Inquiry Lab Results

Inquiry Lab Results

 

Vinegar and chalk react to form a gas and yellow pigment

 

Vinegar and chalk (whole) gives of a small amount of gas

 

Vinegar and chalk (ground up) produces a larger amount of gas.

 

Increasing the amount of time grinding up the chalk increased the amount of gas

 

Changing the fluid volume of vinegar to the mass amount of chalk changes the amount of gas

 

A large portion of vinegar and a small amount of chalk appears to produce the most amount of gas

 

Stirring the solution of chalk and vinegar makes more gas.

 

Heating up the vinegar increases the amount of gas.

 

Reaching the point of boiling the vinegar decrease the amount of gas.

 

In a balanced equation, you need twice the amount of molecules of vinegar to chalk.

 

There is a unique relationship between grams, a unit called a mole and atomic molecular mass.

 

Example

 

I mole of a compound represents 6.02 x 10 to the 23 power of atoms or particles.

 

The atomic mass represents the number of grams /mole of a substance

 

Hydrogen has an atomic mass of 1 amu

Hydrogen has atom mass of 1 gram/mole

I mole of Hydrogen atom has a mass of 1 gram

 

Water has atomic mass of 18 amu ( 2xH + 1 Oxygen)

Water has atomic mass of 18 grams/mole

1 mole of Water equals 18 grams.

 

It might be useful to know the density of vinegar to calculate the grams/ml

Topic

Number One

Put simply

Physics is about examining forces, energy and motion between objects. It attempts to examine how things interact from a mathematical point of view. It explores the diversity of energy in motion (kinetic) and stored (potential).

 

Chemistry is about exploring how individual atoms have their own unique properties and how these properties help to explain how groups of may behave.

 

An atom is a self contained moving object with a center, called the nucleus and a cloud of electrons that surround that nucleus.

 

Each atom can provide and or store energy.

 

The structure of an atom influences how it interacts with other atoms.

 

Many models of the atom are misleading. Lets explore why..

Other stuff! These are not true statements, can you explain why?

·      Only one model of the atom is correct.

·  The electrons in an atom orbit its nucleus like planets in our solar system orbit the sun

·  Electron clouds are pictures of electrons in their orbits.

·  The electron cloud is like a rain cloud, with electrons inside of it like drops of water.

·  An electron cloud has electrons in it, but the cloud itself is made of some other material.

·  Hydrogen is a typical atom.

·  Electrons are larger than protons.

·  Electrons and protons are the only fundamental particles.

·  The current model of the atom is the right model.

·  Atoms can disappear after time.

·  Atoms are microscopic versions of elements—hard or soft, liquid or gas, and so forth.

·  Atoms can be seen with a microscope.

·  Atoms move, so they are alive.

·  An electron shell is hard, like an eggshell.

·  Atoms “own” the electrons in their orbits.

Cartoon physics

Click on the above title  and you should see document with pictures included

Science 10 : Comic Physics Project

Have you ever wondered what you favourite cartoon character would be thinking if they were physicist?

 

“Here is a famous world war one flying ace about to defy the forces of gravity.

If I leave the ground at 7am and travel at a fixed velocity of 100 miles an hour, when will I reach the front lines which are 600 kilometers away? What about my acceleration? How can this dog house defy the laws of gravity? “

 

Your mission is to select five physics situations from the following list:

 

Moving with a fixed velocity

·         Going up

·         Going down

·         Going fast

·         Going slow

·         Going forward

·         Going Backwards

·         Staying in one place

 

Acceleration

·         Speeding up

·         Slowing down

·         Going upward

·         Going downward

·         Fixed velocity

·         Due to Gravity

 

 

The famous world war one flying takes to the sky’s above Europe in search of the dreaded Red Baron

Part One

A)     From this list of 13 options select five examples that you want to show as a physics graph and as a cartoon.

·         For example

Snoopy is taking off to fight the Red Baron

Make a graph to show lifting of the ground as a velocity verses time line.

Part Two

Select three of your examples and complete the story as shown in the next table.

Write up on 8×11 paper

Format should be typed

 

 

Physics Explanation

 

 

Cartoon Situation
Formulas and Theories

 

Gravity is a force that takes affect as soon as the object starts to move. As the object falls the velocity of the object changes so there is acceleration.

 

From the first graph, we notice that in less than a few seconds the distance travelled by the object is rapidly increasing. The formula for determining the velocity of a falling object after a time of t seconds is

vf = g * t

 

 

Example Calculations:

At t = 6 s vf = (9.8 m/s2) * (6 s) = 58.8 m/s

At t = 8 s vf = (9.8 m/s2) * (8 s) = 78.4 m/s

 

 

In the Cartoon shown Wile E Coyote remains frozen in space until he looks down.

 

The longer he does not look down the less likely the force of gravity apply

 

Though cartoon physics is funny, it does not Even

Remember that next week is a lab practical and a pretest of the unit.

 

http://fc.yesnet.yk.ca/~Jennifer.bonny/S01E1A0ED.3/BC10_examstudy_U3.pdf

 

If you go to page 36, you will find an answer key to al quiz questions.

 

You should start with checking you vocabulary strength by looking at glossary on page 35 and making cue cards to quiz your self.

 

Also look at this quizlet.

https://quizlet.com/35118576/bc-science-10-unit-3-motion-flash-cards/

 

How to avoid making mistakes in any physics questions.

1.1      Do not start calculations with a calculator

1.2      Extract the facts from the question.

1.3      Check to see if any units do not match (for example time is in seconds and velocity is in km/hour.

1.4      Convert units without numerical values first to make sure units cancel.

1.5      Simplify conversion after adding numerical units.

1.6      Do not use the calculator prior to simplification

1.7      Show your work, in long hand and with units.

1.8      Once you calculate the answer with calculator, does the answer make sense ( the object was moving at 350 m/sec2. This means that an object is changing velocity almost nine times the force of gravity. If the question is about an accelerating snail, the answer just does not make sense!

1.9      If you simplify your work, and round up or down to a factor of ten, you can get a great ballpark answer to compare with. For example 38/ 7 is close to 40/10.

1.10   Go back to rule number one!
