Module 05 Course Project – Quantum Mechanics Research Paper

Module 05 Content

  1. In a two-page paper, research three examples of technologies that use quantum mechanics. Explain, in your own words, how these applications impact society. If you or someone you know has ever had an MRI scan for a medical diagnosis, you have experienced the result of quantum physics for measuring bodily structures. Finally, provide another specific example from your own life (CT OF THE ABDOMEN) that could be influenced by these applications.

    Paper must use a minimum of two source, use proper spelling and grammar, and follow APA format.

Module 04 Course Project – Einstein’s Physics Compare/Contrast Paper

In a two-page paper, identify the physics principles contained within the following scenario. Explain how these principals connect to Einstein’s theory of relativity or in modern applications in physics. If you use a GPS option on your car or a mobile device, you are using Einstein’s theory of relativity. Finally, provide another example from your own experience, then compare and contrast your scenario to the provided example below.

Paper uses proper spelling and grammar and any sources must be cited using APA format.

Scenario:

Mandy took a trip to Rome, Italy. She gazed out over the open ocean 20,000 feet below as her airplane began its descent to her final destination of Rome. It had been a long flight from New York to Rome, but she as she stretched, and her bones creaked as though she was old, she knew that in fact, she was a tiny bit younger than her compatriots back home, thanks to traveling at hundreds of miles per hour. In fact, time for her was running slowly compared to her friends in New York for two reasons: the speed at which she had traveled and the height of the airplane above the Earth. Neither, though, were noticeable.

Discussion assignment

  Describe the importance of a universal standard measuring system (SI units) in scientific work. Include at least two examples of real-life situations in which the use (or non-use) of SI units affected the outcome of the situation. In many countries, SI units are standard, but this is not true in the United States. In your opinion, why have we not adopted SI units in the United States? Do you think the United States will (or should) in the future? 

physics lab assignment

   After completing this lab activity, the students should be able to:

  • Calculate velocity
  • Calculate acceleration
  • Determine position, velocity, and acceleration using the graphs
  • Write a lab report

Lab ReportThe lab report must include the following:

  • Title
  • Introduction
  • Experimental Details or Theoretical Analysis
  • Results
  • Discussion
  • Conclusions and Summary
  • References

An example of a lab report is given on the following website:Lab ActivityPlease follow the steps given below to conduct the experiment:

  • This lab requires you to produce a lab report to determine Velocity and Acceleration. This is the Title of your lab report.
  • Read the relevant chapter on velocity and acceleration and add an Introduction.

You conduct this lab by connecting to the PhET website by clicking on the link given below (or where applicable through the embedded simulation on the lab page):Attribution: University of Colorado Boulder  (If you cannot use the above simulation or cannot get to the website by clicking on the link, please copy and paste the link into your browser. If the simulation is not running, please check if you have the latest Java, Adobe Flash, or HTML5 software [depending on the simulated lab]. If you download the relevant software and attempt to run the simulation and it is still not working, please call the IT helpdesk. It also could be that your computer does not have sufficient space to run the simulation. Please check all the possibilities).

  • For this experiment, you use the Charts section of the lab. After you click the Charts section of the lab, select the “velocity” and “acceleration” tools (left-hand side). You can change the position, velocity, and acceleration values as per the scenarios given below and relevant graphs will appear on the screen. (Also, note the “record” button at the bottom of the simulation. You can select this function and run the simulation. Then, use the “playback” button to view the experiment again to note the time values for that scenario.) This information constitutes the Experimental Details section of the lab report. You must keep a record of the details information of the graphs appearing on the screen as experimental values for each scenario. These values form part of the Results section of the lab report. Now, complete the theoretical calculations of velocity and acceleration for each scenario using relevant equations. These calculated values also form the Results section of the lab report.
  • Now, you can complete the Discussion section of your lab report by comparing the values and discussing any differences in the theoretical and experimental values and any other information relevant to the experiment.
  • Complete the lab report by adding a summary to the Conclusion section of your lab report.
  • Submit the lab report to the relevant Canvas Dropbox

Lab ScenariosUsing the Moving Man simulation chart section, develop Position v. Time, Velocity v. Time, and Acceleration v. Time graphs for the following scenarios and use them as the experimental results of your lab report (screenshots or take pictures of the graphs or hand-drawn graphs with actual time values). Remember to explain the graphs, how to calculate velocity or acceleration, and what information can be gathered from the area under each graph in your discussion section.1. Constant velocity (10 m/s) in the positive direction for 10m. 2. Constant velocity (-4 m/s) in the negative direction for 5m. 3. Constant acceleration (4 m/s2) in the positive direction for 10m.4. Constant acceleration (-5 m/s2) in the negative direction for 5m.Please discuss (without using the simulation), the following two scenarios:1. An object is travelling in a positive direction and change to a negative velocity – discuss. What possibilities are there for acceleration values?2. An object is travelling in a negative direction and change to a positive velocity – discuss. What possibilities are there for acceleration values?N.B.: When operating the simulation, it is better to enter only the velocity or acceleration value for each scenario. Do not enter the position values, since this would change the initial position. You control the position value by stopping the simulation when the man has moved the desired distance.
