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

Technology Ohm’s law & resistors in parallel & in series Lab 4 Class: PHY 1434-E475 Due date: March‚ 13 20144 Group Names: Hisham Sageer Objectives: Our object is to confirm Ohm’s law by analyzing the dependence of the electrical current as a function of voltage and as a function of resistance. Also‚ we studied the current flow and voltage in series and parallel. Finally‚ the lab determined the equivalence resistance of series and parallel combination of resistors

4W Experiment to Verify Snell’s Law of Refraction and to Estimate the Speed of Light inside a Transparent Plastic Block 1. Preparation: a) Read about refraction of waves and Snell’s Law. b) Find the relation between the refractive index of a medium and the speed of light in that medium. c) Read about total internal reflection; especially the definition of the “critical angle of incidence”. 2. Using the special apparatus provided‚ measure the angles of refraction corresponding to a wide range of

PHYS 211 Physics for Science and Engineering Experiment 1: Projectile Motion Physics Lab Report 3 OBJECTIVE The objective of the experiment is to measure the speed at which a projectile leaves a spring gun and to predict the landing point when the projectile is fired at a nonzero angle of elevation. EQUIPMENT Spring gun Metal ball Protractor Meter stick Ruler Whiteboard markers THEORY Projectile motion is an example of motion with a constant acceleration. In this experiment

Objective: To study the conservation of energy and momentum using projectile motion. Theory: The ballistic pendulum demonstrates both the constant horizontal velocity in projectile motion and the conservation of momentum. Because there is no acceleration in the horizontal direction‚ the horizontal component (v_x) of the projectile’s velocity remains unchanged from its initial value throughout the motion. In a closed isolated system‚ if no net external force acts on a system of particles‚ the total

Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium One of the most difficult concepts to understand about the process of evolution is how changes in the genetic composition of a population affect the phenotypic composition of a population‚ and how both ultimately act to allow evolution of the species. Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution emphasizes that populations‚ not individuals‚ evolve. The purpose of my experiment was to test the allele and genotype frequencies. Alleles for a gene are represented by letters of

Impulse and Momentum Lab Part I: As the first lab of the Physics 2 curriculum‚ our class completed a lab experiment that introduced us students to a new concept that would be a foundation to the future topics that we learn in this class. In this lab activity‚ we used a lab cart on a flat track to compare the collision of the cart with a force sensor with and without the plunger during different trials. The materials that we would need for this activity are a lab cart on a flat track‚ a timer
