An inclined plane is a flat supporting surface tilted at an angle‚ with one end higher than the other‚ used as an aid for raising or lowering a load. Inclined planes are widely used to move heavy loads over vertical obstacles; examples vary from a ramp used to load goods into a truck‚ to a person walking up a pedestrian ramp‚ to an automobile or railroad train climbing a grade. Inclined planes are widely used in the form of loading ramps to load and unload goods on trucks‚ ships‚ and planes. Wheelchair

Sam Preusser Mr. Staude U.S. History 25 April 2013 Truman Doctrine VS. Marshall Plan The years after the war brought times of disagreement and argument. The United States worked at this time to contain and control the spread of communism. During the years of WWII and the Cold War this idea was prominent and an issue America thought must be solved. Their were two strong attempts to fight communism. These attempts were the Truman Doctrine and the Marshall Plan. These ideas go hand in hand making

Determining a Person’s Power through height/work Power is denoted by the formula‚ P = mgh/t. In lifting a bag‚ work is done. So in order to get power we recorded our weight‚ measured the weight of the bag‚ and the time it took to lift a bag. The experiment is done in two ways 1) with constant time and 2) with constant height. In this way‚ we can compare and know if there will be a difference in the amount of power exerted by a person if either time or height will be constant. The formulated

Fawzi Abdelgani Ahmad . Experiment 1: Experimental Uncertainty (Error) and Data Analysis Jan/30/2013 PRELAB: 1. Do experimental measurements give the rule value of a physical quantity? Explain. No. Statistical methods are used to establish the deviations in the measurement. 2. Distinguish between random (statistical) error and systematic error‚ and give an example of each. Random errors are caused by unknown and unpredictable changes in the experiment like mechanical

To determine the heating and cooling curve of water Design: What we are going to do is investigate the phase changes and what the heating curve of water is. We are going to do this is by heating up 100ml of water on a Bunsen burner then adding ice cubes. Use a thermometer to measure the temperature every 30 seconds until it reaches a plateau. Hypothesis: As more time passes‚ the temperature of the water increases. Independent variable: Time Dependent variable: Changing water temperature

6. Applications * Is it possible to add heat to a body without changing its temperature? Yes. It is possible to add energy to a body (in the form of heat) and not raise its temperature by causing a phase change. When you heat ice it takes energy to convert it from ice to water‚ but does not change the temperature of the body until it is all converted. The principle behind this is what we call latent heat. It refers to the energy (or heat) required to change the state of a substance without changing
