Force

Introduction: In this lab, we will be analyzing the effect of force on the acceleration of a cart both with and without added mass. In a sense we will be seeking to confirm Newton's second law of motion. As stated in the second law of motion, force is equal to mass multiplied by the acceleration or F=ma. When we increase the mass we would expect the acceleration to decrease when force is the same as the rewritten equation would be f/m=a. In this case it is important to specify the difference…

different masses. Obtaining the velocity, for each trial in part one, from Newton’s law would be hard because we do not know the exact degree of the force being applied to the carts. In order to derive the acceleration from Newton’s second law, we would have to have the mass of the cart and the force acting on the object. We would have to find the force first before we can apply Newton’s second law in order to find the acceleration of the cart. The results from part two show that the mass…

unbalanced force” In this video the athlete is at rest when he is first on the starting block. He is being acted upon by normal force between him and the block. When he bends down to pull with all his strength on the block he is creating a tension force between him and the block. He then gets power and pushes off the block with both feet. He is accelerating into the air and being acted upon by an unbalanced force. He is changing his motion and is no longer in constant motion.…

we rotated a wheel, which was the Force LBF , and it simply acted as a load. As we continued to turn the wheel right, the more force or more weight would be applied onto the bridge. We began hearing cracking and seeing an arch form at the top of the superstructure at 45 Force LBF. Our bridge reached a certain point to where there was too much stress onto the bridge, that the Force LBF retracted back to 46 pound-force, then we only we went up 4 more pound-force until we called it…

held end of the rubber band snaps to the other end. Mechanical energy is the sum of the potential energy and kinetic energy in an object, associated to its motion and position. An object possessing mechanical energy has the ability to do work. When a force applied to an…

Trajectory and applied force both have very much too do with our rocket lab. Trajectory affects how far the rocket will get beacuse trajectory is a curved path of an object that has been fired or thrown through the air. This affects the rocket beacuse the angle of the rocket that is launched at is part of trajectory and the rocket was launched off of an angled platform so this affetced how high the rocket went before coming down. Another part of trajectory is how gravity affects the objects…

Porter’s Five Forces The Five Forces model developed by Michael Porter is designed to help managers and key employees understand how a firm can position itself to secure and maintain a competitive advantage within their given industry, and to realize the profit potential of such positioning. The model broadened the perspective of competitors and incorporates five influential factors, including new entrants, suppliers, buyers, substitutes, and the rivalry among competitors. These five factors…

The sport known as badminton has its origins in ancient civilisations in Europe and Asia. The ancient game was known as battledore (bat or paddle). Shuttlecock was probably originated more than 2000 years ago in the 1600s, where it was just two people hitting a shuttlecock back and forth without it hitting the ground. In 1934, the International Badminton Federation was formed, with the initial countries, which included England, Wales, Ireland, Scotland, Denmark, Holland, Canada, New Zealand…

Introduction: The purpose of this lab is to help students gain a better understanding of physical concepts such as work (which occurs when an applied force moves an object.) torque (defined as a twisting force), energy and rotational inertia (an object's resistance to rotation). Experimental Design: My group’s testable question throughout the mousetrap car experiment was: If we add and subtract factors such as material, weight and shape, from the wheels of our car, how will it affect the…

Objective: The purpose of this lab was to examine Newton 's second law by observing the relationship between force and acceleration in a friction-free environment and to illustrate the concept of mass. The experiment was conducted in such a way to reduce friction. In order to simulate this environment an air-cushioned track was set-up for the glider to ride on a pocket of air without being in contact with the metal track. In addition, this glider will have masses attached to it as well as a…
