Slide 1 Force and Acceleration Objectives Explore the relationship between force and acceleration. Use Newton's Second Law to experimentally find the mass of the device. Physics Overview Isaac Newton is quite well known for his work in both calculus and physics. He is perhaps most well known for his three laws of motion that describe patterns seen in how objects move. These three laws are as follows: 1. An object in motion will stay in motion and an object at rest will stay at rest if no external forces are exerted on the object. 2. If a force is exerted on an object, then that object will experience an acceleration throughout the duration of that force, or 3. For a system of interacting objects, the force that object 1 exerts on object 2 is equal and opposite to that of object 2 on object 1. This lab deals specifically with Newton's Second Law. According to Newton's Second Law, there should only be an acceleration when there is an applied force. Under ideal circumstances (no friction), when the force no longer acts on the object, it does not continue to accelerate. Instead it would continue to move at a constant velocity according to Newton's First law. By using the Force probe and Accelerometer, it is possible to plot Force vs. Acceleration and use the slope to find the mass in accordance with Newton's Second Law. Due to the fact that the mass of the device is unknown, this slope can be compared to the actual value. Therefore, by analyzing the motion of the device when under the influence of a force, it is possible to demonstrate the validity of Newton’s Second Law.

Press record and give the device a few shoves such as in the video below. The wheels should be facing up. Do your best to keep your pushes in the direction so the device does not start to spin. You can uncheck the and the boxes if you wish. We will only be looking at since the force was directed in the direction. 00 Pushes on device
You should see peaks on both the Force vs. Time and Acceleration vs. Time plots. These peaks correspond to when you pushed on the force plate. What do you notice about the positions of the peaks on the Force vs. Time plot in relation to the position of the peaks on the Acceleration vs. Time plots? Be sure to include a screenshot of your data in your lab report with the "zoom" selected to make all the data for both force and acceleration easy to read. Make a qualitative statement about whether forces and accelerations occur at the same or different times and whether they grow smaller or larger in a correlated manner. Base your discussion on YOUR graph.
