  • Cartesian Diver Lab Report

    911 Words  | 4 Pages

    A Cartesian Diver is and interesting science experiment that expresses the principles of Buoyancy, and the gas law known as “Boyles Law”. It is simply a 2 liter bottle that is filled with water, and has a Plastic Pipet with a brass nut attached to it. It is an easy, and fun way to demonstrate Buoyancy and the concepts of Chemistry to students. The Cartesian diver was named for the French philosopher and scientist René Descartes, who invented this marvelous experiment. The main science behind

    are displacement, density and buoyancy. Displacement happens when an object is fully submerged in a liquid, pushing it aside and taking its place. Students are exposed to displacement in the first activity of this curriculum. They are able to observe this as a piece of clay is placed into lukewarm water. The clay pushes the water aside as it begins to sink. Buoyancy is the ability to float. While students are never exposed to this terminology, students explore buoyancy in the first three lessons. In

  • How A Floating Film Canister Density

    522 Words  | 3 Pages

    In the experiment for “ If the Earth has layers , then the most dense material will be located towards the center.” the hypothesis was accepted. The data used from the experiment that supports the hypothesis was that the floating film canister density was 0.47 g/mL3 and it was the least dense out of the three. The floating film canister represented the crust of the Earth. The suspended film canister represented the mantle and it had a density of 0.80 g/mL3. The sunk film canister was representing

  • Chapter 5 Summary Of Buoyancy

    267 Words  | 2 Pages

    In chapter five, Pink discusses the trait of “buoyancy,” or what he defines as the ability to stay afloat when waves of rejection and adversity strike. According to Pink, buoyancy is composed of three different components: interrogative self-talk, positivity ratios, and explanatory self-talk. In the first component, Pink suggests that instead of only using positive self-talk whenever we are planning to move someone, we use interrogative self-talk. This is because asking ourselves questions, such

    straight and make it to the end of the tub that is about two point four meters in five seconds or less. A partnership of two was formed for this project, and had to test different variables to improve speed and direction, and calculate velocity, buoyancy, and efficiency. The variables that were tested were Rutters, weight distribution, and the boat shape to see what can get the best results on the final test. The boats direction and straightness was tested if having a Rutter helped more than not

  • Amount Of Salt Experiment Results

    792 Words  | 4 Pages

    Title: The Effect of the Amount of Salt (Mass) on The Density of Coloured Solutions Question: How does the Amount of Salt Solution (Mass) Affect the Density of Liquid Solutions? Background Research: Density is how light or how heavy something is, depending on its size. Density can determine an object’s mass or volume. If an object is more dense, it will sink and its atoms would be closely packed. When an object is not dense, it will float which will make the atoms loose. Scientists are able

  • Thoreau's Walden Pond

    266 Words  | 2 Pages

    quote, he describes Walden Pond as not only a place, but a process. “It is well to have some water in your neighborhood, to give buoyancy to and float the earth. One value even of the smallest well is, that when you look into it you see that earth is not continent but insular (Walden 11). His observation of looking across the pond produces the image of water giving buoyancy to the earth. The term continent, is not in reference to the earths 7 continents or dry land, but is is reference to what is continent

    primary classroom. Many of her books contain complex underlying concepts regarding primary-level science, and therefore would be extremely useful and effective when used as relatable and easily understood introductions to the topics. These concepts are buoyancy and displacement, and plants, animals and habitats. By being able to relate the principle to the storyline in the books, the students are able to make the necessary connections and understand the concepts. In addition, Pamela Allen’s picture books

Each dive team is a 4-member team who’s training is of top quality. These dive teams will be doing what is know as initial reconnaissance. Within these dives the team must look at three major aspects, firstly the conditions of the ship. This includes any parts of the ship that is broken either from

  • Combined Gas Law Lab

    493 Words  | 2 Pages

    The purpose of this lab is to use the combined gas law to find the new volume of the can after the temperature has changed. Also in this lab, the volume changes again and it is found using water displacement. The dependent variable in this lab would be the volume. The independent variable in this lab would be the temperature. Under the microscope, solids can be seen as particles in a highly ordered or fixed position. Liquids can be seen as particles that can move loosely and start to show some

    polymer ratio. The buoyancy lag time in simulated gastric fluid (0.1 mol L-1 HCL, pH 1.2) varied with the formulation variable. Formulation P1 exhibited the least buoyancy lag time (26 s) while formulation P6 exhibited the highest lag time (219 s). The decrease in the buoyancy lag time of a formulation P1 can be attributed to the availability of an increased amount of carbon dioxide as the with concentration of calcium carbonate which was entrapped in the formed gel to give rapid buoyancy. Irrespective

    lack of bones and muscles. Blob fish are typically shorter than 30 cm. They live at depths between 2,000 and 3,900 ft where the pressure is 60 to 120 times as great as at sea level, which would likely make gas bladders inefficient for maintaining buoyancy. Instead, the flesh of the blob fish is primarily a gelatinous mass with a density slightly less than water; this allows the fish to float above the sea floor

    occurs when floating objects that don 't normally float attract one another. At the root of the Cheerio Effect are buoyancy, surface tension, gravity, and the meniscus effect—basic physics concepts. Buoyancy or density of an object compared to the water or air surrounding it, determines whether an object submerged in water or surrounded by air will sink, float, or stay put. Buoyancy is what keeps objects afloat. If an object is less dense than the water or air surrounding it, the object floats; if

    version, but it gives the poem a feeling of needing to repeat things, almost as if the author needed to convince themselves that what they are saying is true. The metaphor of “the buoyancy of air” is angled towards using the other meaning of “buoyancy” being cheerful and optimistic. Seeing as everyone breathes air, “buoyancy of air” could be the air and everyone will help others or be cheerful, and the author is trying to convince the reader to not believe in

    Underwater at 8:18am, it is very foggy this morning, we cannot see Isla Tiburon from the North boat ramp to give you a sense. Calm waters, light blue skies, low tides, left wave crash, fog looks as if it 's heading west toward Isla Tiburon. Took off at 8:23am, towards the southwest side of Isla Tiburon. We saw common mergansers in groups of 50 or so at 8:29am in the fog. We are now in the middle of the sea and cannot see Isla Tiburon or Kino behind us at 8:45am. We spotted about 150 grebes at 8:41am

  • Essay On Motor Float

    I will be producing a toy that is based off of buoyancy. The Motor Float® is a motorized version of bumper cars on water. This a safe new way to enjoy bumper cars with a pleasant splash of water when being knocked off of your Motor Float®. The Motor Float® floats on water and buoyancy is why it stays on top of the water. The water is more dense therefore, along with the buoyant force being exerted on the boat, it is able to stay on top of the water. The motor of the boat is powered by electricity

    one of the most significant symbols, signifying the speaker's solitude. The speaker dives to “touch / the tiles below. / Then reaching for that solitary buoyancy / until the lights went out” (Torres 5-7). The tiles at the pool's bottom are another metaphor, signifying the speaker's life's boundaries and restrictions. The act of reaching for buoyancy in the water also represents the speaker's yearning for freedom and liberation from these constraints. The abandoned pool at the community college recalls
