Lab 3: Newton’s Law of Motion Newton’s Three Laws First Law: An object at rest remains at rest, and an object in motion remains in motion at constant speed Second Law: Relation between acceleration and force. Acceleration is proportional to force and inversely proportional to mass Third Law: Whenever one object exerts a force on a second object, the second object exerts an equal force in the opposite direction on the first one Group Members: Joe Vlassakis, Amir Crump Goals: The Goal of this lab is to be able to accurately differentiate between Newton’s three laws of motion in action on a graphical and physical basis Procedure: Part 1: For part 1 the procedure is to connect the motion sensor, and recognize which color it is Ours was a black motion sensor so we plug yellow plug In to Channel #1, black plug In to Channel #2, and set this as Motion Sensor II in the Capstone Hardware Setup menu.Set the range switch on the top of the sensor to the wide beam setting. then we aimed the motion sensor at the hockey puck required, we then used the capstone application to create a graph. To start we put our hands and recorded the speed and tried to rid all of the background noise, once we did that we continued on with the experiment and recorded the hockey puck trial. Part 2: For part 2 we set up a pulley system with the Pasco smart cart and a weight at the end of the pulley. We went back to Capstone and connected the car to the computer and we made a graph in Capstone to track our data, once all the setup was done we added a weight. With the data we received through the experiment, we then calculated the theoretical acceleration of the cart Part 3: For part 3 we put two Pasco smart carts on the same track both facing each other, and we zeroed the force sensors. Then we made two force vs. time graphs for each cart. Then after that, we added weight to one of the carts and recorded the data after we gently pushed one cart Error and Precaution: The error that could have happened was the motion sensor could have potentially missed a small gap due to background noise potentially interfering with our data.

Question:

Question 1. Which of Newton’s Laws describes the hover puck’s motion in region C? Newton’s First Law Question 2. Which of Newton’s Laws describes the hover puck’s motion in region A? Newton’s First Law Question 3. What does the value of the slope represent in our graphs of velocity vs. time? Acceleration Question 4. It’s very likely that the actual acceleration of the cart was less than the theoretical value you calculate. Do you think including friction in our theoretical analysis would bring our predicted value more in line with the actual value we measured or would including conflict make our theoretical value even farther from what we measured? A brief qualitative answer is all that’s needed here. The reason for the difference in number from the theoretical value and the actual acceleration it that the theoretical value does not include friction and without friction there will be no other variables that would affect the speed, whereas Friction reduces acceleration. Question 5. What is the maximum acceleration of the system if you were to hang an infinitely large mass from the string? Hint: plug 1000 kg in for m2 and 1 kg in for m1. (It may seem surprising that large hanging masses don’t translate into large accelerations but remember gravity is providing the downward force!) (1000kg + 1kg)(.354) Question 6. As the hanging mass m2 is falling towards the ground, many people would guess that the tension in the string decreases, but this is incorrect! In fact, the tension remains constant over time. Prove that the tension remains constant over time as the mass is falling using Newton’s 2nd Law. To do this, draw a free-body diagram of the hanging mass and note there are two forces acting on it: the tension and the force of gravity. Then use this to write out Newton’s 2nd Law for the hanging mass and explain how this shows

that the tension is constant given that the acceleration is constant. Tension in the string depends on the mass and acceleration due to gravity. Question 7. Which of Newton’s Laws is explored in Part III of this lab? Newton's Third Law

Question 8. Imagine a large truck collides with a much less massive shopping cart. Which of the two has a greater force acting on it? Based on Newton's third law the forces acting on each other are equal but the direction in which these forces act are opposite Discussion: In this lab, we used all three of Newton’s three laws of motion in action, and got physical and graphical data of those laws in act. The puck has forces pushing it against the surface so there is no friction occurring on the puck, so the puck is constantly moving. For part 3 of the lab, according to Newton's 3rd law, Whenever one object exerts a force on a second object, the second object exerts an equal force in the opposite direction on the first one so this shows that relative mass of the carts are not affected the force they impart as forces acting on each them.
