Overview During my time in physics, I have learned a variety of topics, equations, formulas, and ideas that further continue my intelligence and learning when it comes to my life. However, there has always been something in nature that has always gripped my attention more than anything else. Water. Water as a general concept is something that is truly a miracle for life. It allows all living creatures to survive through drinking, bathing, and an overall healthy and happy life for all. Because of this, I was able to derive the law from two different scientists regarding this topic. One of which was Evangelista Torricelli(Galileo’s assistant), who was able to derive Torricelli’s law v2 = 2gH, in where g represents the acceleration due to the …show more content…
The total amount of water I chose to fill the bottle with is approximately 1700 mL since above that level of water the bottle shape begins to change. I chose to measure 100 mL differences for water volume differences in order to achieve a total range of numbers between 500 and 1700 mL. I also determined that at 1700 mL, the flow rate allowed for the water to drain nearly 100 mL over the 5 seconds recorded. If I used a value that was less than 100 mL, I would find that one trial would go into another trial. I chose use a period of 5 seconds for a few reasons. This period allows us to collect a vast range of data for the amount of drainage, between the values of 27 and 96 mL. If I used a longer duration, like for instance, 10 seconds, I would find that the amount of water drained would be roughly between the values of 50 and 200 mL, which would go into the other trials. The reason why I did not choose a value less than 5 seconds was because such a small value would greatly amplify the problem of my reaction time. Also, the values collected would go between 5 mL and 25 mL, which would be too small for this experiment to work. Finally, I chose to use 6 trials for each condition. Materials: thumb tack Two Two Liter Bottles Water Stopwatch String Scissors Ruler tape Procedure: 1) Poke a hole into the bottle with the thumbtack 2) Make a hole in the two liter bottle about 10 cm from the bottom. 3) Fill the bottle with water so that
Make a hole in the bottle cap, just big enough to insert the plastic tubing. Use a drill or a nail and a hammer.
For years I have shown a passion for physics and I aspire to read it at a deeper level because of its many phenomena and applications, and the need for skilled physicists in the world, as without them, civilisation would struggle to thrive. The thought process and unique perceptions that physicists have are key in driving businesses and other innovations. Furthermore, society is hugely reliant on technology, resulting in physicists becoming increasingly important to both maintaining and creating new technological ideas. For example my work experience at Sky allowed me to see how the approach that the physicists there took enabled them to be very successful in their line of work. More importantly however, the beauty of physics is found on an intrinsic level which allows us to understand the universe we live in. For thousands of years, religious beliefs dominated explanations for important ideas such as how the universe was created, the afterlife, and of course the question of a deity. Religion shaped society for many years, but the intervention of physics has bravely challenged these once readily accepted views, creating a society that consists of
Batteries store energy in chemical form. They release energy by pumping electrons’ through wires from the minus pole to the plus pole. Devices inbetween convert this energy to another form, Efficieny- e.motor=85%, combustion= 20%
Volume of water This was kept constant by using a 200 ml beaker to fill up the jars used in the experiment. The uncertainty of the volume of the water was: +/- 10 ml
The great Leonardo da Vinci once said,”Water is the driver of Nature”, the saying which we can genuinely relate in the present days. Water has been one of the fundamental need of the nature without which life can not be possible. Due to rapid modernization
Then obtain the mass of the two flasks with the deionized water in them. If the mass of the water is between 9.9 g and 10.1 g then you can continue. If the weight of the water does not go between that range then get two flasks with water that reach that range. Record all trials in data table.
The dependent variable for this experiment is the height of the water in the bottle. The independent variable is the volume of water added to the bottle. Some controls include but are not limited to, what bottle is used, type of liquid poured into bottle, who measures the water, how clean the bottle is during the experiment. Figure one shows what the bottle used in the experiment looks like. Procedure: 1 mL of water was squirted into the bottle using a pipet.
Place the semi-circular container full of water under the horizontal line. Flat side lined up with the horizontal line.
This works best with a two liter bottle because of the size. First, cut the top off to create a funnel. Then you cut the threaded neck off to create a bigger opening in the funnel or leave it in its original state depending on what size fish you want to trap.
Procedure: Cut top off 2 liter bottle and bottom off another. Fill the one without a top with water and put a
cut off the top and the bottom of one of the 2 2-liter bottles, about 2” from the ends.
a 10-mL Erlenmeyer flask. Clamp the column in a vertical position, and close the valve.
I altogether agree with Alfred North Whitehead’s sentiment regarding Aristotle’s genius to insight. This discussion of God both religious and metaphysical couldn’t come at a more opportune time, as I find myself at yet another crossroads. This time however it’s different, because I have Aristotle’s words of wisdom to further illuminate my understanding and assist with the welcomed transition. In Book VII of Metaphysics, Aristotle introduces his prime mover, God. Aristotle’s God however, is not the defined and embodied deity we have come to know through religion. God by his detail is infinite, and for this reason, if no other, makes Aristotle’s God unavailable for religious purposes. He is however, available for spiritual
Quantum mechanics was developed over many decades ago,Quantum mechanics is science dealing with the behaviour of matter and light on the atomic and subatomic scale. It attempts to describe and account for the properties of molecules and atoms and their constituents—electrons, protons, neutrons, and other more particles. This type of physics beginning as a set of controversial mathematical explanations of experiments that the math of classical mechanics could not explain. It began at the turn of the 20th century, around the same time that Albert Einstein published his theory of relativity, a separate mathematical revolution in physics that describes the motion of things at high speeds. Unlike relativity, however, the origins of quantum mechanics cannot be attributed to any one scientist. Rather, multiple scientists contributed to a foundation of three revolutionary principles that gradually gained acceptance and experimental verification between 1900 and 1930. One experiment that is known in this field of physics is the double slit experiment.
Our current inability to find a unified theory for explaining all types of forces in the Universe has incited us to revise our understanding of the present theories. Out of the four fundamental forces Nuclear,Electromagnetic,Weak, Gravitational first three are modelled as discrete quantum field while last one as continuous classical field. As one can 't consistently couple a classical system to quantum one this leads to the need of quantum mechanical description of the gravity. But there are still loopholes in our present theories of quantum mechanics so one should aim at their modification prior to unification. This motivates us to start from the fundamentals and find the limit upto which a certain approximation of any principle hold.\
