Homework Statement Alright, for my design lab I've gotten around and figured out how I'm going to record the data, but when I saw I needed a graph, I'm not sure what to do. I can prove my experiment to be true without using a graph. This is because I essentially have a weighted object with a...

Hello everyone, I'm working on a physics postlab due tomorrow, and I'm just really skeptical that the answers I am getting so far are correct, I just feel like the problems are designed to "trick you" because of the values you are looking for are on the graph. could you guys please take a look...

As an undergraduate, I have a choice between working under two different professors in the Physics department at the university that I am enrolled in. One is theoretical, so my work would be in helping derive equations, and the other has a lab (not a super high-tech one, but a lab nonetheless)...

So I did this lab: http://www.physics.ryerson.ca/sites/default/files/u11/exp/exppcs125/SHM.pdf Essentially, we have a mass that was attached to a vertical spring with as little friction as possible. We let the mass reach equilibrium and then we applied a force on the mass. The mass oscillated...

In my intro Electromagnetism physics class, one of the labs we did was really fascinating. I didn't have a huge amount of interest in it at the time so I don't remember the details of how it worked but now I really want to know. From what I remember the set up was like this: We hooked up a...

I have tried using coffee filters in the past but they seem to be too thick. The ones I have are 300 g / m^2. Just looking on wikipedia they say filters actually made for chemistry are 80 g / m^2. What other paper can I buy in a rush, in a pinch, from a place like Wal-mart that will be a...

I have my first real lab class this semester (intro to circuits), and I'm kind of nervous. In high school chemistry I always felt like a burden in lab class; I could do fine on the tests, but in lab I always felt behind. By the time I thought to do something my teammates were usually already...

Hi, I'm currently doing a lab for gr.12 physics and it involves calculating the angle of elevation of a ramp by using information from ticker tapes. We're given a ticker tape and from that I made a position-time graph, velocity-time graph and acceleration time graph. Now I'm unsure where to...

I am an undergraduate student that started working in a research lab this semester and started out as a volunteer. It's my first research experience in a lab outside of the classroom and at this point, I have no idea how things are going. I work for the postdoc in the lab and have so far been...

Thermodynamics--Gibbs free energy: what can we actually measure in the lab? Hi everyone: I am getting back into thermodynamics after a long absence and have realized that there are basics I have never understood. If a patient person could either explain or direct me to an online resource...

I'm doing the prelab questions which require conceptual questions, not so much of math. The experiment is a typical ballistic pendulum lab - you'd shoot a paintball twoard a pendulum bob, and you measure the height the pendulum bob reaches after collision to calculate the related velocities...
