Lab Report On Newton 's Second Law

Students in an AP Physics lab perform an electrostatics experiment involving two charged spheres suspended

Newton 's three laws of motion play a huge role in our everyday life; from driving down the road and catching a baseball. Newton’s laws help us fully understand gravity, motion, and force in three easy-to-understand laws.

C. An unknown, rectangular substance measures 3.6 cm high, 4.21 cm long, and 1.17 cm wide.

In the first experiment, “ How does mass affect your game?” it shows that the data on “Ball- Mass 3” that the 10 pound bowling ball had the highest kinetic energy of 27(J), the greatest velocity (m/s) of 3.42, and in average it produced 4 bowling points. According to the data, on “ Ball- Mass 1” the 11 pound ball got an average velocity (m/s) of 3.14, the kinetic energy of 24 (J), and the average bowling points of 3. On the other hand, the evidence shows that the 12 pound bowling ball in “ Ball- Mass 2” has the velocity (m/s) of 3.12, the kinetic energy of 23 (J), and the average bowling points of 4 . Concluding that in my Game 1 the velocity of the masses of the bowling balls decreased when the bowling balls were heavier and that the kinetic energy was lower as the mass increased in the bowling balls.

To test Newton’s seconds law if whether changing the mass or the force affects the acceleration of an object or a trolley in this case to increase or decrease.

recorded how far the items travelled. This showed me how Newtons Three Laws of Motion

In this lab, we were applying Newton’s laws of force on a moving object. In this

In this Car Crash Project, we had to make sure we used Newton’s 3 laws. Let me explain you how I used the 3 laws in my project. For my project, I had three main important parts in my car. One of them was the crumple zone because the car is in motion until it hits the yellow which is the outside force. In Newton’s First Law he states that every object stays in motion unless acted upon an outside force. Here the object in motion is the car, and the outside force is the yellow stump. Another main component was the seat belt. The seat belt fell in Newton’s Second Law. In that law, it explains how force equals mass x acceleration. So, When the egg is wearing the seatbelt it will stop the egg from accelerating or being in motion. If it was accelerating

The more weights added to the car the faster the car goes. Our mass hypothesis, if the weight of the hot wheel decreases then the speed of the hot wheel increases. Our hypothesis is incorrect, we said the more weights you add the speed of the hot wheel will decrease, the data my group collected tells us the opposite the more weights you add the speed of the hot wheel will increase. Our hypothesis on road surface was, if the roughness of the road increases then the speed of the car decreases. This hypothesis was also incorrect, our data tells us that changing the road surface increased speed instead of decreasing it. Changing road surface and weight increased the speed of the hot wheel car. Our data we collected could have been affected by not placing the car at the same spot every time or not stopping the stopwatch fast enough. Our procedures did change during testing, we were going to stop the stopwatch once the back wheels were at the end of the track, we changed that because we wanted accurate times so we extended the stopping length 40 cm. In conclusion, if I were to do this experiment again, I would make sure I stop the stopwatch on

In this experiment,we applied Newton`s first law of motion. It descripes the external force as the sum of all external force applied to the object, which equals zero in equilirbium. As we have seen in the experiment, to reach equilibrium all the forces applied on an object shoud cancel each other out and total force reaches zero.Using different forces and weights we were able to reach equilibruim ineach trial of this

2. Force is equal to mass times acceleration, and a change in motion is proportional to the force applied.

Another error in our experiment was we assumed the average acceleration was the only acceleration when this is not the case. The acceleration was changing as the object traveled down the air track. Another inconsistency was that perhaps the air resistance on the cardboard “sail” we created was not consistent. We could reduce the errors by doing this experiment with the varying masses in a controlled environment where air resistance and acceleration are constant. If we set up a photogate instead of just assuming the length of the track was the length the object traveled, then we could have known the real distance it traveled.

n this report the students learn and understand the concepts of why they are doing this. For example the pasta car lab, they understood and learning how newton's laws works such as the Newton's first law of motion, newton's second law of motion and, newton's third law of motion. Therefore they knew that Newton's first law is talking about inertia, then again some call it the law of inertia, it is when an object in rest stays at rest and also an object in motion stays in motion. For example, if the students have a vehicle on a hill and they let go of the brake it will roll and it will build up momentum until it's is not on the hill anymore and rolls until it runs out of energy until all that energy runs out that was built going down the hill.

The objective of this experiment was to trial and prove Newton’s Third Law. Newton’s Third Law states for every action there is a reaction equal in magnitude and opposite in direction. In this experiment, by analyzing the difference of magnitudes of forces detected by the force sensors. This experiment consists three parts, each with different situations. Using the graphs, the forces were analyzed and used to determine whether the Newton’s Third law is valid.

Purpose: The purpose of the practical is to find how mass affects acceleration and how it affects also the force of the accelerating body. To do this we are going to do the ticker tape experiment where an accelerating body pulls a tape through a consistent 50 dot per second ticker timer. The acceleration body in this experiment will be a small trolley pulled by a string that is pulled by the downfall of different masses which will then tell how mass affects acceleration.
