PROCESSING THE DATA (PART A) 1. Describe the difference between the two lines on your graph made in Step 6. Explain why the lines are different. Referring to graph on the right the difference between the two lines is that one line is at a faster speed than the other in the same amount of time. While one is steeper the other one is not as steep. 2. How would the graph change if you walked toward the Motion Detector rather than away from it? Test your answer using the Motion Detector. Since

net force‚ mass and acceleration Hypothesis: Since Newton’s second law of motion states that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the total force acting upon that object‚ we can assume that the more mass being pulled down on the cart the greater the acceleration of it will be and therefore the greater its net force will be.

proportionality of acceleration and net force if the mass of the body is constant and to verify the inverse proportionality of acceleration and mass if the net force is constant. It is now clearly explained and proven that Newton’s second law of motion is true. By experiments‚ the law is proved. All data produced results parallel to what Newton states. We can say that the acceleration is directly proportional to the net force if the mass of the body is constant. The acceleration increases as the

Sierman Lab Report: Experiment #7 Group #4 October 16th‚ 2012 Forces on a Pulley System A. Statement of the Problem The purpose of this lab was to address the following questions: how does the acceleration of a pulley system depend on the mass of the driving objects? And how does the acceleration of a pulley system depend on the mass of the driven object? To achieve this‚ a dynamic track was set up with a string attached to a cart. The string was part of a pulley system (the pulley was at the

Relationship Involving Acceleration‚ Net Force‚ and Mass Giho Park Purpose The purpose of this lab investigation is to observe the relationship among the net force‚ mass‚ and acceleration of an object. Hypothesis/Prediction Part A If the net force increases with a constant mass‚ then the acceleration would increase‚ because the force would push the object to increase the velocity. Part B If the mass of the cart increases with a constant net force‚ then the acceleration would increase

Determine the acceleration in a quick sprint. Question What would the participant’s acceleration be if he/she sprints forward in a positive direction? Hypothesis/Prediction When a person sprints forward‚ it means he/she speeds up. Consequently‚ the acceleration should be positive. When the velocity accelerates at a constant rate‚ the acceleration should remain constant. Therefore‚ if the participant is moving toward a positive direction and the speed increases‚ then the acceleration should be positive

the acceleration of a cart that rolling down from a frictionless track (our assumption) by calculating theoretically and measuring experimentally. Compare the experimental and expected values of acceleration. Show that the acceleration of a cart moving down a slope (from frictionless track) is dependent on the angle of the slope. Introduction If you have been on a roller coaster‚ you experienced a large‚ downhill acceleration after reaching the top of the first hill. Compare this acceleration to

2.6.1 Draw a vector diagram to show that the acceleration of a particle moving with uniform speed in a circle is directed toward the centre of the circle. Review of basic kinematics: If the acceleration and velocity of an object are parallel (or anti-parallel) then the object’s speed will increase (decrease). If the acceleration and velocity of an object are perpendicular then only the direction of the velocity will change and the speed (i.e. the magnitude of the velocity) will remain constant.
