We obtained all the materials necessary for this lab and assembled them: we taped off four one-meter increments‚ connected the motion detector to the interface to the computer‚ and opened Logger Pro. 2. We then placed the motion detector on the tabletop‚ facing the four-meter open

Cart on a Ramp Argument Essay The experiment can be used to determine the acceleration due to gravity accurately when the slope of the ramp is extrapolated to 90 degrees. Experimentally‚ the acceleration due to gravity is valid because when the ramp is set to a 90 degree angle‚ it essentially has no slope‚ so objects that are set at a 90 degree angle experience free-fall which is 9.8 m/s2. Using this knowledge‚ during the experiment if the ramp is set at a higher slope‚ it is essentially approaching

Name:______________________________Period:______ The Ramp (and Friction) PhET Simulation Lab go to: phet.colorado.edu/en/simulation/ramp-forces-and-motion Introduction: When an object is dragged across a surface‚ the force of friction that must be overcome depends on the normal force as F=uN and the normal force is given by N= Wy‚ the vertical component of weight pointing perpendicular to the surface. When the angle of an inclined plane changes‚ the normal force changes and so does the friction. In this lab‚ you will change the

Constant Determining the effect mass has on acceleration Block 5 11/25/12 Purpose: The purpose of this lab is to determine the effect of additional mass added to a cart’s existing mass‚ without changing the 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

Lab Conclusion When comparing the average speed results from part two of the lab and the definition of acceleration‚ you find similarities between the two. First‚ average speed is distance divided by time‚ and we use it to describe the motion of an object moving at changing speeds. We can see this from our lab results from the average speed of the marble traveling down the ramp‚ because it picks up speed. When the marble is released at the top of the ramp‚ the ball doesn’t have the same momentum

Cart on an Incline Lab Kennedy Van Allen SPH 4U1 February 20‚ 2014 M. Reid Purpose: To determine both qualitative and quantitative properties of the motion of a cart on an inclined plane on position vs. time‚ velocity vs. time and acceleration vs. time graphs. Question: Which properties of the cart’s motion can be determined from examining each of the three graphs? Hypothesis: The predictions on the type of motion demonstrated by the cart-qualitatively- are shown below.

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

Acceleration from Gravity on an Incline I. Introduction: Acceleration is the rate of change of the velocity of a moving body. Galileo was the first person to actually experiment and examine the concept of acceleration back in the seventeenth century. Acceleration can be determined by calculating the gravity and an incline. An incline is slope that is deviated between horizontal and vertical positions. Gravity is the natural force of attraction towards the center of the earth. Because of this

Abstract: In this investigation‚ a mass was attached to a string and was swung horizontally for certain number of rotations (ten). The sole goal for this investigation was to find and verify the relationships between Centripetal Force‚ Frequency and Radius of circular path. In order to get relationships between the variables mentioned above‚ this experiment was divided into two parts. In Experiment A‚ the radius of the path (length of the string)‚ along with the mass was kept constant‚ and the relation

Finding the Acceleration of a Ball Problem Statement: How does the height of a ramp that is comprised of two parallel rulers affect the speed of a steel ball bearing rolling down it? Hypothesis: If the steepness of the ramp based on the amount of books propping it up are increased‚ then the steel ball bearings’ speed will increase. Materials: 2 wooden meter sticks 1 steel ball bearing 5 workbooks A roll of masking tape A stopwatch A smooth‚ long surface (preferably a table) Procedures: Arrange
