Mass

During the course of this practical, the different factors of a pendulum will be investigated. A pendulum is a mass held from a fixed point so it is able to swing freely, the mass swings back and forth in an arc. The formula for finding the period of a certain pendulum lies in the change of the length of string suspending the mass, and the force due to gravity where the pendulum is being used. This relationship is shown in the equationT=2π√( L/g) (Sean, 2010), as the length of the string…

the Acceleration and gravity is the same because it was dropped and not thrown which means that the speed it will fall will be 9.81 m/s. By combining all of the data, the egg speed was found, it was 9.81 m/s identical to gravity, also, the vessel’s mass, and the density of the object was very light and was able to protect the egg and leave it without a…

Atomic mass: the mass of an atom of a chemical element expressed in atomic mass units; approximately equivalent to the number of protons and neutrons in the atom (the mass number) or to the average number allowing for the relative abundances of different isotopes Molar mass: a physical property defined as the mass of a given substance (chemical element or chemical compound) divided by the amount of substance Mole: the amount of a substance contained in 6.02 x 10²³ particles of that substance…

result of an external force acting on it. The boat was designed according to Newton’s second law of motion. To create a greater acceleration rate, a carton of milk was used. The carton is very low in mass which allows for greater acceleration since the acceleration is inversely proportional to the mass of the…

unhappy, and unconfident about their own body can lead to an unhealthy lifestyle down the road. This feeling of depression could lead to dangerous malnutrition to the human body. Men also have problems with their body image such as their own muscle mass. Several men try to gain weight by either continually working out or constantly eating meat to turn into muscle. Using steroids helps build muscle faster for men, but its use is not healthy. The use of harmful drugs, starvation, and insecurity…

bullet, it will then have more mass causing it to not go as far as a paper bullet with less mass. This shows that a paper bullet will travel a shorter distance if it has more mass and a farther distance if it has less mass. The data overall proves that the original hypothesis was correct because the paper bullets with more mass traveled less distance than the paper bullets with more…

Sir Isaac Newton’s second law, acceleration is produced when a force acts on a mass. The greater the mass (of the object being accelerated) the greater the amount of force needed(needed to accelerate the object). Everyone unconsciously knows the second law. Everyone knows that heavier objects require more force to move the same distance as lighter objects. The second law gives us an exact relationship between force, mass, and acceleration. It can be expressed as a mathematician equation, the…

Research: According to Newton 's Second law when force is increased acceleration increases assuming that mass stays constant. a=F/m Purpose: The purpose of this lab is to prove when force increases acceleration also increases. The independent variable is amount of force applied to the Lenny Board and the dependant variable is the acceleration of the Lenny Board. 3 controlled variables are mass, surface of testing, and the Lenny Board (the weight, the amount of grease on the bearings, ECT)…

acceleration of a cart both with and without added mass. In a sense we will be seeking to confirm Newton's second law of motion. As stated in the second law of motion, force is equal to mass multiplied by the acceleration or F=ma. When we increase the mass we would expect the acceleration to decrease when force is the same as the rewritten equation would be f/m=a. In this case it is important to specify the difference between mass and weight. Scientifically mass is the amount of matter in a…

Objective: The purpose of this lab was to examine Newton 's second law by observing the relationship between force and acceleration in a friction-free environment and to illustrate the concept of mass. The experiment was conducted in such a way to reduce friction. In order to simulate this environment an air-cushioned track was set-up for the glider to ride on a pocket of air without being in contact with the metal track. In addition, this glider will have masses attached to it as well as a…
