    It was probably either not functioning right or had not been adjusted correctly. If another balance scale was used for the procedure maybe the data could have been more accurate. To continue, another mistake that could have lead to poor data was when pouring the unknown metals into the graduated cylinder to measure the volume, some metals had fell to the

    to find the lightest bag in the 3 weighing, but the mathematician thought it could be done in less, so I need to find out the least amount of weighing it takes to find the lightest bag. Also, the king used a pan balance for all of his weighing. I started by weighing 4 bags on each side of the scale to see which side was lighter. Then from those results I thought to weigh the 4 bags that were on the lighter side by 2 and 2. After this you would find one side weighing less than another. Then you would

    The Physics of Scales To the dismay of some and a necessity for others, scales can be found about everywhere in today’s society. It never fails; if you go to the doctor you will step on the scale. They are at the grocery store, in most bathrooms and even in some of our favorite stores. Were we might even pay a quarter to have a machine tell us our weight, out loud. We as a society are obsessed with our weight. You’re asked for your weight when renewing your driver’s license. Every time you get

    top of this was a rectangular wood block weighing 0.148-kg (1.45 N/ 9.80 m/s/s). A string was attached to the wood block and then a loop was made at the end of the string so a Newton scale could be attached to determine the force. The block was placed on the Veneer and drug for about 0.6 m at a constant speed to determine the force needed to pull the block at a constant speed. The force was read off of the Newton scale, this was difficult because the scale was in motion pulling the object. To increase

    find the concentration of sucrose in a potato cell. Also I can observe when a cell is totally plasmolyised. PLAN I plan to complete this experiment within an hour. Firstly, I will cut 15 potato chips, 3 each for 5 different solutions, each weighing 1.2grams, cut with a 4mm corer to approx (full word) 4cm. I will measure weight, as length is less accurate. The weight of the chip may vary as much as 0.02 g each way, which will make it a lot easier to do, but may provide me with less accurate

Slicing their way through the ocean currents, they judged us with their grayish eyes as they passed. They were testing us, as they got closer every time. The sharks would come in and out of our field of view, passing inches over our heads, as they glided through our bubbles. We could see their scales they were so close

    because the experiments weren’t as accurate as they could have been. My measurements of zinc carbonate weren’t as accurate as they needed to be, to ensure a fair test. This was because it is almost impossible to weigh exact measurements on electronic scales. Another problem was there could have been moisture inside of the test tube, which could have affected the results. Even with these problems I think the results will be quite similar to the theoretical yield. I choose to change the amount

    Out of all the species walking, flying, slithering or swimming, there aren't many who have been around as long, survived as well, or come in so many shapes and kinds as the shark. The earliest evidences of sharks are isolated spines, teeth and scales that appeared about 430 million years ago in the Silurian Period, known as the "Age of Fishes". Sharks have a sleek, streamlined design which helps them swim without using up a lot of energy.They certainly need to conserve their energy because they never
