs have been completed‚ facilitate a class discussion where students summarize and compare findings and relate how their findings support (or refute) Newton’s Laws of Motion LAB 1: How fast can it go? Put one car at the top of the ramp and let it roll down. Use a stopwatch to record the time the car rolled. Use this information to calculate the acceleration of the car. Measure the distance the car rolled using the

necessary to produce a temperature change of 1°C per gram of substance. The specific heats of different substances vary‚ and therefore this quantity may be useful in identifying an unknown. The measurement of heat changes is called calorimetry. In this lab activity‚ calorimetry will be used to determine the specific heat of an unknown metal. This will be done by using a styrofoam cup calorimeter containing water. A calorimeter is insulated so as to minimize any loss of energy to the surroundings. Therefore

Miriam Karunakaran Physics Honors Period 6 Physics Kinematics Lab Report Kinematics is the study of the motion of bodies without reference to mass or force. This lab aided students in observing kinematics by giving them a visual graph to look at from experiments previously performed. Variables used in this lab were “x” for position of the object‚ “v” for velocity of the object‚ and “a” for acceleration of the object. Understanding the graphical representation of

Introduction The purpose of this lab is to examine the motion of an electron‚ when it encounters a constant magnetic and electric field. We will also observe when the electric field and magnetic field will cancel each other out. This will lead to the electron having no net force acting upon it. By adjusting the values for the magnetic and electric fields‚ we will be able to check the different paths the electron follows. From this data we will be able to calculate the charge-to-mass ratio. Then
