determine their effect on the force of friction. All throughout the lab it was important to record the data found to identify how much the three variables affected the force of friction. 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

Force is required to produce motion in a body. Once it gains motion‚ it will‚ without any further force‚ keep on moving with uniform velocity and zero acceleration only in ideal case where there is no friction force. If friction force was completely removable‚ everything in the universe would then keep on moving without any external force once it was set into motion. But it is a fact that friction can never be completely removed‚ thus the notion of ever uniform velocity is not possible in this real

Friction Cynthia Clark Student No. xxxxx May 19‚ 2009 Abstract This experiment measures the coefficient of static friction (μs) and kinetic friction (μk) between objects of different materials. Friction is a force that must be overcome before an object can move across a surface. A plain block of wood and a block of wood with sandpaper on one side and glass on the other were used. All of the blocks had a soup can with a mass of 0.41

increase in a normal force‚ there will be a corresponding increase in friction. Introduction: Force is usually connected with a push or pull exerted on an object. In this experiment‚ I am using a contact force‚ a force that exists from physical contact between two things. I am pulling the spring scale‚ which measure force in Newtons (kg x m/s2)‚ and then the block is moving. Different masses (kg)‚ or the measure of the resistance of an object to changes in its motion due to a force‚ of an object

Forces Have you ever wondered how forces link to our life? Everything we’ve learned in science has got me thinking about it. Forces are an essential part of our daily lives. Forces act on all objects. And we need force for everything we do‚ whether it’s a push‚ pull or twist. Force gives an object the energy to move‚ stop moving or change direction. Newton’s first law states that an objects velocity cannot change unless it is acted upon by a force. Here are examples of force in everyday life.

weigh the plain block and object used on top of the wooden block in grams and Newton’s‚ as this information will be useful throughout the lab. Next place the ramp board horizontally on a table to measure the friction of the block and the weight of the soft drink can set on top of the wooden black by connecting the blocks hook to the spring scale. Meanwhile set the block and its weight on the board with its largest surfaces in contact with the surface of the board and connect the blocks hook to the 500-gram

Purpose/Problem/Question Which type of friction is the largest force – static‚ sliding‚ or rolling? Which is the smallest? II. Background Information From our previous activities that we did in class‚ I know that static friction is a very large force. The force is larger than rolling‚ sliding‚ and fluid friction. I also learned that rolling friction is the smallest type of force. This information may connect to my final analysis. III. Hypothesis If static friction is the largest force‚ then either sliding

Hypothesis: The smaller the amount of normal force (weight)‚ the less friction created and the least surface area and the greaser the surface the less friction is created. With
