Phvsics Lab Report Format (Sample Report Attached) General Remarks: Writing a lab report is the only way your TA will know what you have done during the lab and how well you have understood the process and the results. Part of your lab experience should be learning how to organize and present your work in a scientific way. There is no framework that can be used as a "one size fits all", therefore this sample lab report should only be used as an example. Any lab report should have the

Exercise 1: Flat bench press (which trains Pectoralis major). As you lower the bar towards the chest is the eccentric phase of the movement, as you raise the bar back up is the concentric phase of the movement. The isometric phase is when no movement occurs. If you perform the bench press exercise in a slow and controlled manner, I would say there are two isometric phases: the first one is when you have lowered the bar to chest and right before you start pushing it up again (at the end of the eccentric

Coordinate systems in geometry are systems which use numbers known as coordinates to determine the positions of points in space (Wolfram). The two coordinate systems we will be using in this problem are the Cartesian coordinate system and the polar coordinate system. The Cartesian coordinate system specifies points in a plane using pairs of numerical coordinates, which in this case are the x and y values of point A, point B, and point C listed in the diagram (Wolfram). For example, point C on the

increase the force of friction via increasing the gravitational forces, and therefore the normal forces, acting on the cart. Increasing velocity has an exponential effect on the carts kinetic energy and by increasing it one would increase the velocity of the cart at every other point on the roller coaster. This has inherent risk, as if the cart is going too fast at the crest of hills or too slow at the top of a loop the cart will derail.

even a ship, the propeller applies to it. So what does the Propeller do? According to Newton’s Third Law of Action and Reaction the propeller takes into account this force by using the turbine or motor applicable in the vehicle. As the motor starts to roll causing a force the propeller uses it to create an equal and opposite force, this provides subsequent power in order for the vehicle to move forward. In basic the propeller consists of 2 parts the blades and the hub or the center. The hub is the

pushes out of the back end of the balloon it pushed the car forward in the opposite direction with the same amount of force. This project also uses both friction and momentum. These were both factors in the races, another factor in the race was weight because the heavier the car means the more force you would need to allow the car to move and give the balloon having the greater force. After, watching the other cars race to improve my car I could have made a better support for the balloon and blown

Bungees-R-us is asking us to throw ken off a 417 high balcony they asked to prove how many rubber bands will ken need without his head hitting the floor and to prove with evidence and we will need to use diagrams , formulas , graphs , and ect . I believe that the important information that they gave us is how many rubber bands there is in the x axis and also the the jump distance which is the y axis . Some other important information was how high was the balcony which was 417 inches . Well my plan

1.Choose two forces and compare and contrast these forces. You must provide two ways that they are alike and two ways that they are different. You may make a list, write in paragraph form, or make a chart. Each of them have to have another force or item, both of them have a large range. And different because Electromagnetic force comes in two signs of charge. While gravity comes in one, also Gravity is weak and Electromagnetic force is stronger. 2.Choose two forces and compare and contrast

In any amusement park, the roller coaster is usually the most popular ride. It was first built in Russia during the 16th century, ever since then, the roller coaster has been a hit. With the car slowly moving up the everlasting height of the hill, high enough to touch the clouds, and then rushing downwards through many loops and twists, is enough to keep one’s adrenaline pumping. But what is the secret of the roller coaster? How is it possible for it to work this way? The answer is science. Many

trebuchet, including the sling, the projectile, the arm, the counterweight and the base. The force is applied to one end of the arm, and the projectile is on the other end. The force should be very large and the projectile very small (Geiselman). To launch a projectile in the air, the gravitational force acts on the counterweight on the short side of the beam, so it pulls the weight downward. The unbalanced force of gravity to air resistance is what causes the counterweight to go towards the ground.
