Rube Goldberg Project For this Rube Goldberg project I am going to explain how my machine worked. My simple task was to pop a balloon. The item we used to pop the balloon was a mousetrap. I am going to go step by step through how I created my Rube Goldberg machine. First, we started out with a ramp that we dropped the ball on. That was our potential energy. Next, we had a ball drop down a tub at approximately 180°. That was mechanical energy. After that, the ball went through an elbow and…

In the first experiment, the acceleration of a falling mini-basketball, the results gathered disagreed with my predicted outcome. Originally, I could not imagine how the graph might appear. I could not visualize an object falling and what its acceleration, position, and velocity might be on the graph. However, after completing the first experiment, I realized that the graphs would look somewhat the same in relation to the basketball since this object was not affected as much as the lighter…

Bouncy balls bounce because the material of the ball is extremely elastic and can convert kinetic energy from falling into potential energy and back into kinetic energy again with little loss of momentum. They are used in many classrooms because they can easily demonstrate conservation of momentum through a highly elastic collision. Like many things made out of rubber, bouncy balls have very high elasticity, meaning they rapidly return to their resting state after being stretched or squashed. If…

Catalysts and Inhibitors work by providing an alternative reaction pathway for the breaking and remaking of bonds in chemical reactions, changing the speed of the reaction. They are neither consumed in the reaction. Rather, they alter the amount of activation energy required. Different reactions require different catalysts, as well as different reactions require different inhibitors. The reaction energy path controls the speed of the reaction. The molecules follow the path of least resistance,…

Stoichiometry is known as the quantitative relationship between various products and reactants in a chemical reaction. There are many ways one can stoichiometry in his/her advantage. If you start off with a known amount of reactant, stoichiometry can definitely be used to make a prediction to the amounts of the future product that will be formed. And in the other side, if you has a desired amount of product want, you can use stoichiometry to predict of on how much reactant you will need to…

1. Iodide proved to be the more reactive nucleophile in this reaction. This nucleophile was faster than Chloride, because on the periodic table, Iodine has a bigger atomic size, while Chlorine has the higher electronegativity, but size trumps electronegativity, as according to ARIO rules. This means that Iodine is more acidic than Chlorine, which means that in the reaction, the Iodide could displace the Bromine from the 1-bromooctane, because it has a bigger size, much faster than the Chloride,…

Welcome to the Loop-Dy-Loop!!! This roller coaster is found in the beautiful area of Hersheypark inside the water park. The roller coaster, is filled with many twists, turns, and loops. This roller coaster is not just any roller coaster, it has a fabulous view of the whole park. The tallest point on this ride, where you feel the highest potential energy, is over 4,586 feet tall. This ride is over four football fields long!! While you are waiting in line you can see that the cars have three rows…

Chemical change is any change that results in the formation of new chemical substances. Chemical changes take place on the molecular level. Another way to think of it is that a chemical change accompanies a chemical reaction. To find if a Chemical Change is occurring you need to determine whether a new substance has formed because of the change. If a new substance has been produced, then a chemical change has occurred. The new substance formed in a chemical change could be a solid, liquid or…

Roller coasters with loop-the-loops are generally rides that appeal to thrill seekers, however without the use of dynamics, these rides would not be able to function. A roller coaster loop-the-loop is a type of large scale centrifuge, as one approaches the loop, the rider's inertial velocity is straight ahead. However the track of the roller coaster keeps the car and therefore the rider, from travelling in a straight path. The force of a rider's acceleration pushes them from…

Purpose The purpose of this experiment is to identify the rate constant in kinetics reactions during the t-butyl chloride convert into hydrolyzed. Theory Kinetics reaction analyzes the how fast the chemical reaction occurs when two solution mix together. Chemical reaction is changing their properties and reagents concentration which create new products. There is a titration method to check the kinetic reaction. For example, of chemical equation as aA + bB → cC+ dD This equation describes the…
