The following equation represents this relationship where k denotes the spring constant or stiffness of the spring, F=-kx Since x symbolizes the displacement or change in the length of the spring the above equation can now be surmised in the following manner, F=mg=-k∆l This new form makes it evident that a linear proportion exists between the plot of F as function of changing in length, ∆, thus confirming the spring does in fact obey Hooke’s Law. This enabled the group to determine the spring constant k. B. Derivation of Equations Definitions To gain a better understanding of the terms used here
5. Compute a linear least-squares-fit of the calibration data and plot the resulting line on the same graph as the calibration data. Comment on the linearity of the pressure transducer and scannivalve. Part 3: Calibration of the Tunnel 1. Connect the micromanometer (calibrated in Part 2) across the wind-tunnel contraction in order to measure the static pressure drop.
Pre Lab Objective: The purpose of this lab is to obtain the mass and volume of two different metal samples, to graph data, to obtain the slope of graphed data and to display a best fit curve of experimental data in order to graphically determine the density of each metal Background: Understanding the relationship that exists between a substance’s mass and its volume. This relationship is expressed by the physical property called density. (D = M/V). In order to determine the volume of solids, a technique called water displacement is used. A fixed amount of water is added to a graduated cylinder and the volume of water is recorded.
The value of the force constant for the spring is most nearly (A) 0.33 N/m (B) 0.66 N/m (C) 6.6 N/m (D) 33 N/m (E) 66 N/m 4. A block of weight W is pulled along a horizontal surface at constant speed v by a force F, which acts at an angle of with the horizontal, as shown above. The normal force exerted on the block by the surface has magnitude (A) W F cos (B) WFsin (C) W (D) W + Fsin (E) W + Fcos 5. When the frictionless system shown above is accelerated by an applied force of magnitude the tension in the string between the blocks is (A) 2F (B) F (C) F (D) F (E) F 6. A push broom of mass m is pushed across a rough horizontal floor by a force of magnitude T directed at angle as shown above.
Finally, we analyze the errors in both parts of the lab by propagation by substitution and compare the theoretical-experimental values using errors. III. Results: The theoretical buoyant forces for the sphere, the small cylinder, the block, and the big cylinder are 0.297N, 0.131N, 0.369N, and
Name: 6.03: Calorimetry Data and Observations: Part I: Insert a complete data table, including appropriate significant figures and units, in the space below. Also include any observations that you made over the course of part I. (4 points) I observed that when the metal is placed inside the calorimeter, it transfers heat to the water making the water increase temperature while the metal will decrease temperature. I also noticed that the system was the metal and the surroundings is the water, this is because the water is taking in the heat from the metal making the water warm.

* Smart pulley, used at the end of the track as a pulley system between the bigger and smaller masses. Principles The principles used in the experiment would be Newton’s Second Law, which says that the behavior of objects under a net force is Fnet=ma, and net force is the sum of all forces acting on an object, Fnet=F. The experiment also uses principles of Tension “T” and the force of gravity “Fg”, which is equal to 9.8 m/s². Procedure Part A * Take the mass of the cart: 253.0 g * Add a 10g weight to the 1.0 g paper clip, making smaller mass 11.0g * Record the slope of the line of run #1 after releasing the cart to the end of the track. (y = 0.355x + 0.119) * Repeat with another 10g weight, making smaller mass 21.0g * Record the slope of the line after run #2 (y = 0.672x + 0.155) * Repeat with another 10g weight, making smaller mass 31.0g * Record the slope of the line after run #3 (y = 0.966x + 0.268) * Repeat with another 10g weight, making smaller mass 41.0g * Record the slope of the line after run #4 (y = 1.27x + 0.135) * Repeat with another 10g weight, making smaller mass 51.0g * Record the slope of the line after run #5 (y = 1.46x + 0.294) * Calculate the acceleration for each run using a =
Newton’s second law of motion is expressed as a mathematical equation: Fnet = ma (Force = mass*acceleration) A significant notion of this equation is that an object accelerates in the direction of the new force, and acceleration is created by the net force. The SI unit for force in the above equation is Newton (N), SI unit for accelerations is metre per second squared (m/s2) and the SI unit for mass is kilograms (kg). The objective of this experiment was to show the relationship between acceleration and force in a frictionless environment and to show the concept of mass (Lab#1). Other equations used in this experiment were: V22 = V12 + 2ad; used to find the acceleration for each weight V1 = Lt1 and V2 = Lt1; both used to find the acceleration Materials * Two vernier photogate timers * String * Glider * Blower * Air—cushioned track * Weights and Hanger * Pulley and clamps * Vernier Lab Pro Procedure and Observations 1. Two photogate timers, 60 cm apart, were set over the air track.
I then measured hot tap water versus boiling water, and then cold tap water versus water with ice, and recorded the temperature that was read on the thermometer, and then converted the temperature from Celsius (C), to Fahrenheit (F), and Kelvin (K). To understand how to measure mass, the lab required the following material: pen or pencil, 5 pennies, 3 quarters, 4 dimes and a key. Then I used the digital scale to measure the following objects to obtain its mass and recorded the data. For exercise 2, volume, density and concentration, I started off measuring the graduated cylinder to get its mass. From that mass, I was
