High School Physics/Applied Physics Experiments

Si Units

Force = Newtons (N) Pressure = Pascals (Pa) Acceleration = meters per second per second (m/s²) Work = joules (j)

Force

Moving a block with your hand work done on the object

Acceleration

riding a bike down a hill, slipping and falling

Momentum

1. inelastic collision (billiards type)
2. elastic collision (both go together)

Energy

1. Kinetic energy (motion)
2. Potential energy (stored motion)
3. magnetic energy(attractive motion)

Electricity

-Materials: batteries, wires,

1. Current vs. Voltage: the pipe analogy
2. Ohms law: metal (conductors) vs. rubber (insulators)
3. Series circuits (part 1 of the circuits experiment)
4. Parallel circuits (part 2 of the circuits experiment)
5. Voltaic Cells - Making electrochemical batteries. (File: )
