PHYS 221 Experiment M10 Harmonic Motion of a simple Pendulum Jacob LaMarre Group members: Josh‚ Courtney‚ Ashley Abstract: Determine the acceleration due to gravity using a pendulum. Introduction: A simple pendulum consists of a mass suspended by a length of string. When set Oscillating‚ the mass will have a period “T” given by the following equation. This equation shows the only variables that affect the rate at which the pendulum swings is the length “l” that is measured to the center

EXERCISE 8 - Rotational Dynamics‚ Equilibrium of rigid body 1. If the torque required to loosen a nut that is holding a flat tire in place on a car has a magnitude of 40.0 N m‚ what minimum force must be exerted by the mechanic at the end of a 30.0-cm lug wrench to accomplish the task? 133 N 2. A steel band exerts a horizontal force of 80.0 N on a tooth at point B in Figure 1. What is the torque on the root of the tooth about point A? 0.64 Nm 3. Calculate the net torque (magnitude and

Through a series of labs‚ we were able to extract and isolate our mitochondrial DNA‚ nuclear DNA‚ and cellular DNA to then amplify a part of an intron in the tissue plasminogen activator gene (TPA) through Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) and run on an agarose gel to detect the presence or absence of a transposable element known as an Alu element. The main purpose of this experiment was to use our class as a population‚ to test whether or not we were in Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium. The Hardy Weinberg

Miriam Karunakaran Physics Honors Period 6 Physics Kinematics Lab Report Kinematics is the study of the motion of bodies without reference to mass or force. This lab aided students in observing kinematics by giving them a visual graph to look at from experiments previously performed. Variables used in this lab were “x” for position of the object‚ “v” for velocity of the object‚ and “a” for acceleration of the object. Understanding the graphical representation of

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
