Just making sure that the proper forumla to calculate a tangent on a graph, (Position vs. Time) that shows an accelerated motion is rise/run. And also, I would like to make sure that if it asks you to start at the point 0.15s, that as long as you draw the line to cross a point without going...

Well I just measured the foil and I came out with 2.7 grams. Here is what I have so far: Lenth: 30cm Width: 21cm Mass: 2.7g Density: 2.7g/cm^3. Am I missing any vital information? Im sorry to ask for help with it comes to the forumla and such, but I'm really stuck on this one...

This was my first idea, but then he said there are many other ways so I was hoping to think of something to do that others would not.

This question comes from my Grade 11 Univ. Physics Teacher. Problem: To as many significant figures as you can justify, determine the thickness of the aluminium foil. 1. Purpose 2. Procedure 3. Calculations (Significant Figures) 4. Conclucion Now I know that the density of...

What is the difference between theory and experiment?

Thanks guys, for the indepth look at what I should do. I really appreciate it. If anyone has any information or suggestions please let me know. I look forward to hearing from everyone! :biggrin:

Do you know what the general name for the course would be called at the university? I see like, Physics & Astronomy, and things of that nature. But not straight "physics". Sorry for all the questions :rolleyes:

Haha, yes. I apologize. I was under the impression that Quantum Physics was the study of atoms and such. I've never been sure on the definition of it. I had one friend tell me that you basically create a theory, and try to proove it. If anyone would like to respond to help me out, it...
