Document Summary

Orphanage doesn"t necessarily mean that the children left are left poor and vulnerable they"re not directly correlated. One reason could be that various family members step in and provide a better standard of life. A term associated with geography and particularly derek gregory"s book of the title. He draws from post colonial and feminist theory to deconstruct colonial views of the world. The idea of geographical imagination is to suggest that all or most ideas we have of the world have a geography associated to it (ex. Emphasizes the power the west has over the world extends beyond military and economic power to the stereotypes it has about the east. Gender is used to suggest the backwardness of eastern countries. West is viewed as a collective, equality-based country while the east is viewed as out of control. These geographical stereotypes have real power america"s policy towards the middle. East would be very different if the stereotypes were different.

During your biking tour of the Pacific Northwest, you decidetooutdo those latte-guzzling ecotopians at their own game. Insteadofthe four toxic and disposable 1.5-volt batteries suggested foryourwalkabout CD player, you will place a 2.0 m conductingwandacross your handlebars. Pedaling furiously in adirectionperpendicular to the local magnetic field, you wish to gofastenough to induce a potential difference of 6.0 V (equivalenttofour batteries in series). (a) The strength of the Earth'smagneticfield at your location is 5.0Ã10â5 T. Howfast will you need to go?(b) Is this speed street-legal? (c) Themagnetic declination at yourlocation is 19Â°. At what anglefrom geographic north should youtravel to maximize the potentialdifference of yourenvironment-friendly arrangement?

Theory: Topics that you should be familiar with are: significantfigures, least count and estimated fraction, systematic and randomerrors, accuracy versus precision, percent difference and percenterror. These topics should have been covered in class already (orperhaps in an introduction to the lab manual or in a handout). Itis assumed that the instructor has discussed how to use the massbalance, etc.
Introduction: The goal of section I of this experiment is tomeasure (to the correct least count and estimated fraction) andcalculate (to the correct number of significant figures) thedensity of a metal ball and compare it to a table of accepteddensities (?=7.8x103 kg/m3).
To accomplish this goal keep in mind that: ? = m/V and Vsphere =(4/3) p r3
In the space below create a data table, show your calculations indetail, and compare your measured answer to accepted values givenabove. (Would you calculate a percent error or a percentdifference?)

II. Is g (the acceleration due to gravity) a constant? If so, whatis it?

For each trial measure thedisplacement and record your results as precisely as possible. Becareful how you measure the displacement!

Question and further procedures
1. What is the greatest source of error in performing theexperiment? Is this error random or systematic? Explain.
2. At this point you should have calculated g in two different ways(A quadratic graph, and a linear graph). Which technique do youthink is best? Do all two techniques give the same answer? If not,which technique do you think has the most error?
3. How might you modify your procedures to determine whether or notg depends on the mass of the falling object? Do the experiment andcalculate g using your favorite technique.
