Question

Open the simulation and double check that the settings on your screen are the same as shown in the image below. In this simulation, a string is pulling on a block, dragging it so that it moves horizontally to the right. The string should be at a 30-degree angle with the horizontal, the mass of the box should be 2.5 kg, and the coefficient of kinetic friction should be 0.4 N

Determine the magnitude of force that the string needs to exert (tension) so that the block moves with an acceleration of 2.48 m/s^2.

1)    State the hypothesis you are testing. The hypothesis should be the thing you are using to make the prediction of the force.

2)    Use the hypothesis to determine the magnitude of the force that the string should exert..

3) Once you have made your prediction, play the simulation, and record the outcome. If you were to conduct this experiment in real life, what would be some sources of uncertainty?

4)    Make a judgment about whether or not your hypothesis can be rejected or if it is supported based on this experiment. Justify your judgment with evidence from this experiment. What assumptions did you make?
