resulting acceleration to be half as large‚ because mass and acceleration have an inverse relationship to each other‚ when it comes to Newton’s Second Law of F = m*a. Analysis 1. When comparing the graphs of Force vs. Time and Acceleration vs. Time (see attached graph#1)‚ we see that both graphs have similar shapes‚ both force and acceleration follow in the same direction of each other. 2. We can see from both of the graphs produced from our experiment‚ that Force and Acceleration are directly

The purpose of the Picket Fence Free Fall Lab was to examine the acceleration of objects as they fall to earth. During free-fall the only force that should be acting upon the object is the earth’s gravitational pull (9.8 m/s/s)‚ therefore the velocity of the object should always equal 9.8 m/s/s. In this lab the picket fence was dropped repeatedly through a photogate connected to Logger Pro‚ which allowed the fence’s acceleration and velocity to be recorded and graphed. The results of the experiment

Objective: To study the relationships between position‚ velocity‚ and time‚ with acceleration held constant‚ of an object moving in one-dimensional motion with minimum friction. A motion sensor will be used to measure various aspects of vector quantities. Description: An Air Track is positioned along the edge of the table. It is a long straight metal beam with many small holes that are roughly each 2mm in diameter. It is positioned at an angle to allow the gliders to glide down the slope

Imagine a horse pulling a cart. What would happen to the speed of the cart if several bags of cement were added to the cart? The speed of the cart would decrease. 2. Suppose several more horses were hitched up to the same cart. How would this affect the speed

The forces experienced by the rider are constantly changing‚ leading to feelings of joy in some riders and nausea in others. The basic principles of roller coaster mechanics have been known since 1865‚[citation needed] and since then roller coasters have become a popular diversion. * | centripetal acceleration Centripetal acceleration is not a true force‚ but rather

class the other day. To set up the lab first‚ we measured the effect of the mass of the fan cart on the acceleration of the cart. The mass of the fan cart was the independent variable and acceleration was the dependent variable. We kept the speed of the cart on medium‚ and calculated the acceleration and motion. As a result‚ we had figured out that the bigger the mass the slower the acceleration‚ as we all should have known. To calculate this we used the second law of Newton (F=ma). For the first

NEWTON’S LAWS OF MOTION Newton’s First Law of Motion An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. There are two parts to this statement - one that predicts the behavior of stationary objects and the other that predicts the behavior of moving objects. The two parts are summarized in the following diagram. The behavior of all objects can be described by saying that objects tend
