| Newton's Laws |
| A vertical force moves the wagon horizontally. The force of gravity on 1.0 kg or 1000 g = 9.810 newtons or 2.2 lbs of force. Graph F vs A for 3 different wagons: Record the data and use Graphical Analysis to plot graphs . Let hanging mass = 1,2, or 3 g and calculate gravity force, record acceleration and graph it for 100 g (0.100 kg) wagon. Graph F vs A (force on the vertical axis). Record slope. Calculate the equation of the line and put on the graph.Also put the mass of the cart in Kg on the line Change mass of the wagon to 200 g and use hanging mass 1,2,3 g...record A and graph F vs A and record slope again. Put mass of the cart in Kg on the line also. Repeat for 400 g wagon . Record slope. Find the equations of the line and put on the graph along with the mass in Kg. Conclusion: What seems to be the relationship between Pulling Force, Mass being pulled and Acceleration? Based on t his lab what is a Newton equal to? Summarize the whole lab in words and then (if you can) an equation> 30 pts |
