Experiment 2: Motion

Results:
PART 1: Distance In this portion, it was determined that as one walks away from the detector the slope is positive and becomes steeper the faster the motion. When there is movement towards the detector, the slope of the graph becomes negative.
PART 2: Graph Matching When there is no motion, the slope of the graph is zero. The slope of the graph represents velocity.
PART 3: Velocity At constant velocity, the slope of the graph is zero. When the velocity changed, the slope moved up or down depending on the movement. Vertical lines were not reproducible. It is not possible due to the velocity having to “jump” to another velocity. The

    1 University of the People Unit 5 Written Assignment Analyze the report and present a summary, in your own words, of the failures and your comments on them. A preliminary investigation of flight data showed: nominal behavior of the launcher up to H0 36 seconds; failure of the back-up Inertial Reference System followed immediately by failure of the active Inertial Reference System; swiveling into the extreme position of the nozzles of the two solid boosters and, slightly later, of the Vulcain engine, causing the launcher to veer abruptly; self- destruction of the launcher correctly triggered by rupture of the links between the solid boosters and the core stage. The origin of the failure was thus rapidly narrowed down to the flight control system…

    CONCLUSION: Two weeks ago, Soundings XVI performed Lab Experiment Number Two. Lab Experiment Number Two was similar to the previous, Lab Experiment Number One. The prompt was to compare the results of pennies dropped in water, versus the result of pennies being dropped into milk, both at 100 mL. The main purpose of this lab was to further discuss more scientific parts of this lab, such as the surface tension when the cylinder was close to overflowing for both the milk and water. Before performing this lab, my group and I created a hypothesis to reflect upon and to state what we believed would dictate the results.…

    Liver Lab By: Jonah Stillman Background Information: Catalase enzymes are inside of nearly every living organism that is exposed to oxygen. Some examples of catalase enzymes are bacteria, plants, and animals. The main job of a catalase enzyme is to catalyze the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide to water and oxygen. When an enzyme is exposed to hydrogen peroxide or certain other chemicals it is prone to react. Catalase enzyme reactions also depend on the temperature they are exposed to.…

    Introduction: Which substance melts ice the fastest? Most people might say salt because they are used to seeing salt poured on the roads in the winter, but what if there was another method that was more environmentally and financially friendly. My project will benefit the town, the government, and the people. Through a chemistry experiment, this project will test how different substances affect the melting speed of ice. The experiment will be testing the effects of salt, sugar, brine, sand, and nothing on the speed at which ice melts.…

    To find the velocity, the distance in micrometers was divided by the time in seconds. The acceleration was found by dividing the velocity (m/s2) by time (s). Finally, three different graphs were drawn from the data: graph of position vs. time, velocity vs. time, and acceleration vs. time and a best fit line was drawn for…

    After doing this experiment it was noted that the dependant variables were very similar on each right and left side of the visual field. The results of the first dependent variable (response time) shows that the participant was able to make a guess on each word in the visual field (independent variable) within 1.556 seconds. The dependant variables in the left visual field are marginally better than that in the right visual field. Responses to larger words in both visual fields appeared to take longer to guess and respond to correctly or not, than those with less letters. 3.…

    Happy Breach Experiment

    Design- In this experiment we selected the happy sack to use for our experiment, as this sort of ball doesn’t bounce when dropped to the ground and this then gives us more accurate data for us to compare with the theoretical time. To record the closest accurate time and distance we could get, the equipment we chose to use, were two stopwatches so that we could compare the human reaction times and a tape measure to correctly measure the distance that the ball is going to fall from; which counted down every 25cm. And the methods we used was keeping one variable the same, so the happy sack and changing another so the height, every 25cm. Improvements-…

    in a vacuum there is no air resistance at all, because there is no air. If I were in an evacuated chamber and dropped a feather and a bowling ball at the same instant, both would hit the level ground at the exact same time. That should give you a clue. However this is completely different than what we experience in everyday life, and that is due to air resistance.…

    This value was 0.67 error bars away from the estimated value of (19.5 ± 0.5) cm. Another result that can be obtained from the graph is the gradient. The expected gradient was -1 as can be seen in the above picture the gradient from the results was (-1.01 ± 0.02). This shows that the experiment is valid and performed accurately.…
