Physics Lab Report

In this series of experiments, we examined the back and forth motion. We analyzed the motion of five objects which included a mass attached at the end of a spring, a swinging pendulum, a ball thrown up in the air, a jumping student, and a cart rolling up and down an incline. Using the motion detector and a computer we were able to come up with graphs of position VS time and Velocity VS time from which it was possible to tell where the velocity or the acceleration were maximum, and whether they were changing or not. Besides that, the graphs also helped to notice objects that exhibited a similar type of motion.

The object furthest to the right is the motion detector that will measure the object's position and time and send it to the LabQuest. The object to the far left is the stopper that will stop the cart after it has completed its run. The materials we needed to complete this lab was a motion detector, a cart, ruler, cart track, and LabQuest. The motion detector measured the time as soon as the cart was set in motion and delivered the data to the LabQuest. The cart was used to measure the velocity for each run. The cart track was the medium we used to push the cart down and collect

5. Record the effort force shown on the Newton Scale in newtons while pulling the cart up the inclined plane.

If the resultant net force acting on the cart increases and total mass remains constant, than the acceleration will increase proportionally because Newton’s second law of motion states that acceleration is equal to the net force over the mass of the system; this demonstrates a directly proportional relationship between acceleration and net force because when acceleration increases, so does net force (Newton’s second law).

12. Forces of 3 N and 4 N act at right angles on a block of mass 5 kg.show that the resulting acceleration is 1 m/?

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 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.

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

SOLUTION: Let is draw free-body diagrams for the point of suspension above Object A and free-body diagram for object B (a) Since the system is in equilibrium, then a = 0 in all newton’s second law equations. For the point just above object A x − direction : ⇒ 0 = TR cos (35◦ ) − TL cos (35◦ ) TR = TL ≡ T

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.

The objective of this practical is to determine acceleration due to gravity ‘g’ using the simple pendulum model. This is shown when a period of oscillation is seen to be independent of the mass of the mass ‘m’.

The forces that are involve with the experiments are basically focused on the concurrent forces. The experiment also allows us to develop the condition of balancing or arranging the angles both sides on a force table. This laboratory experiment allows us to take the mathematical abstraction of a vector to make it tangible as possible. This experiment will look into two ways of

The beam was loaded the mid-length in 2.745 lbs. increments up to 6.745 lbs. The change in clearance of every load step was measured and data was recorded.

3) In this experiment, only the forces on the plane surface were considered. Do the hydrostatic forces on the curved surface of the quarter-circle block affect the measurement? State why or why
