The Relationship Between Mass and Acceleration
Procedure:
Our groups task was to prove the relationship between mass and acceleration using the formula F=ma (force is equal to the mass times acceleration). We decided to have a constant force for this lab, we saw this as the easiest of the options. To eliminate any forces we used a flat surface with a smooth finish eliminating any friction force. In this lab we are in our physics vacuum, air resistance will not be a factor because air resistance is a small factor to such a large weight. Our materials for this project are a cart, various small gram weights, a Ipad app/device to gather acceleration information, a cart blocker, and a long sleek flat surface that combines with the cart. The first objective for our lab was to weigh the cart that we were using. The weight of the cart by itself was 496 grams . We ran a trial with just the cart's weight and found the average acceleration. We did this by rolling the cart down the ramp traveling for exactly one meter, where it is stopped by the cart blocker. As we continued our procedure we started to add on more and more weight for each added trial. We completed the lab using four different weights. The next to the procedure of the lab was to gather all the accelerations collected by our Ipad. We then graphed the information on Excel showing the correlation of mass and acceleration in F=ma.

Essay on Whap: Volume and Density

Introduction: Background Information “Mass is a measure of the amount of matter an object has”(Measuring Density Lab 1.) Different materials will have different mass, and there are multiple units that can be used to measure mass like grams, kilograms, pounds, or ounces. “Volume is the amount of space an object occupies”(Measuring Density Lab 1) Volume can also be measured in multiple units like liters, meters cubed, gallons, quarts, cubic centimeters, and cubic inches. Mass and volume are both needed to…

Questions On Physics

55.a) v of ball= 300-20= 280 m/s Speed of light= 3*10^8 m/s b) I would not expect my watch to be affected by the time dilation because the plane does not move fast enough. The watch would not be able to pick up on a small change in time dilation. 56. No, because the time dilation A will be ahead of B. b) Δt’= Δt/√(1-v^2/c^2) = Δt/√(1-100^2/7.0*10^8^2) = Δt/0.9999, very little difference If c= 2v Δt’= Δt/√(1-100^2/200^2) = Δt/√0…

Thrust: Water and Mass Times Acceleration Essay

Thrust is a Must! The Study of Increasing a Water Rocket's Performance by Increasing the Density of Water (m dot = D * V * A ) Mass flow rate = density times velocity times area of nozzle. This equation explain how to find the mass flow rate( m dot) which is the thrust that is exerted out of the water rocket for (F= (mv)dot ). By changing either one of the variables the outcome (m dot) will change, this project focuses on changing the density (D) of this project in order to have an increased…

Physics: Energy and Speed Time Graph Essay examples

DVT Graphs- We can put information down into graphs that tell us a lot about how an object is moving. The steeper the straight line the ‘higher’ the constant speed The gradient of a straight line on a distance time graph gives the speed v=d/t OR v=rise/run A ‘flat line’ means object is stopped/stationary Curved line (upwards) acceleration away from the starting point Curved line (downwards) deceleration/slowing down Speed, Time graphs A speed time graph that has…
