Title: Forces Table Introduction: The purpose of this week’s lab‚ titled “Forces Table”‚ was to look at vectors in two dimensions. The lab was also used to help up understand how to sum up forces and the decomposition. In our experiment‚ we had to estimate a third force that would balance out our other two. This would then make the sum of the forces zero. To calculate our forces we used Newton’s Second Law below: (1) In the above equation‚ the ƩF represents the sum of all of the forces in Newton’s

experimented for the equilibrant force‚ conditions and center of gravity. Our results showed consideration as to disregarding other forces than weight and tension. 1. Introduction Equilibrium is a state of balance in which it is a condition where there is no change in the state of motion of a body. Equilibrium may be observed on objects which are at rest and also to objects which are moving at a constant velocity. Two conditions for equilibrium are that the net force acting on the object is zero
Free Force Mass Torque
Abstract: The previous lab explored the effect of gravity on free fall. It was determined that acceleration is always constant under free fall. However‚ in this lab‚ acceleration was observed under different forces‚ other than just gravity. Therefore‚ depending on how strong the forces being exerted were‚ acceleration differed. It wasn’t constant anymore. Using a glider on a air track and a pulley‚ different masses were attached at the end of the string and the glider was allowed to move on the

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. A blower pump is placed under the table‚ and it is connected to the beam‚ which allows air to blow out from the holes to reduce the friction of a moving object on top of it. At the

Buoyant Forces The purpose of this lab is to calculate buoyant forces of objects submerged in water. The first step in the lab was to measure the mass of a metal cylinder‚ which was found to be 100g‚ and then to calculated it’s weight‚ which was .98 newtons. Then next step was to measure the apparent weight of the cylinder when it is completely submerged in a bath of water using the formula Wa=ma*g ‚ this was found to be 88.5grams. Knowing these two numbers‚ the buoyant force that the water

Lab 1- Measurements of a Table ABSTRACT: The purpose of this experiment was to determine the value of the acceleration of a free falling object and to describe the range of experimental values. Within the experiment the items used to help provide the conclusion that 2/3 or our values fell within the 9.62m/s^2- 9.78m/s^2 range was a Vernier data-collection interface‚ Logger Pro Application and the apparatus Photogate. The results found within the 30 trial periods were all precise

Safety- In this lab the needed safety materials required are safety goggles and apron. Also its suggested to wash hands after dealing with any of the chemicals. some chemicals with safety hazards we will be working with are Sodium chloride with is slightly toxic if ingested.

The purpose of the first part of the lab‚ 4.1 What a Drag!‚ was to measure the force required to pull a block over five different surfaces. The sliding surfaces used in the lab were the tabletop‚ waxed paper‚ paper towel‚ fine sandpaper‚ and coarse sandpaper. The purpose of the second lab‚ 4.2 Changing The Load‚ was

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
