What is expected of this experiment? 2) What would the output of this experiment be? 3) In your own words, restate the theory of this experiment.
Stellar evolution
We may see thousands of stars in the dark sky. Our universe consists of billions of stars. Stars may appear tiny to us but they are huge balls of gasses. Sun is a star of average size. Some stars are even a thousand times larger than the sun. The stars do not exist forever they have a certain lifetime. The life span of the sun is about 10 billion years. The star undergoes various changes during its lifetime, this process is called stellar evolution. The structure of the sun-like star is shown below.
Red Shift
It is an astronomical phenomenon. In this phenomenon, increase in wavelength with corresponding decrease in photon energy and frequency of radiation of light. It is the displacement of spectrum of any kind of astronomical object to the longer wavelengths (red) side.
![Objective:
The purpose of this experiment is to study Newton's 2nd Law of Motion, which is the
fundamental relation between the net force Fnet applied to an object of mass m and the
resulting acceleration a:
NEWTON'S SECOND LAW
PART I. CONSTANT MASS, VARIABLE FORCE
PART II. CONSTANT FORCE, VARIABLE MASS
Apparatus:
net
Theory:
= ma
You will study this relation for two separate cases:
(1) the total mass of a system is constant but the net force acting on the system is varied
(II) the net force is constant but the total mass is varied
Air track, "smart pulley" computerized data acquisition system (laboratory laptop,
Capstone software, PASCO 850 Interface), riders, string, five 20 gram masses, one 100
gram mass, mass hanger, catch box
In this experiment, a of mass M is placed on the air track. A string tied to the rider
passes parallel to the track and over a small pulley (assumed to be frictionless) to a
hanging mass m, as
shown:
