Blast Off Lab Report

In the “Blast Off” lab, we had launched a foam rocket into the air by pumping air into a nozzle, shooting the rocket up, and then recording the time from launch to when it hit the ground. I have learned and now understand the mechanics of kinetic and potential energy.
The experiment I had conducted relates to energy in that as we observed the rocket, its energy was constantly transforming as it was in motion. Kinetic energy is an object’s energy based on its motion. Potential energy is energy based on an object’s shape or position. Mechanical energy is the combination of all energies. An energy being transformed is when it is changed into another form of energy. Kinetic energy, for example, can be transformed into potential energy. The

Throughout each step of a Rube Goldberg Machine, energy conversions are what make a machine capable of continuing to work properly. Typical Rube Goldberg Machines begin with numerous objects containing high amounts of potential energy that are ready to be converted to kinetic energy. The conversion between potential to kinetic energy allows each object to complete steps like knock over dominos or lowering a pulley. If a Rube Goldberg Machine did not contain energy conversions of great magnitude, the end goal task may not be completed. Thus, precise energy conversions are essential to a working Rube Goldberg

Kinetic and Potential energy transformation in a roller coaster Kinetic energy is energy in motion; in physics, the kinetic energy of an object is the energy that it possesses due to its motion. It is defined as the work needed to accelerate a body of a given mass from rest to its stated velocity. Kinetic energy depends on mass and speed, kinetic energy like energy is expressed in joules. "Kinetic energy depends on speed more than mass.

Leah Romero 10/30/2017 Conclusion Lab 3 Chem 102L In lab 3, fundamentals of chromatography, the purpose was to examine how components of mixtures can be separated by taking advantage of different in physical properties. A huge process in this lab was paper chromatography, which was used to isolate food dyes that are found in different drink mixes. The different chromatograms of FD&C dyes were compared to identify which dyes are present in each of the mixes.

In Chapter 14, kinetics of particle, work and energy, we could summary this chapter explain us about the moving particle based on the principle of energy that involves force (F), velocity (v) and displacement (s). By these kinds of units, we could solve the problems that involve power (P) and efficiency (ε). In this chapter also explained us about conservation of force and theory of conservation of energy due to solve the problems of kinetic energy. While in Chapter 18, kinetics of rigid, work and energy, we could summary this chapter almost got the same explanation by the chapter 14 which was it contain about work of force, kinetic energy, gravitational potential energy, elastic potential energy, conservation of energy and principle of work and energy. If we study deeply about these two chapters, we could get the similarities and differences about the work and energy by the

This relationship is shown using the formula Ep=mgh, where Ep ∝ m, g, h. As the ride continues, there will be multiple changes in energy, where Ep converts to Ek, and vice versa. Kinetic energy is dependent upon the mass of an object and the velocity it is travelling at.

According to Lucas (2014), “Kinetic energy is the energy a mass has in motion.” If you follow along with the example of the bike for potential energy, then the concept of how potential energy and kinetic energy are converted will be easier to grasp. The kinetic energy of the bike, occurs when the bike is in motion. If the bike were to begin a downhill descent, then it would possess kinetic energy. Kinetic energy is also measured in Joules (J).

Potential energy and kinetic energy are measured in the units Joules. The formula h ∙ m is used to find the potential energy, in which h is the height and m is the mass. (TIM Notes) The more height and mass an object has, the greater its potential energy.

Then potential energy in the dictionary defines it as the energy of a body or a system with respect to the position of the body or the arrangement of the particles of the system. Then gravity in the dictionary is defined as the force of attraction by which terrestrial bodies tend to fall toward the center of the earth. If the gravity was turned off, when you shoot a basketball the ball would up into the air. When you shoot a basketball you transfer energy to one

Joshua Miller 12/18/17 Fermentation Lab report Introduction The term fermentation refers to the chemical breakdown of a substance by bacteria, yeasts, or other microorganisms, typically involving effervescence and the giving off of heat (wikipedia). Sugars are converted to ethyl alcohol when fermentation happens. In this experiment we determined if yeast cells undergo fermentation when placed in a closed flask with no oxygen. Glucose and yeast are mixed together in a closed flask and allowed to incubate for about one hour.

Research Energy is, being able to do work. Most types of energy is either a form of kinetic energy (energy which a body has) or potential energy (The energy possessed by a body). Kinetic energy is energy an object has because of its movement. Energy can be changed from one type to another.

Energy is the ability and capacity to do any type of work. There are different forms of energy- like Potential Energy, Kinetic Energy, Thermal Energy, Electrical Energy, Mechanical Energy, Chemical Energy, nuclear Energy. Energy can be neither created nor destroyed. Nuclear Energy is the energy which is stored in the nucleus of an atom. When the nucleus of an atom splits or when two nuclei of different atoms combine, a large amount of energy is released in the form of heat and radiation.
