    about 30 meters from edge when it starts skidding through dirt and sand. Newton second law says Fnet = Ffriction = µmg = ma where the acceleration of the car is completely due to the friction force. M is the mass of the car‚ g is equal to the acceleration due to gravity (9.8m/s2) ‚ µ is the coefficient of sliding friction between sand and tires (0.5 at most)‚ and a is the acceleration of the car. Solving for a we get: a = µg = (0.5)(9.8m/s2) = 4.9 m/s2If we assume a relatively constant acceleration

    machines was recently proposed. Ball mill A typical type of fine grinder is the ball mill. A slightly inclined or horizontal rotating cylinder is partially filled with balls‚ usually stone or metal‚ which grinds material to the necessary fineness by friction and impact with the tumbling balls. Ball mills normally operate with an approximate ball charge of 30%. Ball mills are characterized by their smaller (comparatively) diameter and longer length‚ and often have a length 1.5 to 2.5 times the diameter

    1. Determine the spring constant‚ k‚ of Spring 1‚ by using Hooke’s Law.  Take three different measurements (since 3 masses) and do three calculations and average your k’s to get a more accurate answer.  By applying lots of friction‚ you will be able to get your mass to hang still.  Show a table of your data and your calculations of k. Spring 1 with three different masses: 50 grams: Spring stretched: 5m F = 50gm * 9.8 m/s2 = 490.00 N K= 490/5m = 98 100 grams: Spring stretched: 10m F = 100gm * 9

    faster it falls. This is understandable if a feather and a stone were dropped from the same height. However Aristotle failed to further test his hypothesis in order to take into consideration other variables such as air resistance‚ surface area and friction. Galileo conducted many experiments to prove his theory correct that objects of different masses‚ dropped from the same height will reach the ground at the same time. (Kallos‚ 2004) Galileo also deduced that in a vacuum‚ all objects fall at the

    elevator moves up with a constant speed of 2.0 m/s2 . (b) The elevator has a constant upward acceleration of 2.0 m/s2 . (c) The elevator has a constant downward acceleration of 2.0 m/s2 . (d) The cable snaps and the elevator falls freely (ignore friction and the bloody end!). SOLUTION: The weight of the person depends on Mass and g‚ therefore: W = M g = (70.0 kg) 9.80 m/s2 = 686 N downward in all cases (a)-(d). Using the free-body-diagram for the person is shown to the right‚ We solve for N (which
