Ib Physics Ia

I have always excelled at math and science. Sophomore year, I had to decide whether I would take regents or honors physics in my junior year. I was already going to take AP biology, and I had planned on signing up for regents physics so that I wouldn't get too overwhelmed by science courses. Everyone warned me that honors physics was a tough class. However, I ended up taking the honors because my friend didn't want to be alone in that course. This is one of the best choices I've made in my life. I loved my honors physics class. Physics allows me to apply my math knowledge into real world situations that I can visualize and even test experimentally. Additionally, it requires me to problem solve and think problems through meticulously, which I love.

The pendulum was pulled to about 15 cm from the motion detector. In case of the mass on a spring, the mass was pulled till just a few inches away from the motion detector.

1. Find the westward component of a resultant vector 85.42 unit, 23º W of N.

In this experiment, the signal generator was set so that the frequency meter showed a reading of 1,803 Hz. The microphone was moved to a distance from the speaker so that the oscilloscope displayed a straight diagonal line. This position was of the microphone was recorded as the initial position, or beginning of a wavelength. The microphone was then moved farther in the same direction until the oscilloscope displays the same horizontal line. This position was recorded as final position, or the end of the wavelength. The distance between the two positions represents one wavelength for this frequency. This was repeated for frequencies of 2,402 Hz, 3,002, Hz, 3,602 Hz, and 4,201 Hz.

20. Because the magnetic force which deflects the electrons is defined by F = q * v x B

( Engaging statement. Why is this investigation of Crumple Zone Physics relevant? General topic information)

I'm in my AP Physics C class, and as the teacher is explaining the solution to a problem, my friend sitting beside me says he does not understand anything. I can see why the teacher's solution is a bit counter-intuitive, so in an effort to provide the most detailed, comprehensive solution, I go home and write this solution, with diagrams and all statements numbered so my friend can tell me which statements or sentences are confusing. After I spend some time discussing the problem, he finally says, "I get it." Not only that - he is able to solve a very similar problem to the one I just explained.

During an eccentric contraction, the muscle lengthens under tension due to an opposing force that is greater than the force being produced by the muscle (Lindstedt et al. 2001). Eccentric contractions require little metabolic energy, however they are characterized by a high production of force (Semmler 2014). Fick observed that a lengthening muscle contraction could exert more force than a shortening muscle contraction, while Hill later observed that the body has a lower energy demand when contracting eccentrically compared to concentrically (Lindstedt et al. 2001). When the force applied is larger than the force that is created, work is done on the lengthened muscle and mechanical energy is absorbed – this is called “negative work” (Lindstedt et al. 2001). This absorbed energy can either be dissipated as heat, or it can be temporarily stored as elastic recoil potential energy for later use (Lindstedt et al. 2001).

2. No, the forces went in equal and opposite directions just as the rubber band and string

Task Description:The world communicates by making extensive use of the electromagnetic spectrum. For the average person this is commonly accessed using radio waves. These radio waves may be over the AM or FM radio wave bands or the radio waves that transmit our television signals. Not only are people always within a ‘phone call of each other anywhere in the world they are also able to find out exactly where in the world they are by use of

10. How does varying the frequency effect contraction force? Which interval caused the greatest contraction?

Elasticity is a bill of responsiveness. The responsiveness of measured by variable quantity Z to a modification in

What is the Relationship between Points per Game Scored and the Height of the Players in the NBA?

Purpose: The purpose of this Physics Lab is to investigate what factors determine the amount of flexion of the cantilever. Hence, the objective is to establish a relationship between the length of a cantilever, which may give some insight into the physics of cantilevers.

When one surface of the cantilever undergoes a surface stress change, the cantilever bends accordingly upward or downward depending on
