Problem: For the coffee filter paper, how does the mass, by adding items such as paper clip, affect the time for the coffee filter to fall from an initial height?
Hypothesis:
If the mass is increased then the time for the filter paper to fall will decrease because there is more force occurring on the object due to the increase in mass.
Manipulated Variable: Mass of Filter Paper
The mass of the filter paper will be changed by adding four paper clips after every five trials till it reaches a total of 16 paper clips. The mass will then be measured by an electronic scale to the nearest 0.1g.
Responding Variable: Time
The time of the filter paper to fall will be measured by a stopwatch. The filter paper will be dropped at an initial height of 2.54 m where time will start recording when the filter paper is dropped and stopped when it makes contact with the ground. The time will be recorded to the nearest .01s.
Controlled Variables:
Throughout this lab there will be variables in which cannot be changed or the data will be inaccurate. First off, you must have the same size PureBrew coffee filter paper with a diameter of 8cm on the bottom. By having the same size PureBrew coffee filter paper, it will have the same mass as the one investigated in this lab since there are many sizes for filter paper. You should also make sure you have the same size, material, and brand of paper clips. In this investigation large, silver metal, and Wal-Mart branded paper clips were used. If you have different size and materials as your paper c...

To develop this investigation in order to get more accurate data and prevent errors here are some ways to improve this lab. For the first weakness, in which the filter paper would loose its shape, instead of using large paper clips with a great mass, one could use smaller paper clips with very little mass in order to keep the shape of the filter paper throughout the lab and make the data more accurate. If that does not work, one could layer the filter paper making the paper stronger and more difficult for paper clips to change the shape of the filter paper. For the second weakness, in which the observer could not stop the time right when the filter paper touches the ground, one could use photo gates and determine the time, in seconds, it takes from one photo gate to another using the logger pro software and taking that data making it more accurate and precise.

The mixture was poured through a weight filter paper and Sucrose washed with a 5ml of dichloromethane. The resulting solid was left in a breaker to dry for one week, to be measured. Left it in the drawer to dry out for a week and weighted it to find the sucrose amount recovered amount.
One of the best methods for determining mass in chemistry is gravimetric analysis (Lab Handout). It is essentially using the the mass of the product to figure out the original mass that we are looking for. Thus the purpose of our experiment was to compare the final mass in our reaction to the initial mass and determine the change in mass.
The only noticeable difference was that it nearly traveled to the top of the filter strip with very little signs of pigment separation.
Moisture is heavy, and thus it can change the results of the experiment, as we only want the weight of magnesium and the magnesium oxide.
... while weighing the reactants would try and avoid letting the reagents get in contact with apparatus that may not be necessary so as to avoid loss of some the substance and this way the exact mass would be achieved.

Height of sand, compression Flatten or compress the sand back to how it was, as accurately as possible, by using a flat surface. Research Question How does the height of the drop affect the depth of the sand? Hypothesis As the height of the drop for the ball increases, the measured depth of the sand will increase. This is because the ball will have more time to accelerate at 9.8ms-¹, and therefore have more momentum, creating a larger impact on the sand each time the height of the drop is raised.
In this inquiry the relationship between force and mass was studied. This inquiry presents a question: when mass is increased is the force required to move it at a constant velocity increased, and how large will the increase be? It is obvious that more massive objects takes more force to move but the increase will be either linear or exponential. To hypothesize this point drawing from empirical data is necessary. When pulling an object on the ground it is discovered that to drag a four-kilogram object is not four times harder than dragging a two-kilogram object. I hypothesize that increasing the mass will increase the force needed to move the mass at a constant rate, these increases will have a liner relationship.
3 cm of magnesium ribbon generally has a mass of 0.04 g and yields 40 cm3 of hydrogen when reacted with excess acid. 50 cm3 of 1M hydrochloric in this experiment is in excess.

The basic process of making paper has not changed in more than 2000 years. It involves two stages: the breaking up of raw materials in water to make a suspension of individual fibbers and the formation of felted sheets by spreading this suspension on a porous surface, to drain excess water. The essential steps of papermaking by machine are identical with those of hand papermaking just much more complex. The first step in machine papermaking is the preparation of the raw material. For centuries, the main raw materials used in papermaking were cotton and linen fibbers obtained from rags. Today more than 95 percent of paper is made from wood cellulose. Wood is used mainly for the cheapest grades of paper, such as newsprint. Cotton and linen fibbers are still used for high quality writing and artist’s papers. Many kinds of wood can be used such as aspen, beach, birch fir, gum, hemlock, oak, pine, and spruce.
