Boyle's Law: An Introduction To The Cartesian Diver

8. Pour 16 oz of room-temperature water into the bottle. 9. Stretch

Characteristic Property- Test 2- Density Materials: Triple Beam balance, distilled water, graduated cylinder, unknown 6 Procedure: first we found the mass of the empty graduated cylinder and then its mass with the now distilled unknown. After subtracting the mass of the graduated cylinder, we were able to find the volume. For every 1mL=1cm³ so there we had the volume found with the graduated cylinder. We divided the mass by the volume in order to get the density Data: We found that the density of our unknown was 0.76 g/cm3.

Our first method was to weigh the glass by putting it in a graduated cylinder of water and placing the glass inside and to observe the lever to with the water rose after first recording the original state of the water. The second test we preformed was to measure the glass and use it’s dimensions to determine the density. This procedure taught me how problem solve effectively and scientifically using information I previously learned in both chemistry and mathematics and applying it to this problem. This also gave me the ability to test the effectiveness of my experiment and decide which one was more proficient at producing an accurate test of the density of the glass. We continuously referred back to the original request of the experiment, making sure our goals aligned with the problem at hand, determining

In Robert Kurson’s book, “Shadow Divers,” he reveals how a group of divers solve one of the last mysteries of World War II. Captain Bill Nagle owns the Seeker which is a charter boat that people can rent to take them to shipwrecks. Nagle is a world renowned deep sea shipwreck diver, because he pushes the limits on how far and where divers can go. Nagle has explored some of the most dangerous shipwrecks such as the Andrea Doria and Texas Tower. He has also retrieved various souvenirs from wrecks such as china dishes and the boat’s bell, but Nagle has massive respect for the history of sunken watercraft.

As human beings we visit the Waikiki Aquarium and only see the place as a paradise home for the Hawaiian Monk Seals. We do not put ourselves into the perspective of the marine animal and see the aquarium through their eyes. My story, “Bumping Into Glass Walls” promotes the idea that we may think the Hawaiian Monk Seals enjoy the aquarium but that could be a false statement. We can come to a conclusion that the Hawaiian Monk Seals do not want to be at the aquarium but end up there because of threats in the Pacific Ocean.

Laurie Colwin (1944-1992) was born in Manhattan, New York. She was a prolific writer and her very first works were published in the New Yorker. Her first short story collection was published in 1974. Her stories were written about love, relationships, and being happy in general, however, this story “The Man Who Jumped into the Water” is quite a bit different from the others. Hiding behind a persona to get away from reality can lead someone to a breaking point because a person 's troubles catch up to them.

This theory states that the methane gas that is on the ocean floor is the cause of the disappearances of ships and planes in the Bermuda Triangle. “The bubbles from the methane gas can lower the water`s density enough to cause an object to sink.” (Wilkinson 5) “Bubbles from methane gas can be frozen on the

Earth- Diver- Creation of Myths This story go over about which animal is effective in getting a small amount of earth from under the sea. In this creation of myth, “a god or his agent dives to the bottom of this primordial deep and returns with a few grains of sand or a bit of mud from which the earth and the rest of the cosmos eventually arise” (Leonard & McClure p. 38). In an Iroquoian version of earth-diver, Turtle generously offered his back as a care to hold up the earth. Correspondingly, in Indian cultures, the earth island is considered the turtle 's back, which swims in the great sea of water, which symbolizes chaos and disorder.

This experiment demonstrated water density because the cold water moved beneath the hot water, because it is denser. 5. Was your hypothesis supported or refuted? Explain.

Anh Nguyen - PHIL 256 Final Descartes’s arguments for the existence of God and its fallacies Descartes (1596 – 1650) was a French philosopher, mathematician and scientist. At an early age, he received his education from the Jesuits and the experience with the Aristotelian ideals there upset him, yet the field of mathematics fascinated him with its precision, uniform certainty and necessity. This dissonance eventually planted a seed into his mind and drove him to question about the nature of knowledge, namely whether it can match mathematics’ indubitableness. Descartes’ attempts in resolving the problem resulted in his Meditations of First Philosophy (1641), which was written in response to queries regarding his new philosophical basis for a novel way to approach the system of knowledge. Upon its publication, Descartes’ Meditations provoked controversy among the Aristotelians – indeed it was an assault on the Aristotelian

Fill the well with 90ml dh20 to reach 100ml. move 10 ml of the second well to the third well. FIll the third with another 90ml dh20 to reach 100ml. Move 10 ml of the third well to the fourth well. Fill the fourth well with 90ml dh20 to reach 100ml.

The jump in “Prelude to Jumping in the River” by Katia Grubisic undergoes similar process as making important decisions in terms of the preparation and the aftereffects. Both the jump and making important decisions require lengthy preparation. In the poem, before the man jumps into the river, he “lays his light shirt, glasses, straw hat / and shoes” (1-2) on a piece of wood. This shows that he has spent some time organizing his clothing and “the mental preparation / takes some time” (4-5) after he has undressed. Similarly, before making important decisions, the decision-maker needs time to check every detail and weigh the benefits and drawbacks of each option in order to decide which one is better.

Second, the experimenters has to fill up a measuring cup until the water reaches 200 mL. Third, the experimenters will fold the paper towel in half three

Descartes declares he has to determine if there is a God and if he does exist, whether he can be a deceiver. The reason he has to determine the existence of God and what he is, rests in his theories of ideas. This is because we do not know if there is an outside world and we can almost imagine everything, so all depends on God’s existence and if he is a deceiver. “To prove that this non-deceiving God exists, Descartes finds in his mind a few principles he regards as necessary truths which are evident by the “natural light” which is the power or cognitive faculty for clear and distinct perception.” If arguments is presented in logical trains of thought, people could not help but to be swayed and to understand those arguments.

The tuning fork was struck on the rubber stopper and was held above the water column. The tube’s length was adjusted until the volume of the sound increased and measured the length of
