For an object pulled or pushed horizontally‚ the normal force - N - is simply the weight: N = m g (2) where m = mass of the object (kg‚ slugs) g = acceleration of gravity (9.81 m/s2‚ 32 ft/s2) Frictional Coefficients for some Common Materials and Materials Combinations Materials and Material Combinations Static Frictional Coefficient - μs Clean and Dry Surfaces Lubricated and Greasy Surfaces Aluminum Aluminum 1.05 - 1.35 0.3 Aluminum- bronze Steel 0.45 Aluminum Mild Steel 0.61 Brake material

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

Coefficient of Kinetic Friction Objective: After completing this experiment‚ you should be able to measure the coefficient of sliding friction of an object that is located on an inclined plane. Apparatus: Inclined Plane Pulley attachment for plane Wooden blcok‚ with hook attached Meterstick Felt Set of masses String Protractor Procedure: 1. Place the board in the position shown in Figure 7-1. 2. The angle of the board should be small enough so that the wooden block will not slide down

Premium Force Kinematics Experiment
FRICTION Friction is necessary for walking due to the following reason‚ As per Newton’s third law of motion‚ (every action has an equal and opposite reaction) we can walk if and only if the ground we are walking on push our feet back with a force. Now‚ as per the third law the ground would definitely push our feet back but if we are walking on a perfectly smooth ground which has no friction our force would simply cancel out the force reverted by the ground and we would fall. If there was no

Purpose. The purpose of this lab was to understand equilibrium. To do this‚ you must find the equilibrant of the resultant of three vectors‚ both mathematically and graphically and test the results. Procedure: A) Put the weights necessary for each of the vector forces on each hook. B) Set the wheels of the force table at the proper angles‚ including the calculated equilibrant. C) When placing the hooks on the wheels‚ be careful to hold the table in place so it does not flip over. D) To test

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
