Document Summary

The main function of the digestive system is to break down organic nutrients so that they can be absorbed into the body. These organic nutrients can be carbohydrates, proteins, fats, water, vitamins, and minerals. We will discuss how the digestive system performs this function as it applies to a relatively common (but not necessarily nutritious) meal a hamburger, fries, and a soda. The meat within the hamburger (assuming it is lean hamburger) is made up of mostly protein with a little fat (lipid). The hamburger bun and fries are made up of carbohydrates (fries also contain fat). The soda will consist mostly of water, carbohydrates, and some other dissolved substances. The basic processes of the digestive system include the following: secretion involves the release of digestive fluids into the lumen of the digestive tract. Digestion of your meal begins in the mouth, where it is broken down by chewing (or mastication) and is mixed with saliva to form a bolus.

A food particle from your breakfast takes a circuitous path through your digestive system. Suppose its motion over a period of time can be represented by the four displacement vectors depicted in the figure below. Let the vectors have magnitudes A = 7.8 cm, B = 17 cm, C = 22 cm, and D = 5.7 cm.

Part A: What is the magnitude of the total displacement of the food particle?

Part B: What is the direction of the total displacement of the food particle?

Part C: If the average speed of the particle is 0.010 mm/s, what is the magnitude of its average velocity over the time interval of the four displacements?


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?)

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.
