Guns are a simple idea‚ and work all the better because of it. To put it simply‚ gasses push a projectile out of a barrel. The gun hasn’t changed much since it was created in china centuries ago. Other than looks it has kept the same principle elements‚ the primer‚ the propellant‚ and the projectile (Leghorn). A primer is a small explosive that occurs when the trigger is pulled to light the propellant. Despite what many people think‚ the propellant doesn’t explode‚ it burns. It burns very quickly

height of a horizontally launched projectile affects the projectiles range. 2.0 Theory: Galileo showed an appreciation for the proper relationship between mathematics‚ theoretical physics‚ and experimental physics. Galileo discovered that a parabola was the theoretically ideal trajectory of an accelerated projectile in the absence of friction and other disturbances. Galileo agreed that there are limits to the validity of this theory and noted that a projectile trajectory which was close to the

Lab: investigating hooked law with springs Purpose: to find spring constants of different springs using the slope of a graph of change in heights vs. the weight force. Also‚ to be able to understand how spring constants change when you add springs in a series or paralle Pre lab predictions: We predicted that the graph of gravitational force (mg) as a function of stretch (delta x) would look like Data: Spring #1: y = 8.2941x + 0.0685 This table represents the different distances that

of the specialized underlying structures of these life-forms. In order for us to appreciate these special adaptation‚ we first need to know how a typical plant or an animal cell organelle behaves in different water and solute concentrations. In this lab‚ we will determine the effects of hypertonic‚ isotonic and hypotonic solutions on plant and animal cells. In general when an animals cell’s placed in hypertonic solution it shrivels; a plant cell on the other hand undergoes plasmolysis. When an animal

Toxicology Lab 1. In this investigation‚ a wide range of concentrations of Sodium Chloride (NaCl) solution were created and the effects that they had on radish seeds were tested. This ultimately created a doseresponse experiment in which it was detectable whether or not radish seeds were a reliable bioassay for the toxicity of NaCl. The goal of this experiment was to determine a correlation between toxicity and seed germination/radicle

Lab 5 The Diffraction Grating Chinua McDonald Objective: To measure the wavelength of light with a diffraction grating. Theory: The two types of diffraction gratings are the transmission and reflection gratings. They are made by ruling on a piece of glass or metal a number of evenly spaced lines with a fine diamond point. Diffraction phenomena can be analyzed in terms of Huygens’ principle‚ according to which every point on the wave front of a wave should be considered as a source

indicated by a very pale pink color. To calculate the molarity of NaOH‚ the following equation was used MNaOH x VNaOH = MKHP x VKHP therefore the molarity was .125 M. INTRODUCTION This lab experiment covers the preparation of standard solution and the acid/base titration. The first part of the lab is to prepare a standard solution of Potassium hydrogen per. A standard solution is a solution of known concentration‚ in which it is prepared using exacting techniques to make sure that the molarity

DETAILED EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN – SCANNING PROJECTILE IMPACT EVALUATION SYSTEM (SPIES) DEFINITION 1. The Scanning Projectile Impact Evaluation System (SPIES) is a visual miss distance scoring system designed for naval gunnery exercises. A rotating shuttered camera provides continuous panoramic surveillance of the impact area. Combining known camera location with impact and bearing Fall-Of-Shot (FOS) data provided by still-frame analysis of the recorded video provides range and bearing information

Moment of Inertia and Rotational Motion Garret Hebert PHY 2311 Tues 1:00 garret.hebert@hindscc.edu Abstract: During this lab we will study what rotational Inertia is and how different shapes of masses and different masses behave inertially when compared to each other. We will specifically study the differences of inertia between a disk and a ring. We will use increasing forces to induce angular acceleration of both a disk and a ring of a certain mass. We will then then measure the differences
