Rate Of Speed Lab Report

And travel further as the kinetic energy is increased as the level of friction and wind resistance is reduced.

     As you’re driving on your way to work one morning you notice a brand new bright red Corvette approaching fast in your rear view mirror. The speed

The track begins with a steep climp, building up potential energy in the coaster car. The rest of the

As the car go down it looses its potential energy because it is not at the same height anymore. As it loses the potential energy it gains kinetic energy. Kinetic energy came along because of its high speed. The mathematical equation for this is initial kinetic energy plus initial potential energy plus external work equals final kinetic energy plus final potential energy. To find work the equation is force times distance. To find power the equation is work divided by time.

Draw a graph that shows the distance Jacob’s car is from his house with respect to time. Remember

Next, the independent variable was the sail car and shed car. The speed acceleration was the dependent variable. The constants marble distance of photogate the angel of the track.

4. Connect the Newton Scale to the cart and then drag the cart up the ramp, across the 30cm difference at a steady rate.

14) A car traveling 60 km/h accelerates at the rate of 2.0 m/s2. How much time is required for the car to reach a speed of 90 km/h?

The purpose of this laboratory experiment is to construct a mousetrap vehicle. The vehicle needed to go travel five meters. My partner and I build a mousetrap car that obtain a two-axle vehicle with four CDs making the produce optimum acceleration and travel.

Ellen’s train should travel faster than 198.88mph but slower than 200.11mph and in 2.5 hours Ellen’s train would have traveled more than 497.2mi but less than 500.28mi.

At 1 second, the mousetrap car was traveling at a speed of 3.2m/s and as the mousetrap car moved down the track, at 5 seconds, the mousetrap car was traveling at a speed of only .98 m/s. The difference between the speed at 1 second (3.2 m/s) and 5 (.98 m/s) seconds was 2.22 m/s, the speed of the mousetrap car decreased 2.2 m/s as the car moved down the track. If I would’ve done this experiment at home, I would’ve improved it by letting one group go at a time because the noise from the other groups around the room interfered with our data once or twice. An experimental error that occurred during the lab was that once, the line on the graph increased at a smaller rate than the other trials. This was because we released the mousetrap car too early and because the car was father away from the motion detector at the start the motion detector picked up the car’s movement from 3 seconds to 5 seconds. Extension suggestions I have for a new experiment is, I would extend the trials so we would stop recording the positon the mousetrap car when the mousetrap would stay completely

The aim of the experiment is to examine how the acceleration of the car differs when the angle of inclination of the ramp is amplified and to record and analyse findings.

How does the incline of the ramp effect the time it takes for a car to go down a ramp?

     Acceleration and Speed are obviously the two defining characteristics of a fast car. Newton’s three laws of motion are an essential part in determining how fast a

A rightward moving rider gradually becomes an upward moving rider, then a leftward moving rider, then a downward moving rider, before finally becoming a rightward-moving rider once again. There is a continuing change in the direction of the rider as he/she will moves through the clothoid loop. A change in direction is one thing of an accelerating object. The rider also changes speed. As the rider begins to climb upward the loop, he/she begins to slow down. What we talked about suggests that an increase in height results in a decrease in kinetic energy and speed and a decrease in height results in an increase in kinetic energy and speed. So the rider experiences the greatest speeds at the bottom of the loop. The change in speed as the rider moves through the loop is the second part of acceleration which the riders experiences. A rider who moves through a circular loop with a constant speed, the acceleration is centripetal and towards the center of the circle. In this case of a rider moving through a noncircular loop at non-constant speed, the acceleration of the rider has two components. There is a component which is directed towards the center of the circle (ac) and relates itself to the direction change and the other component is directed tangent (at) to the track and relates itself to the car's change in speed. This tangential component would be
