Jessica Yan Rick St. Denis, Tyler Wiseman 13 September 2012 Projectile Motion: Ball in the Bin Purpose: The purpose of the experiment is to determine the velocity of a ball launched from the Projectile Launcher device, and then to use that velocity to find where on the floor the ball will land given a specific angle. Theory: Two-dimensional motion is as it sounds, made of the two components of Vertical velocity and Horizontal Velocity. Horizontal Motion can be described as constant, neglecting air resistance, and Vertical Motion is characterized by the acceleration of gravity pulling at 9.8m/s². In this particular experiment, the total velocity will be split into the two components in order to find the time in the air, and horizontal distance from the launcher. The motion of these components can be described as d=vt for constant horizontal motion, and d=1/2at² + Vit.
Replace the ramp as in Figure 3.1. Figure 3.1: Equipment Setup Mark with pencil Photogate Use a plumb bob to determine the point directly below where the ball will leave the edge of the table after rolling down the ramp. Measure the distance from the floor to the top of the table at the point where the ball leaves the table and record this value as dy. Ramp Ramp To measure the position where the ball will strike the floor after rolling down the ramp, tape a piece of plain paper onto the floor with a piece of carbon paper on top. The impact ® LED comes ON LED goes OFF Figure 3.2: Measuring Dd 9 Photogate Timers 012-06379A of the ball will leave a clear mark for measuring
The purpose of this experiment is to test the hypothesis of pen’s ink affect on termite navigation. If this hypothesis is true, termites will follow a pen ink line only, regardless of the color of the pen’s ink. Method On January 13, 2014 three worker termites were taken out of the nest at the Coastal Carolina Community College Biology section and put into a petri dish with a damp paper towel. The initial observation (a termite following a red circle made of ink) was replicated again for a closer look. After obtaining 5 sheets of white computer paper (21.5cm by 28cm), Test 1 was performed.

Add a bit of sugar to aluminum foil and fold the edges so it is covered from the sides. Record the physical properties of sugar. 2. Write a hypothesis on what you think will happen when heat is added. 3.
PK-S Lab 03 – Lab Report Name: ____________________ Section: ___________________ EXPERIMENT 3: Trigonometric Measurements Procedures: 1. Experimental measurement of the angles and sides of a right triangle: A. Create a triangle by taping a string against a wall and taping the bottom of the string to the floor or a table set against the wall. Make sure that the wall is perpendicular to the floor or table by measuring angle C, which should be 90o. B.
This table shows the magnitude found when using the rheostat portion of the experiment. Trial 4 V (v) | I (A) | 2.0 | .02 | 4.0 | .04 | 6.0 | .06 | 8.0 | .08 | 10.0 | 0.1 | 12.0 | 0.12 | 14.0 | 0.14 | 16.0 | 0.16 | 18.0 | 0.18 | 20.0 | 0.20 | Table 4. This table shows the magnitude found when using the Unknown resistor portion of the experiment. In order to find the data from the above tables, my partners and I
Answer the following questions: 1. Compare Aristotle's concept of inertia with the ideas of Galileo and Newton. In making your comparison, state the concept as each interpreted it (in your own words) and give the similarities and differences. Aristotle believed that the laws governing the motion of the heavens were a different set of laws than those that governed motion on the earth. As we have seen, Galileo's concept of inertia was quite contrary to Aristotle's ideas of motion: in Galileo's dynamics the arrow (with very small frictional forces) continued to fly through the air because of the law of inertia, while a block of wood on a table stopped sliding once the applied force was removed because of frictional forces that Aristotle had failed to analyze correctly.
We did the calculation after we finished the measurement and adjustment. The find day we make the graph of the contraption, and then do the final drop test. Problem of Statement: To design a device that will protect 1 large Grade AA raw egg from breaking when it is dropped from second floor. The device should have a light weight short egg removal time, and the most accurate drop to the drop zone target. Diagram of the Contraption: Prototype: The contraption after adjustments:
Both briefly touched on the discovery and then focused on more on the American astrologists that confirmed the findings and found some planets of their own. These articles mostly started my look into the subject and will give some brief information, but I also find others that dive more into the topic. By using articles by Walker, Burrows, and Lunine, I will examine the initial reaction of the scientific community in 1995 to this discovery and discuss some of the more technical aspects of 51 Pegasi B. I find it quite interesting how a planet can still exist so close to a sun and with surface temperatures exceeding 1,000 degrees Kelvin. This extreme survivability of 51 Pegasi B was thought to not be possible until its discovery, and now has astronomers rethinking the bases of their planetary understanding. The origin of 51 Pegasi B is also an extremely interesting story, as it is hard to believe that a planet could form so close to a star.
