Sakhi Thakkar September 24, 2023 PHY 133 TA: Fabiola Caeteleyva Force and Acceleration
Introduction: In this lab, we are going to study the relationship between force and acceleration. We will be using Newton’s Laws, mainly Newton’s Second Law, to find the mass of the IonLab device. Focusing on Newton’s Second Law, it states that acceleration will only occur when an applied force is acted on such object. Disregarding friction, when no force is applied to the object, acceleration will discontinue. However, it will continue to move at a constant velocity according to Newton’s First Law. Referring back to our intention, we would use the slope found from the Force vs Acceleration plots to find the mass of the device. Since the mass is unknown, this slope can be compared to the actual value. Methods/Procedures Equation(s) used -Fnet=ma -Fg=mg Preliminary Procedure Part I 1. Screw the plate attachment onto the force sensor 2. Place the device down on a flat surface with a vertical orientation and wheels up 3. Press record and only move in the y direction 4. After a few small pushes, stop, then hit the stop button With performing several tests with the IOLab, we can test these relations of force and acceleration. From here, tables and graphs were created using the raw data that was obtained from the IOLab device. The results we will be expecting out of the Force and Acceleration lab is that when the force increases on an object, acceleration increases as well. -Formula for uncertainty -Formula for percentage difference
Preliminary Procedure Part II 1. Replace the plate, then fasten the screw 2. Position the device on its head with the y direction pointing down 3. Press record. Let the device sit on the table for one second then steadily lift the device by the screw 4. Place it back down and stop recording 1. After, find the average force and acceleration. This will give you the force and the acceleration due to gravity 2. Use gravitational force equation to find the mass Part I Procedure 1. Attach the plate to the force probe 2. With the y direction pointing upwards, give the device five pushes forward, each time increasing in strength. 3. Record values in a chart 4. Use Excel to plot the Acceleration vs. Force 5. Add linear trend line 6. Find the mass with the equation for a line and the slope of the plot 7. Compare it known value of the mass Part II Procedure 1. Attach the screw to the force probe. The long spring should be connected to the devices’ screw and the other end to a textbook by a binder clip that’s leaning against the edge of the desk. Device should be hanging in the air 2. Pull the device slightly and record for 20 seconds, focusing on the y-axis more 3. Make a parametric plot and find slope (mass) 4. Compare the mass to the two masses found in Part I and II
Results As demonstrated in graph one, when a force is applied on a object, there is acceleration directly correlated with it. When the force peaks, so does acceleration. Hence, force and acceleration are connected with other. Data to find average force Date to find average acceleration A . 1B 2B B 1A
