Exp.6

Hypothesis- You would have to use more washers to make 200g move.


Washer 1= Cart did not move
Washer 2= Cart did not move
Washer 3= Cart did not move
Washer 4= Cart did not move
Washer 5= Cart did not move
Washer 6= Cart did not move
Washer 7= Cart moved towards the metal rod.


200g took more force to make the cart accelerate.

Yes, the hypothesis was correct because the cart moved with 7 washers with 200g and the 100g cart started to accelerate with only 4.


Yes, the cart is proportional to the rate of mass,as stated in Newton's second law.

Problem Statement: Does it take more force to accelerate an object with a greater mass?


Objective: The purpose of this lab is to determine whether the weight of a object causes that object to exert more force when accelerating.


Hypothesis: While conducting this experiment, I predicted that the 200 gram mass will require more force because it is a heavier object.


Materials: In this experiment, I had to use tape, a steel rod, the table, string, a cart, a large paper clip, a 100 gram mass, a 200 gram mass, and washers.


Procedure:
1. I had to tape the steel rod to the edge of the table so that it is directly over the edge. This acted to reduce friction during the experiment.
2. I had to cut a piece of string about 1 meter long and attach one end of the string to the cart using a paper clip.
3. I had to put the cart on the table about 3/4 of a meter from the rod and hang the end of the paper clip over the rod.
4. I had to place the 100 gram mass into the cart and add washers until the cart began to accelerate.
5. I repeated step 4 for two trials.
6. I then had to place the 200 gram mass into the cart and add washers until it began to accelerate.
7. I repeated step 6 for two trials.
8. I logged all of my data inside of my notebook.

Data:
100 gram mass
Trial 1: It took 2 washers to accelerate the cart. The cart moved at a very slow pace.
Trial 2: It took 4 washers to accelerate the cart. The cart moved at a faster pace than trail 1.

200 gram mass
Trial 1: It took 5 washers to accelerate the cart. The cart accelerated slowly but at a constant speed.
Trial 2: It took 7 washers to accelerate the cart. The cart accelerated faster than trial 1.


Conclusion: By adding a heavier object, the cart had to exert more force: thus, proving my hypothesis correct. The force required to accelerate the cart is proportional to the rate of mass in this experiment, as stated in Newton's 2nd law of motion.

There are many practical applications that can be compared to this experiment and to Newton's 2nd law of motion. For example, just say you have a person that goes to the gym, and decides to use a machine that requires them to change the amount of weight applied to the machine. When they apply more weight to the machine, it will require them to exert more force to lift the weights.

While, conducting this experiment, I learned that it will require more force to handle an object when that object has had a significant amount of weight applied to it. It does not matter what type of object is trying to move, as long as it has a certain amount of weight applied to it, it will have to exert more force when trying to move.

Objective- Doe it take more force to accelerate in object with greater mass.

Hypothesis- I predict that once you put the string the cart will move and if you put enough on the cart will move so fast it flips over the rod.

Materials-
Washers
Halls Cart
String
Paper Clip
Rod
Tape

Prodcedure-

First we taped the rod to the table

Second We tied the string to the halls cart and the other end to a paper clip

Lastly we added Washers until the cart started to move.

Washers Speed
0 rest
3 rest
6 rest
9 fast
12 really fast

Washers Distance
0 29
1 29
2 27

Conclusion- The Hypothesis was correct it takes to times the washers to move a cart with 200g instead of 100g.

Materials:
Tape
Rod
Paper Clip

Washers

Procedure:
First, we took the tape and taped it to the end of the table.

Second, i cut a peice of the string and attached one end of it to the cart.

Lastly, we added Washers until the cart started to move.


Data:
Washers Speed:
0 rest
3 rest
6 rest
9 fast
12 really fast

Washers Distance:
0 29
1 29
2 27

Conclusion:
My hypothesis was correct, because with the cart it took 200(g) in stead of it being 100(g).

Objective: I had to address this question " Does it take more force to accelerate an object with a greater mass?"

Hypothesis: I use common sense and said that it would require more washers to move the 200g mass because it weighs more than the other one.

materials:My group use tape, a steel rod, the table, string, a cart, a large paper clip, a 100 gram mass, a 200 gram mass, and metal washers.

Procedures:
1. My group had to use tape the steel rod to the edge of the table so that it is directly over the edge. This acted to reduce friction during the experiment.
2. We had to cut a piece of string about 1 meter long and attach one end of the string to the cart using a paper clip.
3. We had to put the cart on the table about 3/4 of a meter from the rod and hang the end of the paper clip over the rod.
4. We had to place the 100 gram mass into the cart and add washers until the cart began to accelerate.
5. We repeated step 4 for two trials.
6. We then had to place the 200 gram mass into the cart and add washers until it began to accelerate.
7. We repeated step 6 for two trials.
8. We logged all of my data inside of my notebook.

Data:
We use 2 trials for both 100g mass & 200g mass.

100 gram mass
Trial 1: It took 2 washers to accelerate the cart. The cart moved at a very slow pace.

Trial 2: It took 4 washers to accelerate the cart. The cart moved at a faster pace than trail 1

200 gram mass
Trial 1: It took 5 washers to accelerate the cart. The cart accelerated slowly but at a constant speed.
Trial 2: It took 7 washers to accelerate the cart. The cart accelerated faster than trial 1.

Conclusion: My hypothesis was correct and it did require more washers to make the cart accelerate.In addition, with more washers which is adding more weight to pulling the cart and for it to gain more speed because of its weight.

Hypothesis- washers to move 200g mass


Washers- the cart didn’t move
Washers- the cart didn’t move
Washers- the cart didn’t move
Washers- the cart didn’t move
Washers- the cart didn’t move
Washers- the cart didn’t move
Washers- cart move towards the rod

The 200g mass took more force to accelerated the cart
Yes our hypothesis was correct
Yes the cart is proportional to the rate of mass

Hypothesis- You would have to use more washers to make 200g move.


Washer 1= Cart did not move
Washer 2= Cart did not move
Washer 3= Cart did not move
Washer 4= Cart did not move
Washer 5= Cart did not move
Washer 6= Cart did not move
Washer 7= Cart moved towards the metal rod.


200g took more force to make the cart accelerate.

Yes, the hypothesis was correct because the cart moved with 7 washers with 200g and the 100g cart started to accelerate with only 4.


Yes, the cart is proportional to the rate of mass,as stated in Newton's second law

Hypothesis- I predict that the cart will not move until after the fifth washer is loaded.

Materials- We used Washers, a Halls Cart, String, a Paper Clip, a Rod, and Tape.

Data:
1 Washer=Cart did not react
2 Washers=Cart did not react
3 Washers=Cart did not react
4 Washers=Cart did not react
5 Washers=Cart did not react
6 Washers=Cart stilly moves
7 Washers=Cart falls of the table

Conclusion:
My hypothesis was somewhat right cart did not start to move until after the fifth washer, but it was the sixth when it started to move.

objective:The purpose of this lab is to determine whether the weight of a object causes that object to exert more force when accelerating.

Hypothesis: i think that the more washers you add it will move foward more.

Materials:In this experiment, I had to use tape, a steel rod, the table, string, a cart, a large paper clip, a 100 gram mass, a 200 gram mass, and washers.

Procedure:
1. I had a steel rod so i had to tape it to the edge of the table so that it is directly over the edge. This is to reduce friction during the experiment.
2. I had to cut a piece of string about 1 meter long which is in a decimal: 39.3700787 inches and attach one end of the string to the cart using a paper clip.
3. I had to put the cart on the table about 75% or 3/4 of a meter from the rod and hang the end of the paper clip over the rod.
4. I had to place the 100 gram mass into the cart and add washers until the cart began to move or accelerate.
5. I kept doin this step for 7 trials.
6. I then had to place the 200 gram mass into the cart and add washers until it began to accelerate or move.
7. I repeated step 6 for two trials.

Conclusion:So in a nutshell adding more washers to the cart gave the washers a stronger weight, enough for the cart to accelerate or in dummy term 'move', and as a result my hypothesis was correct!! And Yes!!!! the cart is proportional to the rate of mass, as stated in Newtons second Law.

Objective: The purpose of this lab is to determine whether the weight of a object causes that object to exert more force when accelerating.

Hypothesis: I predict that the cart wont move until there is a large number of washer. I think when there are at least 5 washers the cart will start to move.

Materials: My group use tape, a steel rod, the table, string, a cart, a large paper clip, a 100 gram mass, a 200 gram mass, and metal washers.

Procedures:
1. My group had to use tape the steel rod to the edge of the table so that it is directly over the edge. This acted to reduce friction during the experiment.
2. We had to cut a piece of string about 1 meter long and attach one end of the string to the cart using a paper clip.
3. We had to put the cart on the table about 3/4 of a meter from the rod and hang the end of the paper clip over the rod.
4. We had to place the 100 gram mass into the cart and add washers until the cart began to accelerate.
5. We repeated step 4 for two trials.
6. We then had to place the 200 gram mass into the cart and add washers until it began to accelerate.
7. We repeated step 6 for two trials.
8. We logged all of my data inside of my notebook.

Data:
1 Washer=Cart did not react

2 Washers=Cart did not react

3 Washers=Cart did not react

4 Washers=Cart did not react

5 Washers=Cart did not react

6 Washers=Cart stilly moves

7 Washers=Cart falls of the table

Conclusion: My hypothesis was correct and it did require more washers to make the cart accelerate. The more washers were added the more weight to pulling the cart and for it to gain more speed and fall off the table.
