Newton’s 2nd Law Lab Introduction: The purpose of this lab was to prove Newton’s 2nd Law; which states accelerate equals force divided by mass (a=F/m). During this lab we were trying to find out the relationship between acceleration‚ force‚ and mass by using a air track‚ glider with picket fence‚ and photogates. Before I did the lab‚ I had already knew that acceleration‚ force‚ and mass were related. I just didn’t know how they were related. When recording the results of this lab we had to record

Alixandria Zeidel Physics 131 – section LZ Hasbrouck 208 10/01/14 Forces and Newton’s 2nd law Abstract The purpose of this lab was to learn about how force influences acceleration. A hanging mass is tied to a frictionless glider and the mass is dropped. While the glider is being pulled by the mass it is possible to measure to tension force on the rope between the two objects. A motion sensor graphs the movement of the system and from the slope it is possible to calculate the acceleration of both

Prac Report Problem: How does the increase mass affect acceleration and the force of the accelerating object? Purpose: The purpose of the practical is to find how mass affects acceleration and how it affects also the force of the accelerating body. To do this we are going to do the ticker tape experiment where an accelerating body pulls a tape through a consistent 50 dot per second ticker timer. The acceleration body in this experiment will be a small trolley pulled by a string that is pulled

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

Interpretation of Results The objective of the experiment‚ entitled Newton’s Second Law of Motion‚ is to verify the direct 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

E104: NEWTON’S SECOND LAW OF MOTION METHODOLOGY In Part A of the experiment (Constant Mass‚ Changing Net Force)‚ place the dynamics track on the laboratory table. Make sure that it is horizontal by placing the dynamics cart on the track. If the dynamics cart does not move‚ then the track is already horizontal. Otherwise‚ make the necessary adjustments. Get the mass of the dynamics cart. Write this under m1 in Table 1. Set the first photogate at the 20-cm mark of the dynamics track and the second

Pre-lab: Newtons Three Laws of Motion: There are three laws of motion that have been stated by Sir Isaac Newton during the sixteenth century that are looked upon even today. The first of these laws states that an object will stay in at rest or in a constant velocity unless a force acts upon it. In simplest terms this means that if u place an apple on the table it isn’t just going to roll off. The second of these laws states that when a force acts upon an object it causes it to accelerate

conducted was primarily about Newton’s second law of motion. Newton’s second law of motion states that a net force is required for a body to have acceleration. If a net force is applied on an object‚ then the object will accelerate with respect to the direction of the said force. The body’s acceleration is directly proportional to the net force and inversely proportional to its mass. The experiment conducted was used to verify the relationships specified in Newton’s second law of motion. There were 3

The graph above shows the relationship between acceleration and force as proportional. As the force upon the car in the experiment increased‚ the acceleration of the car increased by a similar proportional. This complies with Isaac Newton’s second law of motion‚ the law of acceleration‚ which describes acceleration and force as two proportional measures in the equation F (force) = m(mass) x Ac(acceleration)‚ also described in the equation Acceleration= force/mass. With this equation‚ when the force
