Plan an experiment to investigate how the mass of an object affects the length of a spring.

     A spring has a natural length of 16 cm and can be stretched up to 32 cm.

Write a plan for the experiment, including:

  • the equipment to be used
  • instructions for accomplishing the experiment
  • the values you will use for the mass of the objects
  • the method on how you will verify the accuracy of your results
  • the graph to plot your results

You may draw your own diagram to be able to explain your plan comprehensively

An object is being carried that has a mass ML = 50kg. That object's length is L = 10m. One person is lifting the object at the end of the object. The second person is lifting it at a point that is x = L 3 from the other end. How much weight each of the person is carrying? If the first person happens to let go of his end, how much torque does the second person needs to exert...

An object of mass m is in a circular orbit another heavier object of mass M. The radius of the orbit is R. (a) Derive the speed of the orbiting object. (b) Use this speed to derive the period of the circular orbit. (c) Use your answer and the provided value to determine the period of Earth’s orbit around the Sun based on our simplified circular motion model. Compare this to the actual value which you can look up. Use...

You are designing an experiment to investigate the effect of odor on alertness. In this experiment, 10 subjects will experience the experimental condition (smelling peppermint) and another 10 will be given the control condition (odorless). You know that age significantly affects the sense of smell, with people over the age of 60 showing a decreased ability to identify odors. A total of 20 subjects of all ages (18-80) have signed up for the experiment. How would you assign them to...

How small an object has to be before it starts to show quantum mechanical affects? Like if we keep hypothetically breaking down a macroscopic object smaller and smaller, in which size (negative power of metre) does it begin to show quantum mechanical affects? Like it being in 2 places unless we measure it's position.

An object of mass m1 approaches with velocity v1 another object of mass m2, which is at rest, next to a spring having force constant k. The spring is fixed to a wall and m2 can compress the spring. This is one-dim horizontal collision without friction. We consider two collision scenarios, one which is perfectly inelastic, and the other which is elastic. (a) In the first collision case the object m1 strikes m2 and sticks. Moving together, they compress the...

1. First, an object 1 with mass m and an object 2 with mass 2 m are moving on a straight line at velocities v1i = 1.00 m / s and v2i = -2.00 m / s. Two objects collided inelastically, and the velocities of object 1 and object 2 changed to v1f and vf2, respectively. The velocity is positive in the right direction, and no external force is acting on these two objects. Find v1f and vf2 for cases...
