purpose of this lab was to learn about how force influences acceleration. A hanging mass is tied to a frictionless glider and the mass is dropped. While the glider is being pulled by the mass it is possible to measure to tension force on the rope between the two objects. A motion sensor graphs the movement of the system and from the slope it is possible to calculate the acceleration of both items. By recording the masses and acceleration of both the glider and hanging mass‚ it is possible to measure

design an experiment to measure free-fall acceleration‚ the researcher must construct a wooden tower with height 10 meters along with a trap door system to release a tennis ball from rest position. In this case‚ the researcher must measure the time the ball takes to free-fall from rest position to the ground. Using this info and the formula: s=vit+ 12at2 s = 10 m vi = 0 m/s The researcher will find the time of fall and calculate the acceleration due to gravity. In this case with displacement

Constant Determining the effect mass has on acceleration Block 5 11/25/12 Purpose: The purpose of this lab is to determine the effect of additional mass added to a cart’s existing mass‚ without changing the applied force‚ on the acceleration of the cart. We will test this effect by hanging a constant mass to a cart and use a computer program‚ LoggerPro‚ to calculate the acceleration which is expressed through the slope of the

The second law states that the acceleration of an object is dependent upon two variables - the net force acting upon the object and the mass of the object. The acceleration of an object depends directly upon

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
