How do you measure viscosity using the ramp method?
basically make a ramp using some glass to be tilted onto a piece of wood. you then choose the two fluids you are going to measure and using a pipette, put a drop on the start of the ramp and measure how long it takes to get to the bottom of the ramp. hope this help! anonymous :) xoxo
Why does the mass of an electron increase in electron acceleration?
The answer lies in the quirks of quantum mechanics. Blame "Big Al" Einstein for these relativistic effects. When we accelerate anything, its mass increases. We don't see it normally because the phenomenon is only pronounced in situations where the accelerated object or "thing" approaches the speed of light. At half light speed, there isn't a ton of stuff happening, but as speeds ramp up near "maxium velocity" for our little particle, its mass ramps up, too. The 80% to 90% and up are marked by pronounced effects. Note that a moving bus has acquired a lot of energy, but that is not the result of relativistic mass differential. There is a difference. In accelerators, we can force particles up to 99% the speed of light. Electrons are relatively easy to accelerate compared to protons because the protons are some 1836 times more massive. Electrons can be accelerated pretty well by "simple" high voltage. Certainly a cyclotron can make them scream. A link is provided below.
What is the difference between a cyclotron and a linear particle accelerator?
The primary difference is that the cyclotron provides a "circular" path for the accelerated particles, and the linear accelerator provides a "straight tunnel" as a pathway for the accelerated particles. Both devices accelerate particles, but are suited nicely to be used in tandem The cyclotron is frequently applied as the "initiator" of a particle stream in physics labs with multiple accelerators. The cyclotron feeds the linear accelerator, which then provides a final boost to particles before directing them into a target. And this pair of devices can be set up to feed a larger "ring" accelerator. That is a "simple" three-stage setup for generating and accelerating a string of particles to ramp them up to near light speed. The accelerated particles, with their extreme energies, are then directed into selected targets and the scattering reactions observed.
Is acids or base slippery?
friction is a slowing force which happens when two surfaces rub against each other. Rough surfaces create stronger friction than smooth ones do. This is why slides are given smooth slippery surfaces. Can you imagine how difficult it would be to slide down a rough concrete ramp?
How can you test the viscosity of a liquid?
you can put a number of fluid of equal volume in a closed see-thru bottle. u can then turn the bottle up side down and once comletetly upside down u can time the time it take for the bubbles to reach the top. the more viscous fluid will take longer for the bubble to reach top
What kind of inquiry investigation is being done for marble ramp investigation?
energy
Is a marble rolling along at the bottom of a ramp kinetic energy?
Kinetic energy means energy through movement, so yes, it is. Any movement is kinetic energy.
What is the effect of ramp length on the speed of a marble?
The independent variable is the slope of the ramp because you vary the slope in the experiment. How far the marble travels is the dependent variable because that is what you are measuring.
What energy would a cart have at the end of a ramp?
If it were released from the top of the ramp, the cart would have maximum kinetic energy at the bottom of the ramp since the gravitational energy at the top of the ramp is converted into the kinetic energy of the cart.
Does the height of a ramp affect the speed of a marble?
Yes.The higher the ramp the faster.
What is the final speed of the marble at the bottom of the straight ramp and loop ramp?
A marble traveling at 3.0m/s starts to acceleration at 4.5m/s over a distance of 25m. what is the final speed of the marble?
Is it possible to predict the speed of a marble after rolling down a ramp if you know the height of the ramp?
no impossible
How will the angle of the ramp affect the speed of the marble?
if its steeper it'll go faster
Rebecca is conducting an experiment to see if the height of a ramp affects the speed at which a marble rolls down the ramp What should be the only variable in Rebecca's experiment?
Dependant variable Height of the ramp
What is the Kinetic Energy of the trolley at the top of the ramp if a trolley of mass is 25Kg and is released from the top of a ramp which stands at a height of 3m?
What is the Kinetic Energy of the trolley at the top of the ramp if a trolley of mass is 25Kg and is released from the top of a ramp which stands at a height of 3m? Mass = 25 Kg Height = 3 m This is an energy problem. At the top of the ramp, the trolley is at rest and 3m above the base line. Potential Energy = Weight * height Weight = mass * acceleration due to gravity Acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s^2 Potential Energy = 25 kg * 9.8m/s^2 * 3 m Potential Energy = 735 Joules When the trolley reaches the bottom of the ramp, all the potential energy has been converted to Kinetic energy. Potential Energy = 735 Joules = Kinetic energy Kinetic energy = ½ * mass * velocity^2 Kinetic energy = ½ * 25 * V^2 = 735 multiply 735 by 2 and divide by 25 V^2 = 58.8 V = 7.67 m/s
How are catalysts enzymes and activation energy related?
Enzymes are a type of catalyst. A catalyst is used in a biochemical process to reduce the activation energy needed for a specific reaction.
How does friction affect the distance traveled by a toy car after rolling down a ramp?
at the top of the ramp the toy has a certain amount of potential energy. The amount of this energy depends on the height of the ramp and the weight of the toy. (The toy's weight is dependent on its mass and the force of gravity.) As the toy rolls down the ramp this potential energy is converted to two other types of energy: Kinetic energy and heat energy. The amount of heat energy depends on friction and air resistance. The lower the total resistance the more kinetic energy, and the more speed, the toy has at the bottom of the ramp.
