Experiment 1: Pressure, Temperature, and Velocity Measurement Objective: The objective of this experiment is to determine the pressure and density of laboratory air, calibrate a pressure transducer and scannivalve, then determine the test section speed as a function of fan speed using three methods of velocity measurement. Equipment: Absolute pressure transducer, digital thermometer, pressure transducer (voltmeter), micromanometer, scannivalve, Pitot tube, low-speed wind tunnel. Part 1: Measurement of Atmospheric Pressure and Density 1. Read the barometer and wind-tunnel thermocouple. 2.
As the vibrating string moves in the forward direction, it begins to push upon surrounding air molecules, moving them to the right towards their nearest neighbor. This causes the air molecules to the right of the string to be compressed into a small region of space. As the vibrating string moves in the reverse direction (leftward), it lowers the pressure of the air immediately to its right, thus causing air molecules to move back leftward. The lower pressure to the right of the string causes air molecules in that region immediately to the right of the string to expand into a large region of space. The back and forth vibration of the string causes individual air molecules (or a layer of air molecules) in the region immediately to the right of the string to continually vibrate back and forth horizontally.
As a reverse DC voltage is applied across the diode, its capacitance varies. The higher the voltage, the less the capacitance. This is due to depletion layers of the diode junction, but we wont get into details here. This variable capacitor in conjunction with the stub, which is actually an inductor (coil) is the basis of our voltage controlled oscillator! As the voltage increases across D5, the frequency of oscillation increases.
This extreme pressure change makes the iso bars compact together creating fast moving winds and causing wind speeds to increase to even out the air pressure. 3. Describe the changes in central pressure and sustained wind speed between 29 and 30 August 2005? The air pressure from august 29th to august 30th changed from 904mbars to 985 mbars. While the air pressure increased the winds decrease as iso bars spread apart and wind is no longer moving at an abrupt pace.
The stronger the magnet the greater the field. The static magnetic field can have mechanical effects on the pacemaker. It has been known to effect certain parts of the pacemaker allowing it to revert to different intervals of pacing. It also has the ability to reprogram or reset the device all together. The static magnetic field exerts a magnetic force that can dislodge the pacemaker leads.
To determine psub and pdesign, since A* = Athroat, use the subsonic and supersonic Mach numbers corresponding to isentropic flow with area ratio Aexit/Athroat: where Masub and Madesign are the subsonic and supersonic solutions, respectively, of Figure 1. CD nozzle theory For back pressures between psub and pdesign there are shocks inside the nozzle or in the exit jet. At pshock-exit a shock occurs at the exit plane. This value can be computed by assuming a normal shock with upstream values pdesign and Madesign and downstream pressure pshock-exit: The maximum mass flow rate occurs when the throat is sonic: Where, p = pressure; p0 = total pressure; Ma = Mach number; Γ = ratio of specific heat
Purpose: When light travels through different mediums, it is being refracted. The purpose of this lab is to test Snell’s law of refraction. Hypothesis: The angles of refraction that I predicted from the angle of incidences by using Snell’s Law are below on the predicted angle Column. To obtain these values I used the index of refraction of crown glass because it is more likely close to the glass (plexiglass) that we are using. Angle of Incidence 0° 10° 20° 30° 40° 50° 60° Predicted angle of refraction 0 6.56° 13.0° 19.2° 25.02° 30.27° 34.74° Variables and Controls: Independent Variable: The angle of the light coming from the ray box or the angle of incidence Dependent Variable: The angle of refraction on the plexiglass.
19/04/12 Physics Lab Report : determination of Terminal Velocity Maksym Panas This lab investigates the velocity of a ball bearing falling through glycerin. A small metal ball bearing was released into tube,140 cm long, containing glycerin. When released , the bearing accelerated to terminal velocity and than maintained the speed until the bottom of the tube. I decided to find the clearings terminal velocity by comparing the distance taken for t to travel through the glycerin and the time taken to do so. Research Question : What is the terminal velocity of a ball bearing in glycerin?
Experimental Design Focus question: What is the relationship between strain and time? Hypothesis: The more springs added, the mass will vibrate quicker. The more mass added, the longer it will take to vibrate. Vice versa, the more springs taken away, the longer the mass will take to vibrate. The more mass taken away, the quicker it will vibrate.
Inside a speaker: 1. Cone 2. Electromagnet (coil) 3. Permanent magnet The frequency of the vibrations governs the pitch of the sound produced, and their amplitude affects the volume – turn your stereo up high enough and you might even be able to see the diaphragm covering the cone move. To reproduce all the different frequencies of sound in a piece of music faithfully, top quality speakers typically use different sized cones dedicated to high, medium and low frequencies.
