Fundamental physics concepts

The FTIR spectrum of PVA/CS nanofiber was shown in Fig. 1(a). The band at 3255.32 cm−1 was corresponded to -OH stretching and the peaks at 1025.6 and 1450.04 cm−1 for the -C-O band. The peaks at 3445.32 cm-1, 2965 cm-1, 1640.01cm-1, 1598.7 cm-1, and 1361 cm-1 are due to amine NH symmetric vibration, C-H vibration, deformation vibration of the absorbed water molecules, stretching vibration of amino group of chitosan and vibration of C-H, respectively. The peaks at 890.1 and 1100 cm-1 was…

Ferroelectricity Among the ferroelectric materials, the static dielectric constant depends on the temperature under the relation: Curie – Weiss relation: €r = P + Q/ (T-Tc), (T> Tc), P, Q are constants temperature independent. C = Curie constant Tc = Curie temperature A transition in phase is observed at temperature Tc. Above this, the material remains in Paraelectric phase (the phase where the elementary dipoles of different crystal unit cells are…

The purpose of this lab was to analyze and examine periodic trends of the first 36 elements that are on the periodic table. Trends that were analyzed and examined are the atomic radius (AR) and the first ionization energy (IE) of the 36 elements. The hypothesis for this lab was that the elements that are in the groups that had the highest atomic radius would be in the same groups as those who have the the highest first ionization energy and the groups who have the lowest atomic radius would be…

EXPERIMENT # 1 INVESTIGATION OF FOURIER’S LAW FOR LINEAR CONDUCTION IN ONE DIMENSION ALONG A SINGLE BAR Theory: Fourier’s Law of Heat Conduction: It states that, “Flow of heat per unit is proportional to the temperature difference per unit length.” i.e. Q ̇/A=-k(dT/dx) By re-writing above relation, Q=dT/(dx/kA) Where, dx/kA=Conductive Resistance of the material Properties of “K”: It is a material property and a function of temperature. It may be different in different orientations. Observation…

TASK 12: Anything that has a mass and takes up space is known as matter. Energy is what can cause a change to matter. As energy cannot be created or destroyed, it gets stored or transferred. Kinetic energy is what a substance possesses due to it being in motion. The kinetic theory of matter states that matter is made up of small particles that are constantly in motion with spaces between them. (Andrew Rader Studios. Matter is the Stuff Around You. 1997-2015) There are 3 main phases of matter…

Temperatures Affect on Magnetism Magnetism is when an object has a magnetic force, field, or a pull on another object.Temperature plays a large role in the strength of magnetism, and more importantly how a magnet reacts towards temperature. One can describe temperature as how hot or cold an object is. Temperature is ultimately how fast the molecules in an object are moving. The faster the molecules in an object are moving, the more heated the object becomes. Magnetism is when an object has a…

The purpose of the experiment, “Charge to Mass Ratio for an Electron”, was to measure the charge-to-mass ratio (e/m) for an electron. This lab was performed to help students further understand the characteristics of an electron in regards to various things such as its magnetic field strength and velocity. By using a Daedalon (e/m) Apparatus paired with Helmholtz coils and a glass bulb filled with helium gas, students were able to observe electrons travelling in a circular path. This is due to…

The concept of energy is very important to know because it is used in everyday life. Energy is used when getting out of bed just to dread going to school, heating up left overs, and even boiling some water. Energy cannot be destroyed or created, only passed from one object to another. A great example of energy is the transfer of heat. An ice cube sitting in the hand of a person can show energy at work. Heat from the hand causes the cube to melt and change forms into liquids. To understand energy…

Stage Four: Protostar By this stage of the stars evolution, 100,000 years after the process began, it can now be plotted on the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram, which is used to compare the many different stars. Although it is still not fully formed, we are able to determine the type of star it will become based on its luminosity and temperature. In the nucleus of the condensed cloud, which could now fit within the orbit of Mercury at less than 58,000,000 km wide, electrons and protons are ripped…

Chemistry behind underwater diving Name: Date: Teacher: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scuba_diving Table of contents Introduction Underwater diving has been a fascination of mankind for hundreds of years yet we have only recently figured out how. This is through the invention of scuba gear. Generally this is believed to be just a large can filled with oxygen which you could use to breathe through. However it isn’t quite that simple. Due to underwater pressure…
