Minela Sljoka Notes on Physics Inertia- tendency of an object to maintain motion. Property of matter. Not newton’s first law. Matter wants to maintain motion- moving objects want to stay in motion if stopped wants to stay stopped. Mass is measure of inertia. Things have mass because they have inertia. Units: kg Symbol m in equation. Inertia is most constantly called rest mass but we call it mass because we are dealing with speeds not going to speed of light. Kinetic Energy- v^2 is proportional

Kinetics of an SN1 reaction: the effect of solvent on rate Object The purpose of this experiment is to determine the rate of hydrolysis in acetone/water (50/50 v/v and 60/40 v/v). Background and Theory An SN1 reaction of tert-butyl chloride takes place in two steps. First‚ the Alkyl Halide will leave the molecule. In this step the bond is breaking‚ which takes a longer amount of time‚ so it will determine the rate of the reaction. As a result‚ it forms a tertiary carbocation‚ since this

Kinetic Theory Objectives • Describe how the kinetic-molecular theory is used to explain how gases behave at different temperatures. (Exploration 1) • Analyze data that shows how gas particle mass affects that gas’s behavior. (Exploration 2) • Describe the Maxwell-Boltzmann Distribution. (Explorations 1 and 2) Description of Activity The kinetic-molecular theory states that a collection of gas molecules’ average kinetic energy has a specific value at any given temperature

Aim: The aim of this experiment is to test if the rougher surfaces produce more friction and affects the distance travelled of a toy car. The aim of this experiment is to determine if the surface areas affect the distance travelled of a toy car by creating friction between the surface and object. The aim of this experiment is to determine if the surface areas affect the distance of a toy car due to the force of friction between the two objects. Hypothesis: From the basic research shown‚ there

Objective: Motion on an Incline with Friction The purpose of this experiment is to prove that the experimental acceleration value calculated is close to the theoretical acceleration values by finding the tension force‚ normal force‚ kinetic friction and the coefficient of kinetic force from the data collected. Theory: The forces acted on an object can be divided up into many different components depending on what the object is doing. In this experiment‚ an object is sliding up an incline plane

the system’s change in energy. Here‚ the object starts with kinetic energy [KE = (mv^2)/2] and friction brings it to rest by doing an equivalent amount of work. Work is‚ in this case‚ the product of the force of friction and the distance the object slides while coming to rest. Therefore‚ the distance the object slides is directly proportional to the kinetic energy of the object‚ and inversely proportional to the force of friction‚ i.e. d = (mv^2)/(2F). The 2-kg mass is half the mass of the
