In our physics lab, we did a experiment regarding Hooke's law, and the goal is to find the spring constant by using a simulation. In the first section of the procedure, our instructor intentionally give us the wrong instruction, which tells us to find spring constant using varying mass, delta x and constant gravity. In the second section of the procedure, we need to figure out what went wrong in the first section that caused us to incorrectly measure the spring constant? The hint we are given is to find the spring constant by varying the gravity at fixed mass. Many thanks!

Learning Goal: To understand the use of Hooke's law for a spring. Hooke's law states that the restoring force F⃗ on a spring when it has been stretched or compressed is proportional to the displacement x⃗ of the spring from its equilibrium position. The equilibrium position is the position at which the spring is neither stretched nor compressed. Recall that F⃗ ∝x⃗ means that F⃗ is equal to a constant times x⃗ . For a spring, the proportionality constant is called the spring constant...

My physics class is working on Ohm's law and we did a lab about series and parallel circuits. While doing the lab report I got stuck on this question below. Please help! "What contributed to the percentage difference? In other words, account for sources of errors." This is my data: Part I Voltage (V) Current (A) Resistance (Ω) R = V/I % diff. 33 0.33A 100 0 45 0.45A 100 0 60 0.60A 100 0 75 0.75A 100 0 90...

In my lab, we conducted an experiment to demonstrate both Hess' Law and the fundamentals of enthalpy via the formation of magnesium oxide. In this experiment, 2 specific sub-reactions were conducted: 1. MgO(s) + 2HCl(aq) > MgCl2(aq) + H2O(l) 2. Mg(s) + 2HCl(aq) > MgCl2(aq) + H2(g) In these two reactions, different concentrations of HCl were used: the first reaction called for 100mL of 6M HCl, while the second reaction called for 120mL of 6M HCl. The lab manual says...

In our lab experiment, we filtered CaCl and CaOH2 solutions that we prepared the previous week and transferred both of the filtrates using a 25 ml pipette into two erlenmeyer flasks. We then prepared the standard HCl by pipeting 100 ml of HCl to prepare 250 ml of 0.04M HCl from the 0.1 M HCl solution that we initially had. We pipeted 100 ml of HCl into a 250 ml volumetric flask and diluted to the mark. The buret was...

We did a lab studying resistance and Ohm’s Law. In my lab, my light bulb circuit element did not obey Ohm’s law b/c my data did not convey a proportional relationship between voltage drop and current. How do I answer: If either or both of your circuit elements did not obey Ohm’s Law, can you think of any reasons for the non-ohmic behavior? In other words what might be happening to one or both of the elements as the applied...

We want to determine the constant of a spring using Hooke's Law as reference. From the experiment we can extract the following pairs (Applied Force (N), How much the spring elogated (m)): {(2,4),(4,7),(7,15),(8,16)}. a) Determine the value that minimizes the cuadratic error for the constant of the spring (F=kx) b) Could we find an approximate solution that generates a residual vector r with cuadratic norm ||r||^2 = 0.45?(Remember that r = b - ?? ̂. )

Chemistry question: We did an experiment in lab and I need to figure out how to A) calculate the mols of NaOH used in titration B) calculate mols HCl in titration C) calculate mols of CaCO3 reacted D) calculate grams of CaCO3 reacted E) calculate percentage of CaCO3 in TUMS. I really need to see all the steps that way I can understand what is going on. We did four titrations with the following information 38 mL HCl, 19.913 g...

We did Knoevenagel-Robinson experiment in organic lab. To check for the product's purity (ethyl 3-coumarincarboxylate), we used the thin layer chromatography technique. We dissolved a small amount of the solid crystals in dichloromethane and added a drop of the solution to a plate. Then, we ran the chromatography. We used two mobile phases in two different beakers. One contained 10% ethyl acetate/hexane solution and the other contained 20% ethyl acetate/hexane solution. We put a plate containing a drop of the...

So, we did a Beer's Law lab and I am trying to find out how to find the concentrations to make the absorbace vs concentration graph. Say the path length is 1.0 cm, how do you find the molar absorbtivity (in order to get the concentrations with A = epsilon * path length * concentration)? I think there is a way to get the molar absorbtivity from the wavelength vs absorbance graph but I'm not sure how. Our data is...
