Activity 2: (35 points) suppose you missed a lab on Newton s Second Law and you have arranged to do a makeup lab on your own. The instructor has provided on your computer station a 2 meter PASCO track, a super pulley, a Cart with a plunger, 80 grams of mass, and a stop watch that can measure up to 100 of a second. You noticed that the instructor did not provide the picket fence and the Photogates. You also know that your instructor had to leave for another engagement and there is no one else to help you secure additional equipment. You sit in the lab thinking how you are going to complete the makeup lab with what whatever equipment you have. From your knowledge of Newton s second law you know that in order to do the experiment you need to collect data on acceleration of the Cart for different forces, while keeping the mass of the System constant. After some thought you realize that you actually do not need the picket fence and Photogates to do the experiment and that you can still measure the acceleration of the Cart for different forces using the meter scale on the track and the digital stop watch. a. Write the equation that is applicable to this experiment to measure the acceleration of the Cart. The question is asking to use kinematics to use the equipment to determine the acceleration. No need to use Newton s Laws. Note measure the acceleration not derive. 1 2 x vt i at 2 b. Simplify the equation (acceleration on left hand side and everything else on right hand side) to find the acceleration of the Cart in terms of other quantities. From equation of part 1 just manipulate the equation to keep a on one side and everything else on the other side, note that initial velocity would be zero to make the measurement easier. 2 x a 2 t c. What initial condition(s) will you have to set? Level the track to remove the acceleration due to incline, than find the number of paperclips that takes to just overcome friction force. Also set initial velocity is zero d. What parameter(s) in your equation for acceleration are kept fixed? Δx is kept fixed, Mass of the system, initial velocity in each run should be kept to zero.
e. What quantity(s) will you measure? time, Mass of the cart and paper clips f. How will you improve the accuracy of your measurement of acceleration Make several trials for acceleration for each force and use the average acceleration? The level of the track can also affect the results. g. Suppose you performed the experiment and get the following data; with the equation y = A + B x where A=00027 and B = 0.666 and y is the force. What are the units for B. What physical quantity does A represent in the above equation? Force in Newton s Acceleration in m/s 2 0.127 0.190 0.213 0.320 0.446 0.670 0.646 0.970 0.739 1.11 B= kg, A= Friction Force Part 2 3.

Assume the angle θ of the inclined cable is 34.0.
T 2 = 930 N in the inclined cable T 1 = (930 N) cos(34.0 ) = 771 N in the horizontal cable 5. Two blocks are fastened to the ceiling of an elevator as in Figure 1.
