Physics 1107 Lab Report
Lab 6 Gravity, Static & Kinetic Friction
Alex Rickheim
10/26/2023
Summary
I followed the procedure for Lab 6 and succeeded in taking data showing the difference in the amount of
force used to move a wooden block. I measured the force of a wooden block being pulled across 3
different surfaces to record the amount of force that was needed to move it. I found that the wooden block
moved best on the glass and moved the worst on the waxed paper. Using different materials to drag the
wooden block across would have different outcomes.
Introduction
Gravity is a universal force of attraction between objects with mass, while static friction and
kinetic friction are contact forces that resist relative motion between objects at rest and in
motion, respectively. Understanding these concepts is essential for describing and predicting the
motion of objects in various situations, such as sliding, rolling, and falling.
Procedure
This lab is all about measuring how surfaces change the force of friction on objects sliding over each
other. To test this a wooden block is pulled with a spring scale over a level surface and pulled up an
upward slant. The wooden block is also pulled over different surfaces to see how it affects the results,
including; glass, waxed paper, and a table. This experiment is done to measure the static and kinetic
friction of each surface.
Quantitative Experimentation
I did not perform this experiment myself but I watched the video of the lab being performed and was able
to get information off of it. The experiment can be altered in lots of different ways, for example if I were
to perform this experiment I would add some more surfaces to pull the wood across like a rug/carpet,
grass, ice etc. To see how those surfaces would have an effect on the amount of friction is needed to pull
the wooden block. I would predict that the carpet and grass would take more force when pulling the
wooden block, as for a surface like ice, very little force would need to be applied to the wooden block to
see it move.
Prediction and Method Question
Data-Talking
I did not perform this experiment myself so I used the provided data below to write this lab report.
However the data would have been collected by using a Newton meter, which is a device that measures
the force it takes to move an object.

QUESTION 5
Problem
A new type of force was discovered by physicists with the following expression:
a
Fnew
+ Bex + 3x4
where alpha & beta are constants, and x is the position. The expression above was obtained from the interaction of a massless Higgs Boson (a type of
particle) and a black hole.
Quantum physicists then decides to design and build a machine that is able to move the Higgs Boson from x2 to x1. How much work should the machine do
to achieve this feat? (For simplicity, consider that no energy is lost in the process)
Solution
determine the work done we apply the following
W =
dx
Evaluating the above, we get
W =
e
+
for the limits from x¡ to xf
substituting x1 and x2 as the limits, the work done is expressed as
W =
| + B
