Day 1

My first day in the physics department in UL was the
beginning of my second week in the university. Monday involved a tour of the building with John and after a cup of tea at 11 I went down to a lab with Eamonn where we did this experiment , measuring the speed at which a ball falls from varying heights(from 100mm to 1000mm) and then repeating with a ball of different mass and volume.


The results of the Free Fall were as follows :



















I also sat in one of Joe Meehan''s 1st year lectures , which was on the coefficient of friction. It was quite interesting , everyone participated in doing the experiment. I photographed the Free Fall experiment and after that I started on this blog.
