I. Temperature Measurement 1. A thermometric property is a physical property that changes in a known way with temperature‚ and can therefore be used to measure temperature. The substance used as a thermometer must have a property that varies proportionally / linearly with temperature. [ In other words: When objects are heated or cooled‚ their temperatures change‚ along with some of their properties‚ these properties are known as Thermometric Properties.] Two commonly used thermometric properties

Objectives: • To be able to explain how the photoelectric effect experiment works and why a photon model of light is necessary to explain the results. • To study the effect of intensity of light on photoelectric experiment. • To estimate the Planck’s constant‚ h through the simulation. • To be determine how to calculate the wavelength of light‚ the work function of the metal‚ or the stopping potential‚ if given the other two. Beginning with the plate made of sodium. Keep all the parameters

Introduction of Physics: Physics ("knowledge of nature") is the science concerned with the discovery and understanding of the most basic fundamental laws of the universe that control the way everything in the world around us behaves. Discoveries in basic physics have important ramifications for all of science. Physics attempts to describe the natural world by the application of logic scientific methods‚ including modeling by theoreticians. As a core scientific discipline‚ physics is concerned with

The Ballistic Pendulum Crime Lab Physics You are a criminologist‚ and have been given a gun which has been used in the commission of a crime. Both prosecution and defense claim that "muzzle velocity" (speed of the bullet as it leaves the gun) is crucial to the case. Your job...FIND IT! Shown below is a diagram representing a "ballistic pendulum." The bullet is fired into the block‚ the bullet-block combination rises by a height h as shown‚ a little physics is applied‚ and ...voila!...there

Student Project The Physics of Sports Instructions: One of the best (and most fun) ways to explore physics and how it relates to the real-world is through sports. Every sport utilizes multiple physics principles. For this project you will chose a sport and study the physics principles involved. The sport you choose must be an actual sport‚ not a computer simulation or animation You will create a short PowerPoint presentation (5 slides max) summarizing your project. The following outline is designed

mangonel‚ onager and ballista. There are many more types of catapults also. Catapults were an absolute revelation in weaponry. The mangonel was best suited for launching projectiles at lower angles to the horizontal‚ which was useful for destroying walls‚ as opposed to the trebuchet‚ which was well suited for launching projectiles over walls. However‚ the mangonel is not as energy efficient as the trebuchet for the main reason that the arm reaches a high speed during the launch. This means that a

Physics End of Year Reflection Paper At the beginning of this course you were given some overarching enduring understandings and essential questions. These were: Overarching Enduring Understandings: Students will uncover and use appropriate scientific models to describe and quantify the nature and interactions of matter and energy. Students should understand that there is a network of rules and relationships that determine what will happen in a given situation Students
