This activity focuses on vibratory motion. In particular, we look at pendulum motion. Put simply, vibratory motion is the back and forth motion of an object as a result of a restoring force or influence such as spring force (in the case of spring motion) and gravity (in the case of pendulum motion). Items Needed: string or yarn a small object that you can tie a string to and use as a pendulum bob a watch or timer a ruler
1. Hang or suspend an object using a string of length L = 20 cm.
2. Pull the object to one side and release.
3. Using a watch, measure the time t the object takes to make 10 complete swings.
4. The period T is the time it takes for an object to make 1 vibration or swing. Determine the period of the pendulum motion.
T= t 10 =2π √ L g
5. Using different lengths of string, perform several trials of the experiment.
6. In the report, describe and discuss your observations.

The reaction
NO(g) + O3 -> NO2(g) + O2(g)
was studied in 2 experiments under pseudo-first order conditions.
a) [O3] = 1x1014 molecules/cc in excess
the [NO] varied as follows {Note, time is in msec (1 msec = 1x10-3 s)!}
time (msec) NO (molecules/cc)
0 6x108
100 5x108
500 2.4x108
700 1.7x108
1000 9.9x107
b) [NO] = 2x1014 molecules/cc in excess
time (msec) O3 (molecules/cc)
0 1x1010
50 8.4x109
100 7x109
200 4.9x109
300 3.4x109
a) what is the order of reaction with respect to NO?
b) what is the order of reaction with respect to O3?
c) what is the overall rate law?
d) what is the pseudo-first order rate from experiment a); what overall rate coefficient does this give? (overall rate should be in cm3 molecule-1 s-1.)
e) what is the pseudo-first order rate from experiment b); what overall rate coefficient does this give?

Medical testing: enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) test for presence of antigen or antibody
EXPERIMENTAL PROTOCOL
In this laboratory, you will test seven different patients using a direct ELISA. We have access to serum samples from the main characters of the TV show The Big Bang Theory. You will test each of them for the presence of ZIKA virus and HIV, as well as perform a pregnancy test, using known antigens/antibodies for those diseases/test. Students will work in pairs. Serum for each character of the Big Bang Theory has been incubated overnight at 4°C in the wells of an ELISA plate.
| Testing | Control | Sheldon | Penny | Leonard | Raj | Bernadetts | Howard | Amy |
| Zika | + | + | + | + | ||||
| hCG (pregnancy) | + | + | ||||||

When researches incubate whole red blood cells with
lactoperoxidase, hydrogen peroxide and radioactive iodine I 125 and
then separate the proteins in SDS gel, several radioactive lines
are obtained cause iodine binds to prominent tyrosine and histidine
residues outside the cell membrane.
When researches incubate whole red blood cells with galactose
oxidase and reduce them with sodium borohydride that contains
tritium (H-BH43) several radioactive lines are obtained which are
just some of the proteins that have been marked with radioactive
iodine , thus galactose residues stand out of the cell.
a) Explain the difference in the number of proteins obtained in the
two experiments above
b) Why the results of the second experiment do not reflect mark of
all the sugars in the membrane?
c) What results will be obtained if we conduct an experiment
identical to that described in the question but with inverse
vesicles (these are closed vesicles containing all membrane
components but where the outer leaf of the membrane turns inward
and inward leaf outward)? Thank you!

Based on results, does it appear that there is sufficient evidence to claim that the drug lowers pulse rate? Are there any serious problems with the design of the experiment? Given this was only involving males, can we say that results apply to females? Is there a better way in measuring the drug's effectiveness in lowering pulse rates? How would you characterize the overall validity of the experiment? Based on available results, should the drug be approved?
