Fundamental physics concepts

All over our galaxy are pockets of space, filled with dust and gas. Some of these clouds are denser than others, and every once and a while, a cloud of this gas begins squeezing together due to its own gravity. This is when a star begins to form. The cloud begins to form into a rotating disk, with the inner section rotating faster than the outer. The center will begin to heat up because of the pressure and thermonuclear reactions start in its center. Eventually, two hydrogen atoms get squeezed together

“You call that a punch?” the man chortled. He turned to his friends and punched them softly in mockery. Understanding the situation, they began laughing too- them and all the bystanders. Demetri’s expression didn’t change. He wouldn’t run, he didn’t have a seed of fear for this man like the fear had for his master. He was not afraid of someone who was most likely a dimwit. Demetri would probably be able predict the things the man would do, predict even the things he would say in just a moment. “Do

Lab: Which Is Your Metal Conclusion In the lab Which Is Your Metal, we attempted to identify an unknown metal by determining its specific heat capacity. We began by choosing a sample of metal, finding its mass, and describing it. We found the temperature of our boiling water. Then, we calculated the volume and temperature of the water in our calorimeter before and after the experiment. Through these calculations, we determined that the heat transferred to the calorimeter water from the hot metal

Elastic and Inelastic Lab By. Spencer Schibig December 10th, 2015 Elastic and Inelastic Lab By. Spencer Schibig December 10th, 2015 Introduction Do elastic and inelastic collisions obey the conservation of momentum principle?The law of momentum conservation principle means a collision occurring between object 1 and object 2 in an isolated system, the total momentum of the two objects before the collision is equal to the total momentum of the two objects after the collision. That

Team Roping: The Art of Heeling Introduction I. Attention Getter: What is this sport or event that gets people’s blood rushing, their adrenaline pumping, and their competitive side going? A. A short video clip will play, and then I will introduce team roping. B. I am going to teach you about the rope that is used to catch the steer. C. I will break down and discuss the components of the event of team roping.

Causal Question:  (15 words max.) What caused the water to rise? Hypothesis: (30 words max.) A change in pressure inside the jar caused the water to rise. Prediction: (30 words max.) If the pressure in the jar remains atmospheric, then the water level will not rise. Rational: (100 words max.) Inside the jar, the flame consumed the oxygen and produced carbon dioxide until it ran out of oxygen and the flame was extinguished. Since pressure is reliant on volume as seen in the formula p=(NkT)/V,

Results and Conclusions: Density measures the mass of substance per unit of volume. Density of solids is measured in grams/cM3. Density of liquids is measured in grams/mL. Density of gases is measured in grams/Liter. Specific Gravity is when the density of many substances are compared are compared to the density of water which is 1 gram/cM3. If a substance has a density less than 1 gram/cM3, it will float but if the density is greater than 1 gram/cM3, it will sink

Introduction The objective of this experiment was to find the speed of light using a microwave oven. Microwave ovens use a particular microwave frequency to excite molecules of water. Since water is present in marshmallows, this means that microwaves heat up and they do it quickly. Marshmallows are mostly sugar and water filled with lots of small air bubbles. The marshmallows were placed in a bowl and cooked in the microwave. In the equation, C = λ∙f, the wavelength measured in meters and

The purpose of the Density/Graphing Mini Lab was to determine how the density of a small amount of a substance relates to the density of a large amount of the same substance. The density of a substance is determined by the mass (resistance to change in acceleration) and the volume (how much space it takes up). To calculate density the formula used is, F = m/v. Mass is measured in g, volume is measured in mL, and density is measured in cm³. The hypothesis, “If the density of a small amount of a substance

The experiment and the purpose of the experiment consisted of comparing known and unknown compounds based on established standards of flame color and solid compound characteristics. By observing the colors of the salts, we were able to conduct a flame test and identify it. My hypothesis was that by comparing the flame colors of metal ions to known standards, the identity of the salt compound could be determined. Ultimately, our hypothesis was proven right, and we correctly identified the known and
