Newton’s Third Law
Purpose: The purpose of this lab is to calibrate two force sensors properly. Observe the directional relationship between force pairs. Observe the time variation of force pairs. We need to explain Newton’s third law in simple language.
Materials:
LabPro Interface
Two Vernier force sensors
.5kg mass
String
Rubber band
DataMate Program
Preliminary:
1. The force of the window on the bug because the bug is just flying, but the force of the window at a given speed is much greater creating the force to splatter the bug.
2. Yes, my right hand does experience a force. When I pull with my left hand I do add force with my

4. No they both have the same number but one positive and the other negative as it shows in the graph. They were mirror images of each other.
5. What’s really meant is that the forces are the same but going in different directions as a mirror image of one another. So when one force is going for example 2 newtons in a positive direction, the same amount is going in the opposite direction.
6. After knowing A=B maybe the force is equal from the bug and the windshield. That’s the case with Newton’s third law
Extensions:
1. There is a force being put on the bench, but no it does not pull back. Yes, if a person was holding another sensor then there would be a force from that person holding the sensor so it won’t move. That’s why we use our lab bench.
2. No, the forces went in equal and opposite directions just as the rubber band and string
Conclusion/Discussion: This lab was pretty cool because we got to do numerous tests and see different but similar results. I learned how Newton’s Third Law works and it’s very cool. Newton’s third law happens in everyday life. For example, fighting over the remote control with your brother, you both add an equal and opposite reaction of force. Overall this lab was fun and a learning lesson. I had a great time with this fun
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.
The two force sensors (CI-6746) that are mounted on the toy trucks are connected to the Data Studio Interface. Truck 1 is connected to Channel A and Truck 2 is connected to Truck2. Before taking the readings, the TARE button located on top of the sensors was pressed in order to zero the readings. To confirm the proper working of the sensors the trucks are pushed but not made to collide and a straight-line graph is observed. The sample rate set for the experiment is 200 Hz, which is not as slow as 10 Hz or not very fast as 1000 Hz. This enables us to acquire accurate results during the course of the experiment.
We have already stated in our aim that we are trying to find an unknown mass by using two known masses. For our force table to stay constant, it has to be at equilibrium. Equilibrium is à statement where opposing forces are balanced, which means that
The ramp exerts an equal upward force on the car. Newton’s third law states that “ For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. The statement means that in every interaction, there is a pair of forces acting on the two interacting objects. The size of the forces on the first object equals the size of the force on the second object.” (Newton’s Third Law) Finally, Newton’s laws of motions explains the reason why my car was able to go down the ramp. Newton’s first law of motion states that an object will remain at rest or in uniform motion in a straight line unless acted upon by an external force. This law explains that until the car isn’t acted upon by a force, it wouldn’t move. In our situation, we would count down and then let go of the car. The car would still be able to move without any force acted upon it. In this case, Mr.Brown was the external force because he was the one who pushed the car down the ramp. Even though so much force was acted upon my car, the egg didn’t crack. In conclusion, Newton’s laws of motion, weight of the car, and reaction force, my car was a success in the car crash test, and the egg didn’t
Forces will always come in action-reaction pairs. “Action-reaction pair forces will always act on different objects” (Slideshow). Newton’s Third Law is very
All three of Newton’s laws were seen in the Balloon Race. The way the balloon stays in motion is the first law. The heavier the harness affecting the acceleration of the balloon is his second law. How far the air from the balloon exerting a force pushes the balloon forward is Newton’s third law. The balloon remained in motion with the same velocity while it was attached to the line, it didn’t stop and started up again it would keep going in a straight line. Newton’s second law proving that “the acceleration of an object increases with increased force, and decreases with increased mass.’’ This was clearly shown when our harness had a large amount of mass, and it wouldn’t go far. As the balloon exerts air on one side, it pushed the balloon
In this experiment we learned Newton's Law. Newton's first law stated an object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion keeps moving with a constant velocity until/unless a net external force. Newton's second law stated a equation F ⃗=ma ⃗ and the third law stated for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. We have also learned steps such as, draw free body diagram with labels, write Newton's equations and solve the equation in order to find the result. The purpose of this experiment is to study the relationship between force and acceleration using a linear track and the Atwood's machine. Hypothesis in this experiment is to see if this equation F ⃗=ma ⃗ is correct because when deriving the equation to find
Abstract: A force table that had three weight hangers, numerous masses and pulleys attached to it, which were used to reach static equilibrium. Third angles for each of the systems were: System 1:349.8, 350.3, 350.1; system 2: 8.3, 9.1 8.8; system 3: 9.8, 10.5, 10.2; system 4: 58.3. 57.5, 58.8; system 5: 48.7, 49.1, 48.1.
The demonstrated in this experiment is when there is lightweight applied to a cart and there is more weight applied to the pulley then a cart will move faster because the net force is pulling down. When there is more weight applied to a cart, and less weight applied to the pulley, a cart will still move, but not fast like part A. There is a relationship between force, mass and acceleration and those three are the demonstrated of this experiment.
Newtons Second Law states that if the net force on an object is not zero, there is acceleration present in the direction of the net force. (DiGiuseppe, 2012).
The objective of this lab was to determine how the acceleration of a system is related to the force applied. In order to complete this experiment we had to establish our hypothesis, independent and dependent variables and the control variables. We conducted two trials with the same masses for both trials, and changed the masses from 10 g all the way to 40 g in intervals of 5. We made sure to keep the overall weight of the system constant, since it was a control variable. We had to account for the friction of the system and developed a graph and error bars. At the end of this experiment we determined that our prediction was correct: the more force applied, the faster the acceleration.
We were asked to look up the frequency of the different colored diodes and the results are presented in a graph.
The objectives achieved in the experiment were attributed to determining how a hanging mass on an object can determine the speed and also the acceleration. The experiment consisted of a pulley system that was created using an air track and glider. The system also
