Introduction:
In this experiment, we will be measuring the coefficient of kinetic friction of the
IOLab device as it moves along the smooth side of a board. This will be determined with two
different methods, with one method performed by two different groups. The coefficient of kinetic
friction is related to the friction of an object. Specifically, kinetic friction is the friction an object
experiences while it is moving. This friction opposes the motion of a moving object in an attempt
to slow down and ultimately stop its motion. It can be calculated with the use of Newton’s
Second Law, where the net force acting on an object is equal to the mass of the object times its
acceleration.
Methods:
1.
Place IOLab flat down on the smooth side of
a cardboard plank with the felt pads touching
the board
2.
Calibrate the device using IO Lab software.
Connect the IO Lab Device to the computer
and verify that data is being recorded with a
test run of the device.
3.
Align the IOLab towards one end of the
board, and then give an initial push to the
IOLab towards the longer side of the board (see picture on right)
4.
Record acceleration (m/s
2
) of the IOLab in the computer application for each trial
5.
When the IOLab comes to a halt, stop the recording and the
trail is complete
6.
Repeat steps 2, 3, 4, four more times (5 trials total)
7.
Use the absolute value of the acceleration data to find the
friction force by multiplying with the known mass
(according to Newton’s second law F=ma) of the IOLab
(0.2kg)
8.
Using the equation f
k
=μN, the friction force and Normal
force (g*0.2kg) can be plugged into the equation, and then
algebraically solved to find the value of μ

We often think of friction and air resistance as forces that we want to minimize because they can hinder the motion of an object. But they are not always undesirable, and in fact, can be an essential element in a machine or process.
Identify one or two applications that depend on friction and air resistance. Explain how friction or air resistance works in those situations and what would happen if there were no friction or air resistance. Your initial post should be 75-150 words in length and is due on Sunday.

Force and Accelaration
A group of students conducted an experiment to determine the relationship between the force acting on the object and its acceleration. They used identical rubber bands to pull the cart as shown in Figure 8. They varied the number of rubber bands to vary the force acting on the cart. They started with 1 rubber band, then with 2, 3, and 4 rubber bands, making sure that they stretched the rubber bands to the same length every time they pull the cart. They used a ticker tape timer to determine the acceleration of the cart. A ticker tape was connected to the cart such that when the cart was pulled, the paper tape will be pulled through the timer. And as the paper tape was pulled through the timer, small dots are formed on the tape.
Starting with the tape for 1 rubber band, they marked the first clear dot and every 6th dot thereafter and cut the tape along these points (Figure 9). Then they pasted the strips side by side in order on a graphing paper to produce the tape…

If you were performing this experiment in an in-class laboratory, you would be given one or more small iron balls. These would be utilized with a variant of the Free-Fall apparatus shown in the graphic below.
(INSERT PICTURE HERE)
You would first raise the upper black clamp to the desired height above the middle clamp. Then you would place the ball firmly in the upper clamp. Next, you would turn on the timer and adjust its initial reading to zero. After you release the ball, it falls towards the middle clamp. When it encounters this clamp, the timer stops and you can read the time of fall.
Results are usually within 10% of the standard value of g. Here, in this online version, I will supply values of height (h) and time (t). First, calculate the average time (tav) for each height and use it as described next. You will use the third equation above to calculate the value of gravitational acceleration (g) in each case. Then, you will determine the…

One of the complicating factors in analyzing motion is the presence of friction. It is difficult to
isolate the effect of friction and to imagine what motion looks like without it. Newton's 2nd law of
motion states that a force applied to a mass will cause an acceleration, f = ma. UNLESS THE
PROBLEM STATES OTHERWISE, assume the experiments below are performed on a surface of
smooth ice so that the effect of friction is negligible.
1) a. Imagine a cube-shaped mass of 100 kg. If two people push it to the right, one with a force
of 150 N, and one with a force of 220 N, what acceleration should the cube experience?
b. Instead, if one person pushes to the right with a force of 150 N, and the second person
pushed to the left with a force of 220 N, what acceleration should the cube experience?
