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

Objectives: To learn about motion through studying and matching graphs of position vs. time and velocity vs. time; to develop an understanding of the concepts of kinematics. Predict‚ sketch‚ and test motion graphs to better understand motion.

applied force‚ on the acceleration of the cart. We will test this effect by hanging a constant mass to a cart and use a computer program‚ LoggerPro‚ to calculate the acceleration which is expressed through the slope of the graph. The cart’s initial mass is 500 grams which we change by adding more weights in order to see a difference in acceleration. Some basic background information needed for this experiment is first‚ and foremost‚ Newton’s Second Law of Motion stating: The acceleration (a) of a body

Isaac Newton Isaac Newton was born on December 25‚ 1642‚ in Woolsthorpe‚ England. His father died before he was born‚ and his mother mother‚ Hannah Newton‚ remarried and moved away. She left Newton to be raised by his uncle. In 1654‚ he was sent to the local grammar school‚ then he enrolled at Trinity College‚ at the University of Cambridge‚ in 1661. He received his bachelor of arts in 1665‚ and was named a fellow of the College two years later. In 1666‚ Newton made three of his greatest discoveries

Newton’s Laws First let’s get to know some history about the man behind all of this‚ Sir Isaac Newton. Sir Isaac Newton‚ the man who is responsible for what we all have come to know as the “Laws of Motion” was born on January 4‚ 1643‚ which is very often displayed as December 25‚ 1642‚ if using the older version of the Julien calendar‚ in the Helmet of Woolsthorpe‚ England. Sir Isaac Newton is believed to be one of the most influential scientists known to have ever lived. His ideas became the basis

sole purpose of applying the law of conservation of momentum. Is this true? I also would like to note that a graph could not be drawn in some situations again due to me lacking the technology to send photos of handwritten notes. Hence there is sadly no examples of a problem for translational equilibrium and for the force-time graph in which impulse can be identified. I also have referred to explosions as divisions. Is this appropriate? Newton’s First Law of Motion: A body will remain

1405 Name(s)_____________________ HOOKE’S LAW and SIMPLE HARMONIC MOTION INTRODUCTION Any motion that repeats itself in equal intervals of time is called periodic motion. A special form of periodic motion is called Simple Harmonic Motion (SHM). Simple Harmonic Motion is defined as oscillatory motion in which the resultant force on the oscillating body at any instant is directly proportional to its displacement from the rest position and opposite in direction to its motion. For a spring

Newton’s First Law of Motion explains that objects in a state of uniform motion tends to remain in rest unless an external force is applied to it. Galileo’s concept of inertia is termed “Law of Inertia”. Law of Inertia‚ an object in motion will continue in the same motion unless acted by an outside force. Aircraft in flight is an example of First Law of Motion‚ four forces on an aircraft; lift‚ weight‚ thrust‚ and a drag. Consider the motion of an aircraft at constant altitude‚ we can neglect the
