The Physics and Components of Medieval Projectile Launchers Before the age of cannons‚ gunpowder‚ and modern warfare‚ projectiles were fired using machines generally identified as catapults. Civilizations in the middle ages were the ones to use the catapult the most‚ utilizing basic laws of physics to hit their target. We will look at different designs in catapults and how they function. Even today‚ launching projectiles is a lesson in physics. Catapults are no exception. From the great minds of

Santo Tomas ABSTRACT The experiment was executed in order to purify compounds through recrystallization. Recrystallization is the primary used operation for purifying solid organic compounds that differ in solubility at different temperature. It is a process of dissolving the solid to be crystallized in a hot solvent mixture and then cooling the solution slowly. The objective of the experiment is to purify crude acetanilide product. At the beginning of the experiment‚ materials and solutions needed

Experiment #4 (10/31/14) Lab Review Objective To introduce the basic molecules of life and to test for their presence in different substances. Introduction Macromolecules are in all forms of life. These organic compounds are carbohydrates‚ lipids‚ proteins‚ and nucleic acids. These are monomers and they link together into long chains that form polymers. Different reagents can be used to find the presence of these macromolecules. Proteins are made of carbon‚ hydrogen‚ oxygen‚ nitrogen‚ and sometimes

One World: Motion Topic: Write an article that explores how the Physics of Motion is (or can be) used to solve a specific problem in a local or global context. Millions of people everywhere around the world make use of the principles of motion to travel up and down quickly within a tall building. The use of elevators has been around since ancient medieval times since then has grown from being powered by a hoist and winder to electric and hydraulic motors1. An elevator

Curvilinear Motion Projectile Motion When the player hits the “Sepak”‚ the motion of the “Sepak” is called projectile motion. The “Sepak” itself is called projectile. The “Sepak” will follow a parabolic path called trajectory especially if air resistance is negligible. Two coordinates are usually used to describe projectile motion: horizontal and vertical axes. The horizontal distance traveled by the projectile is called the range. While the vertical distance‚ that is‚ the distance from where
