The safety issues related to the equipment and procedures used in the Physics 155 laboratory are as follows: electrical hazards, including potentially high current and ac line voltage (all
Objective: To understand how to report both a measurement and its uncertainty. Learn how to propagate uncertainties through calculations. Define, absolute and relative uncertainty, mean, standard deviation, and standard deviation of the mean. Equipment: meter stick, 1 kg mass, ruler, caliper, short wooden plank.
The experiments described in this manual are designed to accompany Physics 250. They are for the most part different in character from those done in conjunction with Physics 150-151. In those courses you studied macroscopic physics such as falling bodies and magnetic fields
Physics 2217 Spring 2020 Lab 1 – 3 Cornell University Welcome to the 2217 lab! This lab is intended to be an introduction to experimental physics in the context of electricity and magnetism. The lab aims to teach critical thinking through experimentation: how do we know what to trust and what to do?
Simple Harmonic Motion. When an object in stable equilibrium is displaced, a force acts to return it to its equilibrium position. If the restoring force is proportional to the displacement (a “linear” force), disturbing the object will result in a si-nusoidal motion, also called “simple harmonic motion (SHM).”.
This collection of Laboratory Exercises is the introductory physics laboratory manual used by Hunter College. The original exercises were developed by the Physics Faculty over thirty years ago. A number of revisions have since been made.
1. These laboratory exercises are designed to accompany and supplement the lectures in Physics 101, Concepts of Physics. The exercises are the product of much work by the physics faculty.
