Physics Lab Report#8 “Solving Problem Involving Vector Addition” Name: Fei Huo Date performed: November 12‚ 2014 Period 5 Teacher: Mr. Glasel Purpose: The purpose of this lab was to solve problems that involve the vector addition. Introduction: My classmates and I were solving the equations by graphing them and/or to solve them algebraically. Each of the equations had scales and we were to use these scales for each question in graph paper. Some if the questions didn’t need to

Technology Ohm’s law & resistors in parallel & in series Lab 4 Class: PHY 1434-E475 Due date: March‚ 13 20144 Group Names: Hisham Sageer Objectives: Our object is to confirm Ohm’s law by analyzing the dependence of the electrical current as a function of voltage and as a function of resistance. Also‚ we studied the current flow and voltage in series and parallel. Finally‚ the lab determined the equivalence resistance of series and parallel combination of resistors

4W Experiment to Verify Snell’s Law of Refraction and to Estimate the Speed of Light inside a Transparent Plastic Block 1. Preparation: a) Read about refraction of waves and Snell’s Law. b) Find the relation between the refractive index of a medium and the speed of light in that medium. c) Read about total internal reflection; especially the definition of the “critical angle of incidence”. 2. Using the special apparatus provided‚ measure the angles of refraction corresponding to a wide range of

Student: (Be sure to look over all your notes and be sure to know the following things) 1. Define Temperature‚ thermal energy and heat. 2. A 1.00 x 10²g mass of tungsten at 100°C is placed in 2.00 x 10²g of water at 20.0°C. The mixture reaches equilibrium at 21.6°C. Calculate the specific heat of tungsten. Cw = 4180 J/kg°C C= 171 J/kgOC 3. A certain metal has a specific heat of 400 J / kg oC. It absorbs 8000 J of thermal energy which causes its temperature to raise 10oC. How much

What is a Projectile? In Unit 1 of the Physics Classroom Tutorial‚ we learned a variety of means to describe the 1-dimensional motion of objects. In Unit 2 of the Physics Classroom Tutorial‚ we learned how Newton’s laws help to explain the motion (and specifically‚ the changes in the state of motion) of objects that are either at rest or moving in 1-dimension. Now in this unit we will apply both kinematic principles and Newton’s laws of motion to understand and explain the motion of objects moving

It was a day that my family‚ my friend and I went to Wildwood for vacation. We were at the rides and all of a sudden my friend and I saw the Slingshot ride. We thought it would be fun to go on. It was about $60 for 2 riders. Later on‚ we found my parents‚ we told them the cost‚ and my mom automatically said no. But then‚ I asked my dad and he said yes. We weren’t able to do it that night because they were doing work on the ride. The next day‚ we went to the waterpark‚ and after the waterpark‚ we

Projectile Motion PHYS111 Formal Report 2 University of Canterbury Campbell Moulder Abstract The force of gravity is said to be a constant of 9.81 ms-2 (3). This can be proved by measuring the projectile motion of a bouncy ball and plotting a ∆Vertical Velocity vs. Time graph‚ the gradient of which should equal the constant force (acceleration due to) of gravity. Our gradient value of 10.26±0.49 ms-2 is consistent with the actual value of 9.81 ms-2. Introduction A projectile is an

Impulse and Momentum Lab Part I: As the first lab of the Physics 2 curriculum‚ our class completed a lab experiment that introduced us students to a new concept that would be a foundation to the future topics that we learn in this class. In this lab activity‚ we used a lab cart on a flat track to compare the collision of the cart with a force sensor with and without the plunger during different trials. The materials that we would need for this activity are a lab cart on a flat track‚ a timer
