Lab Exercise 2: Acceleration A. Objective This experiment will provide data to calculate the acceleration of a marble as it rolls down an incline plane over measured periods of time. To do this‚ the marble’s velocity will be determined and then its acceleration. 1. What is the distance between two marks in your inclined plan? -50cm 2. What is the angle of your inclined plan with respect the horizontal? -16degrees 3. Newton’s first law says a body at rest will remain at rest unless

NEWTON’S SECOND LAW OF MOTION Abstract This study’s objectives are first to verify the direct proportionality of acceleration and net force if the mass of the body is constant and then to verify the inverse proportionality of acceleration and mass if the net force is constant. With the use of‚ mainly‚ the dynamics cart and the weight hanger‚ certain variables such as the mass on the cart and the mass on the hanger which is the net force were manipulated‚ controlled or changed in order to illustrate

Name: Lauren Date: February 15‚ 2016 Title: May The Force Be With You Abstract: Experimental Question: How does the mass of the first model source car affect the acceleration of the second model source car at rest to in motion? Research: When we drive our cars‚ motorcycles‚ trucks‚ or any vehicle down the road‚ we are driving them at a certain velocity and direction. All vehicles have a mass to the order of a few hundred pounds. When our vehicles move at a certain speed down the road‚ they create

experiment is to verify the acceleration due to gravity using the picket fence with a photogate‚ LabPro and LoggerPro software by measuring it with a precision of 0.5% or better. Theory: All objects‚ regardless of mass‚ fall with the same acceleration due to gravity assuming that there is no air resistance. Objects thrown upward or downward and those released from rest are falling freely once they are released. Any freely falling object experiences acceleration directed downward‚ regardless

net force‚ mass and acceleration Hypothesis: Since Newton’s second law of motion states that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the total force acting upon that object‚ we can assume that the more mass being pulled down on the cart the greater the acceleration of it will be and therefore the greater its net force will be.

proportionality of acceleration and net force if the mass of the body is constant and to verify the inverse proportionality of acceleration and mass if the net force is constant. It is now clearly explained and proven that Newton’s second law of motion is true. By experiments‚ the law is proved. All data produced results parallel to what Newton states. We can say that the acceleration is directly proportional to the net force if the mass of the body is constant. The acceleration increases as the

Sierman Lab Report: Experiment #7 Group #4 October 16th‚ 2012 Forces on a Pulley System A. Statement of the Problem The purpose of this lab was to address the following questions: how does the acceleration of a pulley system depend on the mass of the driving objects? And how does the acceleration of a pulley system depend on the mass of the driven object? To achieve this‚ a dynamic track was set up with a string attached to a cart. The string was part of a pulley system (the pulley was at the

Relationship Involving Acceleration‚ Net Force‚ and Mass Giho Park Purpose The purpose of this lab investigation is to observe the relationship among the net force‚ mass‚ and acceleration of an object. Hypothesis/Prediction Part A If the net force increases with a constant mass‚ then the acceleration would increase‚ because the force would push the object to increase the velocity. Part B If the mass of the cart increases with a constant net force‚ then the acceleration would increase
