Lab 4 Report Section 04: Constant Acceleration Pivot Interactivities Giselle Paz 6/14/21 PHYS 1403
INTRODUCTION In this lab, we discover and understand the principle of constant acceleration. To learn this topic, in this experimental video, we use a Modified Atwoods’s Machine. Typically, this tool is used so that we can uncover how mass and force influence acceleration. Overall, in this experiment, we explore the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration, review Newton’s laws of motion and the Free Body Diagram, and the correlation of position, acceleration, and velocity vs time using a graph. MATERIALS Modified Atwood’s Machine Ruler Timer String PROCEDURE 1. Begin by allowing the video to fully play to see the phenomena of the Modified Atwood’s machine in action. 2. This experiment is customizable meaning that you are able to select your masses. In this step, select a value for “ System Mass ”; this number is a set value ( this is constant- do not change this number ). On the bottom left of your screen, you will see a “ change ” button, select the button. I chose a System Mass of 700 + 0.1 g . 3. In this step, you will now be changing the values for the Hanging Mass (unlike the System Mass these values do vary ). Since the table asks us to collect 5 different measurements, we will be using all Hanging Mass values except 00 + 0.1 g . *Remember to record all the data you collect. This is what both masses look like:
4. Next, we will set up our timer and ruler (click on the tools icon and select the timer and ruler). For the first Hanging Mass value, I chose 80 + 0.1 g. After loading the mass, allow the video to play until the string is cut. Then, place the ruler right next to the track and reset the timer. 5. Now, can play the video. Record your time and centimeters; I recorded each Hanging Mass at 30cm. Repeat the same process for all Hanging Masses . 6. We will now be creating a second table/graph . Simply follow the same procedures; however, this time you will maintain a constant Hanging Mass and change the System Mass. DATA & DATA ANALYSIS First Table & Graph: Constant System Mass
