Introduction. Friction was studied in this lab. The experiments were conducted using a clipboard glued to various surfaces with diffirentiating frictional properties. In order for us to test the varying Static friction or Kinetic friction we used a Newton force gauge‚ some wooden blocks‚ and a metal weight. The actual experiment consisted of two parts. The first part measured the net force‚ or more specific the net force required to overcome the kinetic friction coefficient‚ to move the block across

Ballistic Pendulum‚ meter stick‚ carbon paper‚ 2 sheets of white paper‚ metal ball‚ plumb bob. Procedure: In preparation to fire the metal ball from the spring gun‚ we moved the pendulum arm to its maximum position and out the line of fire. We fired the spring gun to get an estimate of where the ball will drop on the floor. We then set up the carbon paper between two sheets of white paper on the floor in the spot that the ball hit the floor. We fired the spring gun 3 times‚ each time using a meter

April 29‚ 2014 Abstract The objective project was to use our knowledge of physic properties to create a working car that was powered by a mouse trap. I found that the lighter the car was and the more traction the car had‚ the further it travelled. Introduction The purpose of this project was to create a car that is powered by a mouse trap. We were to use our knowledge of physics laws to make the best car we can. I knew from Newton’s Law‚ F=ma‚ that if my car had a lower

1.05 Drop and Bounce Lab (2013) Name Overview: In this lab‚ we will test balls made of various materials. The matter that composes the ball must store energy on impact and then release the energy in a way that allows elastic recoil‚ or bounce. In addition to elasticity‚ there is also a relationship between the height from which the ball is dropped and the height of the bounce. We will measure and graph the relationship of those two variables. Procedure: 1. Open the Drop and Bounce Virtual

Introduction The purpose of this lab is to examine the motion of an electron‚ when it encounters a constant magnetic and electric field. We will also observe when the electric field and magnetic field will cancel each other out. This will lead to the electron having no net force acting upon it. By adjusting the values for the magnetic and electric fields‚ we will be able to check the different paths the electron follows. From this data we will be able to calculate the charge-to-mass ratio. Then

The drop of the egg has many physics‚ when the egg drops there it has lost for forces behind it such as the eggs speed and the movement of it. The forces of the egg is velocity‚ speed‚ Newton’s first law‚ gravity and acceleration. If you see when the egg drops the motion will still remain moving until it gets interrupted by any other other forces‚ for example the floor that the egg would eventually hit would be the force that causes it to stop it from moving. Do to history and past experiments the
