Fan Cart Lab We did a fan cart for our physics class the other day. To set up the lab first‚ we measured the effect of the mass of the fan cart on the acceleration of the cart. The mass of the fan cart was the independent variable and acceleration was the dependent variable. We kept the speed of the cart on medium‚ and calculated the acceleration and motion. As a result‚ we had figured out that the bigger the mass the slower the acceleration‚ as we all should have known. To calculate this we used

Physics 1 Lab #10 1/29/13 Chapter 7 Lab:Pop Rockets 1. List and explain two ways that you could improve the flight performance of your rocket. Your responses must consider the materials you had available to work with. The rocket I produced was a normal looking rocket compared to the group of rockets I was working with. It was medium size in length and thickness. The head of the rocket was a little wide and lose‚ and the flaps were not arrow dynamic what so ever. To improve the flight

experiment was to observe the relationship between centripetal acceleration‚ centripetal force‚ and a mass M. In this experiment we used a circular motion apparatus that had a plumb bob attached to a metal shaft (that connected the plumb bob to the vertical shaft) and spring. We found the centripetal force from the spring when it was in circular motion. We hung masses off a pulley system that was attached to the plumb bob until the plumb bob was perpendicular to the horizontal shaft. We took the distance

The purpose of this lab was to learn about Newton’s laws of motion by completing an experiment‚ to see how the forces act on objects. The independent variable of this experiment is the type and amount of materials used for the interior of the vehicle (out of the material list) and how they were used. The dependent variable is how and if the interior of the vehicle protected the egg from getting cracked. The controlled variables of this experiment were the height that the vehicle was dropped from

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

Newton’s Second Law Lab Preliminary Questions 1. When you push on an object‚ the magnitude of the force on the object directly affects it’s motion. If you push harder on the object‚ it’s motion is larger. 2. If we have a bowling ball‚ and a baseball each suspended from a different rope‚ and hit each ball with a full swing of a baseball bat‚ the ball that will have the greatest amount of change in it’s motion will be the baseball. This is true because the baseball has a smaller mass than a bowling

In this lab‚ we alter the number of the coffee filter we use‚ so we could make a relationship between the masses of an object and their average velocity and prove the theory about the relationship between the mass of an object and the average velocity. This was done by using different numbers of coffee filters and analysing the data of the curved graph using the GO-Motion detector. In table 1‚ we can clearly see that the higher the mass
