Lab: Proving The Principles Of Force
Proving the Principles of Force
I. Purpose:
The purpose of this lab is best understood by the statement of that the net force is described as having a direct proportional relationship to acceleration while having an inverse relation to mass, this lab is performed to study the roles of these two variables in the real world and see firsthand how they play a role in net force as well as to test the following hypothesis.
II. Hypothesis:
If an Atwood machine is used to calculate acceleration on a pulley based on differing masses then a trend would show that as mass increases the force decreases. Thus, the more mass the less force that is being acted upon.
III. Procedures:
1. Calibrate all tools used, and use a spring scale to document the force
