In addition, copies of the kilogram have changed over time by either gaining or losing weight as compared to the standard kilogram.”(DOE/Sandia…

At market day or day forty-two the disparity in total weight is large at almost seventy-five kilograms. Total body weight gives only a partial image of the difference and in order to see the full scale of the difference processed hot carcass weights and breasts weights must be examined. Graph 2 below contains the data for carcass and breast weights. The difference in hot carcass weights is about seventy-one kilograms and the difference in breast yield is almost thirty-one kilograms. The gap…

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)…
