ACTIVITY: THE CAT’S MEOW / MILK CO-MOTION PURPOSE: To observe the interaction of detergent with the fat of the milk and food color 1. Provide a possible explanation of phenomenon you observed based on the result of your experiment. When food color is added to milk‚ it floats because it is less dense than milk. The non-polar fat in the milk prevents the food color from spreading‚ as it cannot participate in hydrogen bonding with water. When detergent is added to milk and the food color‚ the

of Motion states explains that a force is needed to change the motion of an object. It states that objects do not move or change their speed unless a force acts upon them. The first law applies to gymnastics in some areas‚ particularly on the bars and the balance beam. For example‚ on the bars when a gymnast performs a giant she is doing complete revolutions around the high bar while keeping her body straight. In order to begin this skill she had to apply some force to get into the motion of the

study was changing. What causes something to accelerate? In this lab you will investigate the forces that affect the motion of objects. Gravity Materials: <!--[endif]-->Something to toss (Please choose an object that will not break) Toss an object straight up into the air and catch it as it falls back down. Carefully watch the objects vertical position as a function of time. Repeat your toss enough times that you are sure that you understand the motion of the object.

Damped Harmonic Motion Erica Partner: Steven November 8‚ 2012 Abstract During this experiment‚ the effects that the size of an object had on air resistance were observed and determined. To do this‚ a spring was set up with a circular object hanging at the end. After the spring constant of 9.0312 N/m was measured‚ equations were used to determine a calculated frequency‚ that being 7.252 Hz. Four trials—each with a different sized‚ same massed object—took place where the object was pulled

How does the mass of a ball affect the distance it will travel ? Exploring Newtons 2nd Law of motion. Background Research How does changing the mass of an object effect how far it will travel ? This question can be answered by Newtons 2nd law of motion; Force equals mass multiplied acceleration (F= ma). This law states that a force on an object will cause it to accelerate in the direction of the force. The greater the force exerted on the object‚ the greater the acceleration. But how does

on the second object. Interaction between the hammer and nail A hammer exerts a force on the nail and drives it into a board . But this is not the only force present for there must also be a force exerted on the hammer to stop it in the process. What exerts this force? The nail does. Newton reasoned that while the hammer exerts a force on the nail ‚ the nail exerts a force on the hammer. So‚ the interaction between the nail and the hammer‚ there is a pair of forces ‚ one acting on the nail and

Matthew Mannetta Simple Harmonic Motion Lab Report Introduction Simple harmonic motion is the motion of a mass on a spring when it is subject to the linear elastic restoring force given by Hooke’s Law. In this lab‚ we will observe simple harmonic motion by studying masses on springs. In the first part of this lab‚ you will determine the period‚ T‚ of the spring by observing one sliding mass that is attached to two springs with the spring constant k‚ and attached to a hanging mass by a string

top of the cup‚ the shorter the distance of the cup moved and it included all of the three Newton’s laws. My hypothesis actually turned out to be accurate. It’s really fascinating that how only 1 experiment can prove all of Newton’s three laws of motion just like that. When the marble was getting released from the ramp I observed it hitting the cup and surprisingly the cup didn’t fall off or changed directions it went in a straight path. For 1 penny we got the longest distance such as 4cm for trail

Simple Harmonic Motion Lab Report In this lab‚ I will study the principles of simple harmonic motion using an oscillating pendulum. If I were to design an experiment that would help me study the properties of an oscillating pendulum and investigate what causes a pendulum to swing faster or slower‚ I would prepare several masses (e.g. 20g‚ 50g‚ 100g‚ 200g‚ etc.) that can be attached to a string‚ several strings of varying lengths from 0.1m to 1.0m that are strong enough to support the weight of the
