Quiz; Scientific Method
Mary Barto S7 9//13/16
Directions: R ead the following description of an experiment and complete the
components of the scientific method.
Experiment: Mr. Smithers believes that a special compound could help his workers
produce more “widgets” in one week. The chemical supply store sent him 3 different
compounds to try on his 100 workers. The following are the chemicals:
A. Sodium chloride
B. Magnesium hydroxide
C. Calcium sulfate
D. Water
*Help Mr. Smithers design an effective experiment and write a conclusion that analyzes
your results.
Problem Statement
How does the different compounds affect the amount of work done in one week?
Hypothesis
If the different compounds are tested, then the people that test the water will complete more
work than the others because it provides more nutrients to restore our body with energy.
Independent Variable (different compounds)
Sodium Chloride Magnesium Calcium Sulfate Water
Hydroxide
Dependent Variable Same job (Making widgets)
How many widgets are produced.
Constants (Pick 2)
Same amount of each compound (500 ml)
Same amount of time (One week)
Control
Water
Basic Procedures:
(List 5-8 steps)
1. Start by splitting people into different but equal test groups.
2. Then, pour 500 ml of Sodium Chloride, Magnesium Hydroxide, Calcium Sulfate, and
Water for the people taking part in the experiment.
3. Give the workers the liquid to drink (make sure everyone drinks all of it.)
4. Have the people being experimented on work for one week.
5. Count up how many widgets each group made within the week.
6. Record the data from the experiment.
7. Share the results from the overall experiment.
Data Table: (Place data table here)
Type of Compound Amount of Widgets Made
Sodium Chloride 999
Magnesium Hydroxide 1,312
Calcium Sulfate 2,153
Water 1, 654
Graph: (Place graph here)
Conclusion:
After completing and recording the data from the experiment, I have come to a
conclusion that my hypothesis is inaccurate. I hypothesized that the water would have a greater
affect on how many widgets the workers made due to the nutrients provided, but my results
show that the Calcium Sulfate had a better effect. The calcium sulfate group made 2,153
widgets while the group with water made 1,654. There was a difference of 499 widgets made
between the calcium sulfate and water groups. Then the two lower groups were Magnesium
Hydroxide with 1,312 widgets made and Sodium Chloride with 999 widgets made. The overall
results make sense due to the fact that the calcium sulfate includes calcium which supports
growth and development with bones, joints, muscles and other parts of your body. For example,
a baby drinks milk which includes calcium because it develops growth and helps the muscular,
skeletal and respiratory systems. In conclusion, calcium sulfate had the greatest impact on the
amount of widgets made.
Density Lab Quiz
1. The scientist collected an object with a density of 6.4 g/cm3 and a
volume of 79 cm3 . What is the mass of this object?
M=DxV
M=6.4g/cm3 x79cm3
M=505.6g/cm3
2. An irregularly shaped stone was lowered into a graduated cylinder
holding a volume of water equal to 50.0mL. The height of the water rose
to 68 mL. If the mass of the stone was 125.0g, what was its density?
D=M/V
D=125g/18cm3
D=6.94g/cm3
3. A scientist had 350.0 grams of Gold (Au) and a 530.0 gram sample of
Silver on the lab table. Which metal would have a greater volume
(cm3)? Explain. *Show all work.
Gold=19.32g/cm3 Silver=10.49g/cm3
Gold:
V=M/D
V=350g/19.32g/cm3
V=18.12cm3
Silver:
V=M/D
V=530g/10.49g/cm3
V=50.52cm3
The silver would have the greatest volume in cm3 b ecause the silver
has a greater mass than the gold but has a lower density than the
gold. In conclusion, the silver will have a higher mass than the gold
will.
4. Explain why the Titanic sank after hitting the iceberg. Use data to
explain your answer.
The Titanic was made of iron and steel. The density of iron and steel
is 7.87g/cm3 and 7.60g/cm3. The Titanic hit an iceberg which caused
water to rush into the ship. The average density of the iron, steel, and
water flooding the boat, was greater than the rest of the water’s
density therefore causing the ship to sink.

boiling point of water.
● Record the temperatures on the following data table:
C onstruct a graph of your results. *Use Link on Classroom
● Respond to the Critical Thinking Questions
Graph:
Critical Thinking Questions:
1. When did the temperatures stay the same on the graph? Why did the
temperatures stay the same at 2 points during the lab?
The temperatures stayed the same at the beginning and end. This is because the
ice was a solid and not liquid yet, which was causing the temperature to stay
cold. The temperature stayed cold for a while because for water to be a solid, it
must be frozen. In the end it was ard for the temperature to increase because it
was starting to have a similar heat to the hot plate which was causing it to stay
the same for the while. Also, the molecules had already expanding a lot and it
was hard for them to keep expanding and let the water boil. The last reason for it
being harder was the water was giving of steam (gas) so the beaker was losing
little bits of water.
2. How would the graph be different if we tried this experiment with Gold?
Explain:
If we tried this experiment with gold, the experiment would be different because it
would take longer for the gold to melt because it has a greater mass and density
than ice does and it would take a longer time to melt, therefore causing the graph
to be in negative or low numbers for a while.
3. What is the role of energy during the phase changes?
The energy exchanges are playing the role of breaking the bond between the
molecules and the substance within each phase.
4. Describe the motion of the molecules throughout the experiment. Find
diagrams that show the motion.
Throughout the experiment, the molecules start to vibrate faster and faster
causing the molecules to separate farther from each other.
5. How does the Average Kinetic Energy change throughout the experiment?
The Average Kinetic Energy changes throughout the experiment because the
speed of the molecules to move faster when it is warmer, causing the
temperature to go up.
6. Suppose you had 200 mL of ice in one beaker and 400 mL of ice in another
beaker. Compare and explain the following in the beakers after they have
reached the boiling point:
A. Heat Energy The 400 mL of ice would have a greater Heat Energy because
there is a larger mass/quantity of the ice while the 400 mL would have a
smaller amount of Heat Energy.
B. Temperature Both the 400 and 200 mL of ice would have the same specific
heat because they have the same temperature.
C. Average Kinetic Energy B oth the 400 and 200 mL of ice would have the
same specific heat because they have the same temperature.
D. Specific Heat B oth the 400 and 200 mL of ice would have the same specific
heat because they have the same temperature.
E. Latent Heat L atent Heat is the heat required to convert substance- in this
case ice- throughout its different phases. They both would have the same
Latent Heat because for everything the freezing point is 0 degrees and the
boiling point is 100 degrees.

Write a Conclusion (____ out of 4):
Overall, the Aluminum requires more heat energy to melt and boil. To be exact, the
Aluminum needs 386422.4 more calories of heat energy to melt and boil. Although the
Gold has a higher melting point (1063 C) and boiling point (2800 C), Aluminum needs
more heat energy. Aluminum's melting point is 660 C and the boiling point is 2467 C. The
gold and the aluminum have the same mass of 65 grams but have different specific heats
(aluminum= 0.21cal/gC and gold= 0.03cal/gC) heat of vaporization (aluminum=2500cal/g
and gold= 377cal/g), heat of fusion (aluminum= 95cal/g and gold 15cal/g), melting point,
boiling point and the amount of heat energy needed (aluminum= 415289.55 cal and gold=
28867.15 cal). In conclusion, the aluminum requires more calories of heat energy than
gold does.
Questions:
1. How are Heat and Temperature different for the following pictures of boiling water?
Explain: (Hint: Use the Heat equation)
Heat and temperature are extremely different. For instance, two waters with
different masses such as the Atlantic Ocean and a small beaker of water can have the
same temperature but different amounts of heat. This is because the Atlantic Ocean has
a greater mass than the water in the beaker causing the mass to be different in the heat
energy equation. Then, the Atlantic Ocean will come out with a higher number because it
has a greater mass than the small beaker holding water does. If the water were boiling in
the beaker and in the Atlantic Ocean, it would be safer to pour the water from the beaker
of yourself instead of the Atlantic Ocean because there is a greater amount of boiling
water in the Atlantic Ocean than in the cup. In conclusion, mass plays a large role in the
difference of heat and temperature.
2. Water has a Specific Heat of 1.0 cal/gC and Gold has a Specific Heat of 0.03 cal/gC.
Use the data to explain the difference between their numbers.
There are various reasons for the difference in Specific Heat between water and
gold. For example, gold is a metal and water isn’t. Metals have a lower specific heat
because there is less heat required to raise the temperature of the metal than water. To
explain further, the gold requires 0.03cal/gC to raise the temperature while water needs
1cal/gC to raise its temperature. To conclude, water and gold have different specific
heats.

IV. Conclusion: Explain the difference between Mixtures and Compounds using data. Compare
the pie charts.
Mixtures and compounds have various differences. For example, a mixture is a
substance made by mixing other substances together. For instance, an example of a mixture
would be Large Rocks, Small Rocks, Coarse Sand and Iron. A compound is a thing that is
composed of two or more separate elements. For example, a compound would be considered
Na3PO4. Mixtures are made from various mediums, while compounds are made out elements
from the periodic table. The mixtures tend to have different ranges than the compounds
because many of the compounds have to be multiplied to get the mass to find the percentage.
To show, the total mass of the mixture of (Mixture B) Large Rocks, Small Rocks, Coarse Sand
and Iron was 389 g and the total mass of the compound Na3 P O4 , was 174 g. The mixture B has
large rocks at 52.10%, small rocks at 14.91%, coarse sand at 24.93% and 7.46% of iron. This
all adds up to exactly 100%. In contrast, Na3PO4 was 42.1% Na3, 18.9% P and 39% O4. As
shown in the data, the compounds percentages were numbered more closely as the mixtures
were more spread apart. The mass of each component or element in the mixture or compound
has a huge effect on the mass. In conclusion, mixtures and compounds have many differences.
Bonus:
Explain how you separated the Salt from the Sand. Use as much new vocabulary as you can.
I separated the salt from the sand by saturated the sand with water. The water grasped the
sand and came out of the funnel and into the beaker. Afterwards, I had the water meat its
boiling point. I kept it on the heater till all of the water evaporated and all that was left was the
salt. The salt was close to its melting point, so the salt was almost liquified.

IV. Conclusion:
Write a conclusion explaining the results of one of the reaction. You should focus on the
appearance of the final beaker. Your conclusion should also discuss the % of Oxygen between
2 of the compounds in the same reaction.
Overall, the reaction, Potassium Chloride, KCl, was soluble. The ionic charges of KCl
was K+Cl- . This became KCl because when the ionic charges crossed, they only had the ionic
charge of one. The reaction of Potassium Chloride was soluble based upon rule one. The rule
reads, “Salts containing Group 1 elements are soluble (Li+ , Na+ , K+ , Cs+, Rb+) . Exceptions to this
rule are rare. Salts containing the ammonium ion (NH4 + ) are also soluble.” The oxygens
percentages of Potassium Chloride are 52.7% Potassium and 47.3% Chloride. Moving on,
Potassium Nitrate, KNO3 , was soluble. The ionic charges of KNO3 was K+ NO3 - . This became
KNO3 because when the ionic charges crossed, they only had the ionic charge of one and the
three was left because there are three oxygen. The reaction of Potassium Nitrate was soluble
based upon rule one and two. The second rule explains, “Salts containing nitrate ion (NO3 -) are
generally soluble.” The oxygens percentages of Potassium Nitrate are 38.61% Potassium,
13.86% of Nitrogen, and 43.57% Oxygen. In conclusion, both of the two chemical reactions
explained, KCl (Potassium Chloride) and KNO3 , (Potassium Nitrate) are soluble.

Critical Thinking Questions:
1. What factors affect Gravitational Potential Energy?
The factors that affect Gravitational Potential Energy are the gravity on the planet, the mass of
the object, and the height the object if falling from.
2. Why did the GPE change on the other planets?
The GPE changed on the other planets because they have different gravity.
3. Which planet would you be able to hit a golf ball further? Explain using data.
You would be able to hit a golf ball further on planet Cheshire because there is the least amount
of gravity on the planet (3.6 meters per second.)
4. How does GPE relate to Chemical Potential Energy?
GPE relates to Chemical Potential Energy because they both are based off of the amount of
energy something can have but in different ways.
5. How do Energy companies use GPE to generate Electrical Energy? Give an example
Energy companies use GPE to generate Electrical Energy by converting the energy of water
falling or moving at a fast pace. This is converted in the generator to energy. An example can be
a waterfall.
6. What happens to the GPE when the object falls to the ground? Describe the Energy
transformations along the way. Use a diagram.
As an object falls, its height above ground gets smaller and smaller therefore, the potential
energy stored in gravity gets less and less, too. The object speeds up as it falls and energy is
leaving the gravitational field and entering the falling object as kinetic energy.

Data Analysis - W rite your data analysis paragraph here
According to the research gathered from our experiment, our hypothesis
of when the ramp is increased the instantaneous velocity will be faster, is
true. For example, when we were finding the GPE=KE, we found that for
angle 8’s instantaneous velocity we got 1.81 m/s. For the angle 18, we
found that the instantaneous velocity was 2.64 m/s2 . The last angle, 28,
the instantaneous velocity ended up being 3.32 m/s2. For all of the
angles, the instantaneous velocity was much larger than the average
velocity (using the formula V=D/T). In summation, the data from our
experiment proves that our hypothesis is accurate.

FINAL PART - Roller Coaster Physics
Objective:
1. When energy is transformed, the total amount of energy stays constant (is conserved).
2. Work is done to lift an object, giving it gravitational potential energy (weight x height). The
gravitational potential energy of an object moving down a hill is transformed into kinetic
energy as it moves, reaching maximum kinetic energy at the bottom of the hill.
Determine the velocity of a full roller coaster of riders at the bottom of the largest hill. You can
use the following roller coasters:

*Write about your results in a paragraph.
From the math, I discovered that the rollercoaster with the largest height of the largest hill had
the greatest velocity at the bottom of the hill. Cyclones height was 25.908 m while Kingda Ka’s
was a whopping 139 m tall. To show, the instantaneous velocity of Cyclone was 22.5 m/s2 , while
the instantaneous velocity of Kingda Ka was 52.2 m/s2 . Also the rollercoaster with the smaller
mass to riders ratio had a greater instantaneous velocity. For example, the mass of Cyclone
was 535 kg and the mass for Kingda Ka was 100 kg. In conclusion, the rollercoaster with the
greater height and smaller mass (Kingda Ka) had a greater instantaneous velocity.

Conclusion:
*Write your OWN CONCLUSION HERE!
In the end, the evidence shows that the bigger the angle is the more force needed to be
able to lift the object. Looking at the data table, the IMA increase from our first trial (which was
our smallest angle) to our final trial (which was the largest angle). As you can see, once we
increased the angle the input force rose, ours rose about 1-2 N each trial. For this experiment
AMA calculate the amount of friction so this means that the AMA is always going to be smaller
than the IMA. In this experiment, our efficiency increases from our first trial to our final trial which
means that we did the experiment correct. Looking at our first trial we had an efficiency of 29%,
than for our second trial we had a efficiency of 34%, and finally for our last trial we had an
efficiency of 49%. Overall from this experiment we can conclude that when you increase the
angle the greater the ideal mechanical advantage, the less the actual mechanical advantage
and the greater the efficiency.

Wi n= 834 ft(8575 N)
Win=7,151,550J
1. What is the length of the ramp to the top of the Empire State Building?
35 degrees = 0.57358
Hyp = Opp(0.57358)
Hyp = 1,454ft(0.57358)
Hyp = 834 feet
2. Suppose the Ideal Mechanical Advantage is 3.2
3. The Actual Mechanical Advantage (AMA) is 2.5.
4. What is the Efficiency of this Machine?
Worko ut = Dout* Fout
Worko ut = 1454 ft(3430 N)
Workout = 4,987,220 J
E = Worko ut/ Worki n
E = 4,987,220/7,151,550
E = .697*100
E = 69.7%
5. Provide a diagram of this example.
4. Explain how the Ideal Mechanical Advantage and Actual Mechanical Advantage is
determined for the following simple machines:
A. Inclined Plane
a. MA= Din/Dout
i. To find the IMA of an inclined plane, you must find the Distance input and the
Distance output first. Then, you do Distance input divided by the Distance output.
ii. AMA= Fo ut/ Fin
1. To find the AMA of an inclined plane, you must find the Force output and
Force input first. Next, you divide the Force output by the Force input.
B. Lever
a. IMA = length of ef f ort arm
length of the resistance arm
i. The effort end of the lever is the lever is the side of the lever that effort is applied
to, while the resistance arm is the side of the lever which holds the load.
b. AMA = resistance f orce
ef f ort f orce
i. First you must find the resistance force and then divide it by the effort force.
C. Pulleys
a. n order to find the IMA and AMA for a pulley you have to count the amount of ropes you
have required to lift the object.
D. Wheel and Axle
a. IMA= radius of the wheel
radius of the axle
i. To find the IMA of a wheel and axis, you must divide the radius of the wheel by
the radius of the axle.
b. AMA= Resistance f orce
Actual Ef f ort f orce
i. To find the AMA of a wheel and axis, you must do the resistance force divided by
the actual effort force.
