Physics of a Light Bulb Catherine Bellet Lab Partners: Natalie Russell Alex Harris TA: Chad Lunceford PHY 114 TH @ 2:25pm Abstract: Ohm’s law states‚ via the equation V=I*R‚ that the voltage found across a piece of material is proportional to the current. If the temperature remains constant therefore the resistance is found to remain constant. Stefan-Boltzmann law states that when the temperature if above an average of 1000K‚ then the relationship of voltage and current should be found

Therefore the sum of all the energies in the system is a constant. TMEinitial=TMEfinal 3. Explain the basic ideas that govern the design and operation of a roller coaster. A roller coaster is operated and designed through the application of Physics. The law of Conservation of Energy governs the changes in a coaster ’s speed and height. Simply put‚ the higher an object is off the ground‚ the more potential energy it has - that is‚ potential to gain speed as it falls. As it falls toward the ground

1.1 GRAVITY AND GRAVITATIONAL FIELDS 1.1.1 Define weight as the force on an object due to a gravitational field. Weight is the force experienced by an object due to the presence of a gravitational field. This force is directly related to the strength of the gravitational field acting on an object and the mass of that object. m = mass‚ g = acceleration due to gravity m = mass‚ g = acceleration due to gravity Fg = mg Fg = mg 1.1.2 Explain that a change in gravitational

A force can do one of four things to an object: 1. Make it speed up - accelerate. 2. Make it slow down - decelerate. 3. Change its direction. 4. Change its shape. If something is doing one of these four things there must be net force acting upon it. Newton’s First Law ’Every body continues in a state of rest or uniform motion unless acted upon by an external force.’ Something without net force acting on it will either stay still or move at a constant speed in a straight line until

Ideas about the solar system Our understanding of the solar system has changed over many centuries. Scientists such as Ptolemy‚ Copernicus and Galileo added their ideas to our changing understanding. We observe the universe using a variety of equipment‚ from telescopes to orbiters and landers. Models of the solar system The planets and the Sun orbit the Earth in Ptolemy’s model.
