Document Summary

10/18 all action requires a mover and something to be moved. The sense power is in potentiality what sort the sensible [is already in actuality: sense power is able to become like what the sensible is. 417a sensible qualities require bodies passive power: sense perception is a passive 1st actuality. Mover does not have to be external to the thing moved. Sense perception is a motion of a sort it is moved by the sensible. Green insofar as green is sensible in potentiality or insofar as green is sensible in actuality: actually painted green. If something is sensible in actuality the it is actually being sensed. Green makes the wall be colored gives power to be perceived: the wall cannot sense therefore it is in potentiality.

1.The radio telescope in Arecibo, Puerto Rico has a diameter of 300m, and is able to detect radio signals with a power of as little as6Ã10-22 W. If the alien inhabitants of a planet 100 light-yearsaway are trying to contact us, what is the minimum power theirtransmitter must have if its signal is to be detectable at Arecibo?Assume that the aliens transmit omnidirectionally. State youranswer to two significant digits.

---I think I am doing something wrong with the intensity formulabecause it keeps telling me I am getting it wrong.

A mass m rests on a frictionless horizontal table and isconnected to rigid supports via 2 identical springs each of relaxedlength L0 and spring constantk. Each spring is stretched to a length L considerable greater thanL0. Horizontal displacementsof m from its equilibrium position are labeled x and y.

(Diagram insert didn't work, all it really tells you is that xis on the axis of the springs and y is perpendicular to thesprings)

a) Write down the differential equation of motion (i.e.,Newton's Law) governing small oscillations in the xdirection.

b) Same as a but in the y direction (assume that y <<L).

c) In terms of L and L0, calculate the ratio of the periods ofthe oscillations along x and y.

d) If at t=0 the mass m is released from the point x = y = A0with zero velocity, what are its x and y coordinates at any latertime t?

---------------------------

So, I started with just ma = -2kx for a, leading me to thedifferential equation x''(t) + (2k/m) x = 0.

Then I did basically the same thing with y.

However, when I get to c, there's my problem - I don't knowhow I could write any of this in L and L0.

Also, b doesn't really make sense to me because if y is smallwhen compared to L, it seems like there shouldn't be anyoscillation in the y direction.

The answer the back of the book shows for c and d are:

c) Tx/Ty = (1 - L0 / L)1/2

d) x(t) = A0cos( (2k/m)1/2 t)

y(t) = A0cos( (2k(L-L0)/mL)1/2 t)

I have no idea how they got to these answers. Can somebodyhelp me? It has something to do with springs already beingstretched, but it seems they are making an assumption somewherethat I don't understand.

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?)

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.
