    This document provides instructions for Physics Laboratory Experiment #9. Students are asked to conduct 3 trials of an experiment measuring the change in temperature of a metal lead after being dropped from different heights. For each trial, students must calculate: (a) the change in temperature, (b) the work done, (c) the heat developed, (d) the experimental value of J converted to Joules/cal, and (e) the percentage error of J compared to the theoretical value of 4.18 Joules/cal. Calculations are to be shown clearly and final answers rounded to two decimal places using SI units.

    INSTRUCTIONS:
     SHOW YOUR SOLUTIONS COMPLETELY AND NEATLY. FINAL ANSWERS MUST BE ROUND
    OFF UP TO TWO DECIMAL PLACES ONLY.
     USE THE SI/BASIC UNITS FOR ALL SOLUTIONS!

    TRIAL 1 TRIAL 2 TRIAL 3


    # of Turns = 100
    𝑻𝒊 = 𝟐𝟑℃ 𝑻𝒊 = 𝟐𝟑℃ 𝑻𝒊 = 𝟐𝟑℃ 𝒎𝒍𝒆𝒂𝒅 = 𝟓𝟎𝟎 𝒈
    𝑻𝒇 = 𝟐𝟖℃ 𝑻𝒇 = 𝟐𝟔℃ 𝑻𝒇 = 𝟐𝟕℃ 𝑱
    Height of fall = 25 cm Height of fall = 55 cm Height of fall = 95 cm 𝒄𝒍𝒆𝒂𝒅 = 𝟏𝟐𝟖
    𝒌𝒈 ∙ 𝑲

    Theoretical value of 𝑱 = 𝟒. 𝟏𝟖 𝑱𝒐𝒖𝒍𝒆𝒔/𝒄𝒂𝒍

    Solve for the following values (for every trial):

    a. ∆𝑇 (Note: for change in temperature, ∆𝑇 = 1℃ = 1𝐾)


    b. Work done (refer to COMPUTATIONS #1 – page 3)
    c. Heat developed (refer to COMPUTATIONS #2 – page 3)
    d. Experimental value of 𝐽 (refer to COMPUTATIONS #3 – page 3)
    e. Percentage error of J.

    Additional instruction:
     For letter (d), please convert the unit of heat from J to cal (1 𝑐𝑎𝑙 = 4.186 𝐽) so that the
    unit for the experimental value of J will be in terms of Joules/cal which is also the same
    as the unit for the theoretical value of J.
