Dean Taylor 6/7/23 PHY 133 L69 TA: Chamathka Thotamuna Wijewardhana The Force of Friction
Introduction: The force of friction is one that moves opposite to sliding motion. The goal of this lab report is to measure how friction changes with mass and to draw conclusions from collected data. While there are two key types of friction (static and kinetic), this lab will focus only on determining kinetic friction by an increasing mass of the IO Device and determining the coefficient of kinetic friction for a given surface. Prior to the movement of an object, static friction is in effect. If an object is in movement the force due to friction is described as being kinetic. The IO Device will be used to determine varying masses and accelerations with a given mass in order to solve for a coefficient of friction. It is expected that as mass increases, force of friction increases as well while the coefficient of kinetic friction should not change. The following equations will be used to make this determination: ࠵? = ࠵?࠵?

Procedure: Determination of Mass: 1.
Ensure the USB is plugged in and the IO Device is powered on 2.
Use the screw attachment on the force sensor 3.
Place the IO Device such that the y-axis points towards the floor 4.
Press record, wait 1 second, and lift the device by the screw (hold in place for a couple seconds) 5.
Place the device down and press stop 6.
Use the analysis tool to record mean acceleration prior to the lift as well as mean force during the lift 7.
Use the formulas above to solve for the mass Finding Deceleration and Force Due to Friction 1.
Ensure the USB is plugged in and the IO Device is powered on 2.
Attach the plate attachment to the force sensor 3.
Place the IO Device on face up (such that the “IO Lab” label faces the ceiling) 4.
Press record and push the device from the plate in the “y-direction” 5.
After the graph returns to its original values, press stop. 6.
Use analysis mode to find the acceleration just after the applied force 7.
Note this figure and use the equations found above in conjunction with the calculated masses to find force due to friction Measurements for Varying Masses 1.
Tape a mass (such as a phone or lighter) to the wheel (or “IO Lab”) side of the IO Device 2.
Follow instructions given in both sections above to determine new mass as well as new acceleration 3.
Tape an additional mass to the IO Device (ensure you leave the originally added mass to the device) 4.
Perform the experiment, again, using procedures above 5.

Discussion: In assessing whether the hypothesis can be accepted or rejected, it is clear the results are in line with what was expected and so we accept the hypothesis. Throughout this experiment while most values were consistent, there were some discrepancies which point towards noteworthy error. One such example was the gap between calculated coefficient of friction and the slope generated by excel. The calculated average for coefficient of friction was found to be 0.2438 while the slope was generated to be 0.1612. This is somewhat significant of an error and could be a result of human error in carrying out the experiment as well as random error. One important aspect to note, however,

is that all experimentally calculated values of the coefficient of friction were quite close with one minor “outlier.” The respective values were as follows: 0.2542, 0.2549
, and 0.2221. However, even with any gaps, some amount of error is expected and the two calculated values are close enough to state that the hypothesis is supported by the generated slope. The slope of Normal Force and Force of Friction represents the coefficient of friction which is why the two values are being compared. Masses for each test were determining using acceleration due to gravity while the object was a rest in addition to acceleration due to gravity in order to use F=ma and determine that m=f/a, or in this case, m=Fg/g. Furthermore, by using the accelerometer, accelerations and previously calculated masses were used to determine the force of friction. Using the force of friction (and noting that FN=Fg), values for the coefficient of friction were calculated with the equation. ࠵?

In assessing error, values were all quite low implying conclusions made from data assessment are firm. As a result, it is clear that the coefficient of friction is unaffected by mass and mass and force due to friction have a direct positive relationship.

The "spring-like effect" in a golf club could be determined by measuring the coeffi cient of restitution (the ratio of the outbound velocity to the
inbound velocity of a golf ball fired at the clubhead). Twelve randomly selected drivers produced by two clubmakers are tested and the
coefficient of restitution measured. The data follow:
Club 1: 0.8406, 0.8104, 0.8234, 0.8198, 0.8235, 0.8562, 0.8123, 0.7976, 0.8184, 0.8265, 0.7773, 0.7871

Condition 1- Normal Walk (NW), condition 2 - walking over an obstacle (ObsW). The right limb was the one to step on platform 1 in both conditions. The force platforms were used to measure the vertical ground reaction forces on the right limb. Data was collected on Vicon (Nexus) software and the attached graphs ( mean NW/ObsW, Mean (+-)1SD NW/ObsW) were created. Analyse ,Interpret the graphs and make a conclusion of the result attached.

Tires are one of the most frequently encountered applications of the gas laws that we never think about. We fill our tires with air, or with nitrogen, but it always works out the same way. Enough gas goes in, the tire inflates, and then the pressure starts going up. In this assignment, we’ll be investigating the ways that the gas laws impact how we treat our tires.
Q1. I have good information that in Fast 29, Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel) will need to refill a tire quickly during a dramatic moment. For this reason, he has a 3.00 L tank of compressed air that is under 2.7892*103 mmHg and is kept cool in dry ice at -35.0 °C.
When Dom hooks his compressed air up to his completely empty 10.50 L tire at 39.2 °C and lets it run, what will his final tire pressure be, in atm? Assume all the air is transferred into the tire. Is his tire pressure above the 2.31 atm that he needs to save the planet/his family/his crew?

The nuchal ligament in a horse supports the weight of the horse’s head. This ligament is much more elastic than a typical ligament, stretching from 15% to 45% longer than its resting length as a horse’s head moves up and down while it runs. This stretch of the ligament stores energy, making locomotion more efficient. Measurements on a segment of ligament show a linear stress-versusstrain relationship until the stress approaches 0.80. Smoothed data for the stretch are shown.
The volume of the ligament stays the same as it stretches, so the cross-section area decreases as the length increases. Given this, how would a force F versus change in length ΔL curve appear?
