Labquest Unit 6 Lab Results

Gather all of your equipment, a LabQuest 2, two friction blocks (one with sandpaper and one with foam), a force sensor, slotted masses, a ruler, and two sheets of graph paper.
Weigh the two friction blocks in kilograms. Then multiply that number by g, 9.8, to find the blocks’ weights in Newtons and record it.
Plug the force sensor into channel 1 of your LabQuest 2, this allows you to calculate the amount of force that you pull the block with.
Choose six of the slotted masses to place on the blocks, a different one each trial. After choosing which slotted masses you are using convert their mass to kilograms and multiply by g, 9.8, to find their weight in Newtons.
For each of the six slotted masses add their Newtonian weight to the Newtonian weight of each block, the sandpaper block and the foam block, and record it in the data table under the “total weight of the sandpaper block” or under the “total weight of the foam block” column.
Zero the LabQuest 2 and then drag the block with one of the slotted masses at a constant speed along the table. Place the force in Newtons, which is what is given by the LabQuest 2, under the “friction for the sandpaper block” column on the data table. Do this for the other five slotted masses as well.
Follow this same procedure from step five with the foam block but record the data under the “friction for the foam block” column of the data table for all six of the slotted
