LAB: NEWTON'S FIRST AND SECOND LAWS Date 03/15/2024 Student’s Name Morgan Keefover Introduction Discussion Questions 1. Write Newton's First Law. An object at rest will stay at rest and an object in motion will stay in motion at a constant speed unless a force acts upon the object. 2. Write Newton's Second Law. A net force produces the acceleration of an object and that is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force and inversely proportional to the mass of the object. 1
3. The following boxes are initially at rest when the forces shown are applied. Show the magnitude and direction of the Force needed to keep the box at rest. a. 20N b. 7N 4. What happens to the acceleration if you maintain a constant net force (Fnet = 0) on an object? What happens to the velocity? If the net force of an object is zero, then its acceleration is zero and the velocity remains constant. 5. If an object is not accelerating, what can you determine about the net force on the object? If an object is not accelerating, the net forces on the object must be equal to zero. Experiment Part 1: Forces and Motion Open up the PhET simulation "Forces and Motion Basics." at https://phet.colorado.edu/sims/html/forces-and-motion-basics/latest/forces-and-motion- basics_en.html and open the Net Force simulator. Place people who are in different tasks, as indicated in Table 1. Predict the movement of the cart. Click on the sum of forces, values, and the speed box at the top right-hand corner of the simulation. Record the sum of the forces on the table 1. 2
Table 1: Predicted and simulated tasks and the sum of the action of the Force in a system. Tasks Predicted Movement Actual Movement (none, left, right) Sum of Forces ( magnitude and direction) Same size same placement on the rope. No movement None Sum=0 Direction=none Same size different placement on the rope. No movement None Sum=0 Direction=none Different sizes, same placement on the rope. To the left To the left Sum=50N Direction=left Different sizes, different placement on the rope. To the right To the right Sum=50N Direction=right Place two small people on the left and one small person on the right, let the simulator run, and add a small person to the right before it hits the barrier.
