Name: bowdend-lab02 Date:1/29/2024 Lab 02 – Force and Motion Q1. Describe the motion of the box when a continuous force of 50 N is applied. Answer: The box moves in the direction it is pushed. Q2. Describe the motion of the box when a continuous force of 50 N is applied for 5 seconds and then released. Answer: When a continuous force is on the box the box accelerates but that is determined by the mass of the box. Q3. Describe what happens to the motion of the moving box when a force of 50N is applied to the left. Answer: It begins to accelerate to the left. Q4. Newton’s first law of motion states that an object at rest stays at rest with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. Explain how your answers to questions 1 to 3 support this law. Answer: Q5. Record the times needed to reach maximum speed when one crate is on the skateboard. Applied Force (N) Time to Reach Max Speed (s) 50 17.23 m/s 100 8.63 m/s 200 4.81 m/s Q5. Record the times needed to reach maximum speed when two crates are stacked on the skateboard. Applied Force (N) Time to Reach Max Speed (s) 50 39.62m/s 100 17.98 m/s 200 20.02 m/s Q6. Record the times needed to reach maximum speed when the refrigerator is on the skateboard. Applied Force (N) Time to Reach Max Speed (s)
50 19.9m/s 100 16.5m/s 200 7.1m/s Q7. Record the times needed to reach maximum speed when the wrapped package is on the skateboard. Applied Force (N) Time to Reach Max Speed (s) 50 5.1 m/s 100 8.9 m/s 200 3.3m/s Q8. What was your predicted time to reach maximum speed when a force of 400 N was applied with the wrapped package on the skateboard? Answer: Q9: What was your actual time to reach maximum speed when a force of 400 N was applied with the wrapped package on the skateboard? Answer: Was reached in under three 3 m/s Q10. In the steps above, you applied the same forces to several different objects on the skateboard. Which object was the most massive? Which object was the least massive? State the reasons for your answer to this question. Answer: The fridge had the most mass 200kg and the least mass was the girl at 40kg Q11. Newton’s second law states that the acceleration of an object produced by a net force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force in the same direction as the net force and inversely proportional to the mass of the object. Explain how your observations in steps 1 to 9 support this law. Answer: The heavier an object was the longer it took to get the motion going.
