    In this experiment students will be examining the fluid properties of pressure and specific weight. In theory, there exists pressure equilibrium at the hinged gate, which separates the two fluids. This equilibrium allows a relationship to form between forces exerted by the fluids. Fair = Ffluid = SWfluid * Hg * Af In this instance, air, along with water, along with unknowns (glycerin, and oil) will yield separate results for a specific weight SW. Once values are derived, an error can be computed

    I. Introduction Many miniaturized electronics use thin films. Thin films are metals where the width is larger than the thickness. It is extremely important to understand the properties of thin films in order to use them effectively in electronics. One of the important properties is texture of the film because it determines the reliability of the metal. The texture of a film is determined by the orientation of the cubes. Metals such as silver, copper and nickel are all face-centered cubic. What that

    the greatest distance possible. Physics is relatable to this lab because the success for this car requires the use of engineered force resulting in the distance and speed components coming to play. The amount of materials used to make the car has a definite influence in the car’s mass, likewise effecting the acceleration. How smoothly the wheels coincide with the floor will depict the amount of friction being created which as well connects back to acceleration. Physics endeavors those key elements therefore

    The essential questions from this semester’s physics class that relate to this project are: What is physics? How does physics connect with engineering design? Physics is the study of matter, energy and the interactions between them (Openstax, 2016). Math is often described as the language of physics and there are many aspects to physics. Physics is made of a set of big ideas and there are many smaller concepts that fall into the idea of physics. Physics connects with engineering design because they

    Physics in Everyday Life Physics is the study of everything that matter and energy effect. Since all objects that take up space have energy, every object in the world is studied by physics. Physics deals a lot with forces, such as normal force, gravitational force, and frictional force. A simple example of these forces is a pen being dropped. The force acting on the pen is the gravitational force. There is no other object under the pen to keep it from falling, so the pen will keep falling until it

    Enabling Physics 1 & 2 - Investigative Research Assignment Question: What is the relationship between the percentage of Graphite (Carbon) in a lead pencil and the electrical resistance of the graphite in the lead pencil? Hypothesis: The prediction is that a higher concentration of Carbon in a pencil will produce a lower resistance due to Carbon being more conductive than Clay produced in lead pencils. Figure 1: Details of pencils used in the investigation. (2015). Enabling Physics 1 & 2 - Investigative

    characteristics simultaneously. However, can this observed behaviour be applied to actual people? It seems strange to think that I am in many places at one time but I will be exploring the implications of this if this is the case. The purpose of physics has always been to explain what the world does and how it does it. We need a theory that describes the whole world we see around us but quantum mechanics does not always do that. We use classical mechanics or Newtonian mechanics to describe the behaviour

    huge role in modern physics and chemistry’. It was interpreted in many ways, however the Copenhagen Interpretation was the most widely held view, largely developed by Danish physicist Neils Bohr who worked in Copenhagen. The framework can be applied to different scientific phenomena and can be used to investigate the behaviour of the building blocks of the universe, all elementary particles. The complex mathematics is useful for these particles as they act in ways classical physics cannot explain. [1]

    Memari, Arian AP Biology, V November 3, 2014 Chapter 2, 3, 4 Review 1. An ion is an atom/molecule that contains a net charge because of the loss/gain of either one or many more electrons.Ions are different from other atoms of the element since they either contain an extra/missing electron in their valence shells. Ions interact with other ions through ionic bonds. When the charge of an atom is positive then the ion is specifically known as a cation. An anion is a negatively charged ion. Since
