Unit 7 Hooke’s Law
Introduction
This lab will test the relationship between the spring constant, k, from Hooke’s Law and the change in applied force resulting in displacement. Using two different methods, part one and two of the lab will determine the spring constant, k. In part one we will hang different masses from the spring so that we can alter the amount of force acting on it. After applying these weights, one can measure the displacement caused by this action. Hooke’s equation will yield a straight line graph of F (weight) versus x (displacement). The slope of the graph will yield the spring constant, k. In part two we will be using the oscillation of the mass on the spring as an example of SMH. By graphing the oscillation, we can

Procedure
Part 1: Determine Spring constant using Hooke’s Law.
Initial Setup Start the computer and start the data studio program. Select Open Activity. From the mechanic’s folder, open the file “Hooke’s Law”. Examine the apparatus. The top measurement device is the force sensor and will be connected into A analog input of the Science Workshop interface. The bottom sensor is a motion sensor and will be connected into input 1 and 2, with the yellow plug connected into input. Suspend the spring from the hook on the force sensor. Suspend a mass hanger from the other end of the spring.
Calibrating the Sensors
First the Force Sensor On the side of the sensor is a button labeled TARE. Press the button; this will zero the force sensor, thereby negating the force contributed by the spring and mass hanger.
Now for the Motion Sensor Click the Start button. Click the Keep button five times, then click the red box to stop the data run. Locate the Table window at the bottom of the display. The mean value for the distance from the sensor to the bottom of the hanger is

From the File Menu, select Open Activity and open the file simple harmonic motion. [The files are located inside “My documents”, “Mechanics”].
Calibrate the Sensor
In this part, only the motion sensor is acquiring data. The force sensor functions solely to provide a means to suspend the spring and mass. With the spring-mass system stationary, select Start. Data will be taken for 5 seconds, then stop automatically. The graph is displayed in the Simple Harmonic Motion graph window should not have large spikes. If it does, repeat until a spike free graph is obtained. The Table window will display the mean value for the distance from the bottom of the weight hanger to the motion sensor. In the Data Panel, double click on the pos=x-equilibrium icon. Enter the mean value into the box for the equilibrium value. Click the lower Accept button and verify that the value for equilibrium is equal to what was entered. Close the window.
Loosen the retaining screw and adjust the horizontal arm to the dimple that produce the 2nd largest radius between the spinning mass and the rotating shift. Allow the spinning mass to hang straight down, without being connected to the spring. Position the pointer directly below the tip of spinning mass and secure the pointer to the base. Use the scale located on the base to determine the radius, r, of the pointer from the rotating shaft. Record this value onto Data Sheet A. The experimental uncertainty in r is estimated to be the width of the spinning mass tip – approximately 0.2 cm.
Lastly, put finger on the caliper that infront on the right hand side of the throttle and applied some force to slow down the motocycle.
11. Tare the scale by pressing the Φ/T button so that the scale reads 0.0 g.
Hold one ball beside the top of the meter stick with the ZERO end touching the table.
The purpose of this lab is to calibrate two force sensors properly. Observe the directional relationship between force pairs. Observe the time variation of force pairs. We need to explain Newton’s third law in simple language.
· I set up the apparatus as shown in the diagram. I then placed a
Copied the observations table in our notebook. Then recorded the mass of the beaker using the balance and wrote down the measured mass in the observation
Imagine a world without cancer, without the families suffering because a loved one is battling the fight against a disease that claims the most lives every year. This is what the American Cancer Society is aspires for in the long run. Ever since the American Cancer Society was created in 1913, they have been dedicated to eradicating the disease known as cancer. They put the best interest of the people and take action to make it happen. The American Cancer Society (ACS) uses its eventful history to take action to help the millions of people who are suffering from cancer and work to find advancements in the battle against it.
It is located in forward department of the R.M.M. It is equipped to deal with objects at 360 degrees and allows simple tasks like grasping, sorting, cutting, digging, examining, and moving objects. It can grasp mid size objects and has lifting capacity up to 90 kg if needed and deliver it into the testing platform of the PTP component on the rover. The robotic arm is designed with 12 servo motors to move and rotate the arm in any direction. The robotic mechanical arm uses a system of sensors to feel textures and sense temperatures to help with the testing and examining of samples. The arm uses a “push-pull' technique. The arm has a “tool revolver” to switch from tools as needed. The tool included in the barrel
10. How does varying the frequency effect contraction force? Which interval caused the greatest contraction?
Use a protractor to measure 30° from the equilibrium. Release the pendulum at this angle.
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.
Epigenetics is a study that entails the heritage changes in gene expressions, which includes both the active and the inactive genes; the changes do not involve changes to the underlying DNA sequence. Meaning, it is a change in phenotypes without the differences in genotypes and consequently, affect how the cells read the genes. The epigenetic modification is a natural occurrence but apparently can be influenced by other several factors, including diseases, the environment, and age. Epigenetic changes can result in adverse damages and can end up causing infections such as cancer (Barton et al, 2016). This paper looks at what epigenetics entails, the hidden life of our genes, how food affects genes and how one can elongate life by improving health status.

The touch detection features detection and each force can use or share some or all of the display area. For example, in one embodiment, a user can interact with an image displayed by touching and / or by applying a force in a proper position on the screen, with the corresponding position located anywhere on the screen. In another embodiment, the
