Title: Forces Table Introduction: The purpose of this week’s lab‚ titled “Forces Table”‚ was to look at vectors in two dimensions. The lab was also used to help up understand how to sum up forces and the decomposition. In our experiment‚ we had to estimate a third force that would balance out our other two. This would then make the sum of the forces zero. To calculate our forces we used Newton’s Second Law below: (1) In the above equation‚ the ƩF represents the sum of all of the forces in Newton’s

Lab 1- Measurements of a Table ABSTRACT: The purpose of this experiment was to determine the value of the acceleration of a free falling object and to describe the range of experimental values. Within the experiment the items used to help provide the conclusion that 2/3 or our values fell within the 9.62m/s^2- 9.78m/s^2 range was a Vernier data-collection interface‚ Logger Pro Application and the apparatus Photogate. The results found within the 30 trial periods were all precise

because their velocities will the larger and will need a larger force to go downwards. Air resistance of an object is affected by its mass‚ the total surface area that is exposed by the air resistance‚ and how fast an object is falling. When an object is falling‚ the force diagram will be represented by the force of air of an object pointing upwards and the force of gravity pointing downwards. But the value of the force of air and the force of gravity will not be the same in the beginning of the fall

Purpose To be able to understand and verify the relationship centripetal force‚ mass‚ velocity‚ and the radius of orbit for a body that is undergoing centripetal acceleration. Background Information An object moving in the same direction is not necessarily undergoing acceleration. If the object changes speed while moving in the same direction there is acceleration (or deceleration). On the other hand‚ if the object moves at a constant speed in the same direction‚ there is no acceleration

Abstract This purpose of this experiment was to observe the relationship between centripetal acceleration‚ centripetal force‚ and a mass M. In this experiment we used a circular motion apparatus that had a plumb bob attached to a metal shaft (that connected the plumb bob to the vertical shaft) and spring. We found the centripetal force from the spring when it was in circular motion. We hung masses off a pulley system that was attached to the plumb bob until the plumb bob was perpendicular to the

experimented for the equilibrant force‚ conditions and center of gravity. Our results showed consideration as to disregarding other forces than weight and tension. 1. Introduction Equilibrium is a state of balance in which it is a condition where there is no change in the state of motion of a body. Equilibrium may be observed on objects which are at rest and also to objects which are moving at a constant velocity. Two conditions for equilibrium are that the net force acting on the object is zero

Purpose. The purpose of this lab was to understand equilibrium. To do this‚ you must find the equilibrant of the resultant of three vectors‚ both mathematically and graphically and test the results. Procedure: A) Put the weights necessary for each of the vector forces on each hook. B) Set the wheels of the force table at the proper angles‚ including the calculated equilibrant. C) When placing the hooks on the wheels‚ be careful to hold the table in place so it does not flip over. D) To test

Premium Force Kinematics Experiment
Abstract: The previous lab explored the effect of gravity on free fall. It was determined that acceleration is always constant under free fall. However‚ in this lab‚ acceleration was observed under different forces‚ other than just gravity. Therefore‚ depending on how strong the forces being exerted were‚ acceleration differed. It wasn’t constant anymore. Using a glider on a air track and a pulley‚ different masses were attached at the end of the string and the glider was allowed to move on the
