Forces and Friction Name Lab Procedure – Answer the questions in red. Download and run the Java application “ramp-forces-and-motion_en.jar”. The Introduction screen will look like the screen capture below. 1. On the “Introduction” screen, you will be starting with a crate that has a mass of 100 kg and a coefficient of sliding friction of 0.3 and a coefficient of static friction of 0.5 Draw the Free Body Diagram (a picture showing the forces on the crate) before you apply any force. You do not need to turn the diagram in, just describe below. The crate should be stationary at -6.0m on the horizontal axis.
a) Describe the vector forces in your free body diagram. Make sure that the application is initially “paused”. Also, check the “record” button. If it is not paused, press the pause button, the clear button. Add 100N of applied force, and push the button and record what happens. b) Draw a free body diagram showing all the forces . Describe all of the vector forces on your diagram. 2. C alculate how much force would be required to get the crate moving from rest. a) Explain how you calculated this, and give your result.
Now try it out by entering the force you calculated (or a tiny bit more, say 5%), and pressing the play button. Make sure you are paused with a clear screen first. b) What happened? c) What happened as the crate began to move up the ramp? Describe a free body diagram while the crate is on the ramp. What force is working against your applied force? d) If the crate were initially barely moving, calculate the MINIMUM force you will need to apply to get the crate up to the top of the ramp. Use a coefficient of friction of 0.3. Explain how you did the calculation and give your prediction.
