Document Summary

John paul ii: love is the opposite of using. There is a goodness in being with that person themself. No one desires to be used as a means to an end. Pleasure is a consequence of wanting to become one with one another. When we seek pleasure for the sake of pleasure, we are left unsatisfied. We achieve pleasure when we find it through surprise. Pleasure is a paradox: it comes when we least expect it. Anyone and everyone can be an object of affection. Familiarity is the reason why you have a relationship (has nothing to do with qualities that you enjoy in that person). This type of love has nothing to do with love as the unification of persons. They bond solely on the basis of physical presence. We are connected because of some mutual otherness. (the otherness could be good or bad. ) Friendship is not good for the political regime.

The kinetic theory of gases states that the kinetic energy of a gas is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas. A relationship between the microscopic properties of the gas molecules and the macroscopic properties of the gas can be derived using the following assumptions: The gas is composed of pointlike particles separated by comparatively large distances. The gas molecules are in continual random motion with collisions being perfectly elastic. The gas molecules exert no long-range forces on each other. One of the most important microscopic properties of gas molecules is velocity. There are several different ways to describe statistically the average velocity of a molecule in a gas. The most obvious measure is the average velocity Vavg. However, since the molecules in a gas are moving in random directions, the average velocity is approximately zero. Another measure of velocity is (V^2)avg, the average squared velocity. Since the square of velocity is always positive, this measure does not average to zero over the entire gas. A third measure is the root-mean-square (rms) speed,Vrms , equal to the square root of (V^2)avg. The rms speed is a good approximation of the the typical speed of the molecules in a gas. This histogram (Figure 1) shows a theoretical distribution of speeds of molecules in a sample of nitrogen () gas. In this problem, you'll use the histogram to compute properties of the gas.

 

Part A
What is the average speedv_avgof the molecules in the gas?
Part B

Because the kinetic energy of a single molecule is related to its velocity squared, the best measure of the kinetic energy of the entire gas is obtained by computing the mean squared velocity,(v^2)_{\rm avg}, or its square rootv_rms. The quantityv_rmsis more common than(v^2)_{\rm avg}because it has the dimensions of velocity instead of the less-familiar velocity-squared.

What is the rms speedv_rmsof the molecules in the nitrogen gas?

Express your answer numerically to three significant digits.
Part C

What is the temperatureTof the sample of\rm N_2gas described in the histogram?

Express your answer in degrees Celsius to three significant figues.
I am so lost onwere to even begin. I just need help trying to find the Ѳ (angle)for part part 1 of the experiment if anyone can just explain how todo that and maybe give me a step-by-step example so I can finishthe rest. Thank you! Experiment 6 ~ Friction

Purpose:

In this lab, you will make some basic measurements of friction.You will measure the coefficients of staticfriction between several combinations of surfaces using aninclined plane, and you will measure the coefficient ofkinetic friction between two of the combinationsof surfaces you used in the static friction part of thisexperiment.

Part 1: StaticFriction

Theory:

The coefficient of static frictionms can be measured experimentally foran object placed on an inclined plane (a.k.a. ramp, a.k.a. hill).The coefficient of static friction is related to the criticalangle qc for the ramp, at whichthe object just begins to slide. Using what we havecovered in class, you can derive this relationshipyourself! At this critical angle, static friction preventing theobject from sliding down the hill is just exactly equal to thecomponent of the object’s weight along the hill. If the componentof the weight along the hill were just a little greater, it wouldovercome friction, and the object would start to slide down. Thefree body diagram for this situation will look like the figuresketched below. Use this diagram to find an equation that relatesms toqc.

FN = NormalForce = mg cos(θ)

FF =μs x FN = μs mg cos(θ)

ΣFx = mAx = FGx - FF = ?

FGx = mgsin(θ)

Hint #1: the angle q of the incline is the same as theangle between the normal force N and the weightmg. Why?

Hint #2: The weight mg can be broken into twocomponents. One component is along the incline(WH). The other component is “pressinginto the hill”, and is equal in magnitude to the normal forceN. (This is an example of a situation where the normalforce is not equal to the weight!) Remember that you need to usethe normal force to calculate friction, sincef=mN. Now calculate what the angle ofthe incline should be, so that the component of the weight down thehill is just exactly balanced by friction.

Equipment:

For this lab you will need to share the following ramps andblocks with other lab groups:

Ramps Blocks

Aluminum Aluminum

ParticleBoard Brass

StainlessSteel Plexiglass

Plastic Copper

Rubber

Steel

Wood

Experiment:

Test at least 5 different combinations of materials. Record thematerial of the block and the ramp for each combination.

1. Measure and record the length of theinclined plane you will be using. (This is thehypotenuse of the right triangle!)

2. Place the block on the plane and begin tiltingthe plane just until the point when the block begins to slide.

3. Measure the height of the raisedend of the inclined plane at this point. (This is theopposite side of the right triangle!) You cancalculate the angle from the measurements of the two sides.

4. Repeat the height measurement at least 3 timesfor each combination of materials. Record all the measurements inthe table below. Then,

(a) calculate the angle from the measurements of the hypotenuseand opposite side you just obtained

(b) use the equation you derived above in order to calculate thecoefficient of kinetic friction from the angle.

5. Remember that in class we said that friction does not dependon surface area. You can easily test whether or not this iscorrect. Choose a block/ramp combination not already tested, andmake sure the block is not a cube or cylinder. Place the block sothat the side with the larger surface area is in contact with theboard. Now measure the angle at which the block just begins toslide (by measuring the hypotenuse and opposite sides of thecorresponding right triangle). As before, calculate the coefficientof friction from the angle you measured, using your equation.Repeat this process with the side of the block with the smallersurface area in contact with the board. Enter this data in thesmall tables below.

Part 2: KineticFriction

Theory:

You can calculate the coefficient of kinetic friction,mk, using a variation of the methodyou used for the coefficient of static friction. For thecoefficient of kinetic friction, you can use the same free bodydiagram as the one drawn on the first page. But now, thecombination of WH and the force offriction will need to add up such that the block will slide at aconstant speed. Think of Newton’s first and second laws when youset up this equation. Derive a relationship between the criticalangle and the coefficient of kinetic friction.

Experiment:

You can measure mk using aprocedure similar to the one you used to measurems. This time, just pick twocombinations of materials. The combinations you pick for this partof the experiment have to be combinations you alreadyused for the static friction part of the experiment, because thepoint is to compare msandmk!

1. Measure and record the length ofthe inclined plane you will be using.

2. Raise the plane high enough for the blockto begin moving. Begin lowering the plane just until the pointwhen the block begins to slow down. (Alternatively, raise theboard while tapping the block until block moves at a constantrate.)

3. Measure the height of the raisedend of the inclined plane at this point.

4. Repeat the height measurement at least 3times for each combination of materials. Record all themeasurements in the table below. Then,

(a) calculate the angle from the measurements of the hypotenuseand opposite side you just obtained

(b) use the equation you derived above in order to calculate thecoefficient of kinetic friction from the angle.

2. Is the relationship betweenmsand mkwhat you expected?

3. Of the two parts of the experiment, measurement ofmsand measurement ofmk, which had more sources of error?What were some of the sources of error?

4. Could mk orms ever be greater than 1? Explain whyor why not.

5. Is the coefficient of friction the same as when the block wasstanding on its larger (or smaller) end?

6. Think about your results. Do they make sense when youconsider your everyday experiences?


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?)
