Kater’s Pendulum Thomas Markovich and Kapil Chhabria Departments of Physics University of Houston Houston‚ TX 77204-5006 (Dated: December 9‚ 2010) We experimentally determined the local gravitational constant using Kater’s Pendulum to provide the authors with experience in data analysis. In this manuscript‚ we rigorously derive the relevant equations from first principles with the appropriate expressions for the experimental uncertainty. We found that by assuming the periods were equal we were

In Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Pit and the Pendulum” Poe‚ the author of this story has made it to where there is a few elements that add suspense to the story. Isolation would be a key element in the story that I would say adds suspense to the story it is one of the key one’s because as he explains what’s happening in this dark room that there is no light up until the part where he is under the pendulum‚ anyway he uses suspense with the isolation by always changing what was going on along with a little

Gravity is the force that keeps objects close to the earth Not only does gravity keep objects close to the earth it also keeps the solar system revolving the sun Gravity was discovered by Isaac Newton Acceleration of objects that is due to gravity on Earth is 9.8 m/s Also‚ according to Mr. Newton’s First Law‚ once the egg was moving‚ it didn’t want to stop. The container of water interrupted the egg’s fall‚ providing a safe place for the egg to stop moving so you could recover it unbroken

Archimedes’ Principle: Experiment on finding the specific gravity of different materials. Pria Mae C. Cadiz ABSTRACT The students of Physics 11 Laboratory section B5 of Mapua Institute of Technology had conducted an experiment concerning Archimedes’ Principle to determine the density and specific gravity of solids and liquids applying Archimedes’ Principle. To determine the density of solids (Part A) and the specific gravity of two unknown liquid sample (Part B)‚ they had made use of platform balance

Z. K. L3 A THE SIMPLE PENDULUM • General Background: A mass m hanging from a string whose length is L and a pivot point on which this mass is fixed are what a simple pendulum (which was discovered during the 10th century by Ibn Yusuf) consists of. During the 17th century‚ it is developed by some physicist‚ especially by Galileo. When the mass hanging from the string is released with an initial angle‚ it starts to move with a periodic motion. The motion can be approximated as a simple

Daily Use of Physics Jason L. McDuffy University of Memphis Physics 1 (online) Project 1 Daily Use of Physics Physics is considered to be a powerful lens that helps people view the everyday world. Physics is reflected in the everyday phenomena‚ puzzles and toys that offer a variety of interesting challenges leading to deep and interesting problems that derive from science and mathematics. It provides us an understanding of energy‚ motion and explains these facts as

ACCELERATION: Good afternoon everyone! Our group will discuss about acceleration. But before that‚ what is acceleration? Acceleration is a vector quantity that is defined as the rate at which an object changes its velocity. An object is accelerating if it is changing its velocity. People will occasionally say that a person is accelerating if he/she is moving fast. Yet acceleration has nothing to do with going fast. A person can be moving very fast and still not be accelerating. Acceleration

Contents Defying Gravity M.C. Herden Abstract: This report will investigate two theories about gravity‚ these including Aristotle’s theory‚ of which states‚ the heavier the object‚ the faster it falls‚ alongside Galileo’s trialed theory; Two object of different masses‚ when dropped from the same height will reach the ground at the same time. Correspondingly‚ this investigation shall trail and prove correct Galileo’s theory of gravity. Introduction and Background: Gravity is the attraction

Experiment 10 – Enzymes Enzymes are proteins that act as catalysts for biological reactions. Enzymes‚ like all catalysts‚ speed up reactions without being used up themselves. They do this by lowering the activation energy of a reaction. All biochemical reactions are catalyzed by enzymes. Since enzymes are proteins‚ they can be denatured in a variety of ways‚ so they are most active under mild conditions. Most enzymes have optimum activity at a neutral pH and at body temperature. Enzymes are
