    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

    Aim: To find the mass in grams (m) of a paperclip. Apparatus: Procedure: 1. Using a piece of string‚ the external circumference(C) of the small test tube was found and was then used to find A ‚ the cross sectional area of the small test tube A=C24π . 2. The beaker was placed under the test tube after it was clamped on the retort stand to collect excess water. The large test tube was filled with water. After which‚ the small test tube which had a fitted scale was placed inside to float

    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

    Lab Report 1: Measurement Lab Date: January 17‚20XX Lab Partners: XZ Report Date: January 24‚2014 Report Written by: XXXXXX Introduction: Measurement is a form of quantitative observation. The ability to make accurate and precise quantitative observations is crucial to science. Accuracy in this sense refers to the closeness of the measured result to the hypothetical “true” value (Motzny 2014). Having a precise measurement implies its exactness.
