PHYS 1403
INTRODUCTION
In this lab, we will explore
work
as well as
energy with a spring
. Specifically, the
relationship
between the
work stored in the spring
, and the
velocity at which the
spring can launch an object
. To learn this, in this experimental video, we use a spring
that launches a cart from three different points of view:
entire event, release,
and
spring stretch.
We also learn about
force constant.
MATERIALS
In this lab experiment, we used the following materials:
●
Spring
●
Ruler
●
Timer
●
Cart
●
Scissors
●
String
PROCEDURE
1.
Allow the video to fully play and watch the full event (cart launched by a spring).
2.
We will be finding the relationship between the amount of work that is required
to stretch the spring and the resulting velocity. To do so, we will first select a cart
mass (choose
502 g
). Then, begin with
Spring Stretch 1
and record the distance
for which the spring is stretched before the launch using the spring stretch ruler
(
8 cm
). *
Make sure the point of view is on spring stretch.
3.
Because we are trying to also find velocity, we will record the time. To do this, we
will simply change the point of view to
release
. In addition, change to the ruler
that states, “
the ruler calibrates to measure cart motion
”. Then, pause the video
once the string is cut, place the ruler above the green dot, and allow the cart to
move until it reaches the end of the 30 cm. While this occurs, record the time
(make sure to reset the timer after the string has been cut and stop it once it has
reached 30 cm). *The time you should end with is
0.800000 sec
4.
You will continue until you have collected a total of 5 data points each for the
stretch options 1-5. You will collect this data using the same steps as above.
Force Constant
1.
You will be performing another experiment to determine the
force constant
of
the spring. While using the spring you will also use disks each having a mass of
100g. For each of the 5 disks, you will record the number of centimeters that each
spring stretches. First, begin by placing the ruler before the spring has moved.
2.
Next, allow the spring to stretch with one disk. Record your measurement (
3.5
cm
).
3.
Continue using the same steps until you have recorded all 5 disks.

You are a biomedical engineer working for a small orthopaedic firm that fabricates rectangular shaped fracture

Activity 3.8 Precision and Accuracy of
Measurement
Introduction
This concept of random and systematic errors is related to the precision and accuracy
of measurements. Precision characterizes the system's probability of providing the
same result every time a sample is measured (related to random error). Accuracy
characterizes the system's ability to provide a mean close to the true value when a
sample is measured many times (related to systematic error). We can determine the
precision of a measurement instrument by making repeated measurements of the same
sample and calculating the standard deviation of those measurements. However, we
will not be able to correct any single measurement due to a low precision instrument.
Simply stated, the effects of random uncertainties can be reduced by repeated
measurement, but it is not possible to correct for random errors.
We can determine the accuracy of a measurement instrument by comparing the
experimental mean of a large number…

Learning Goal:
To use the principle of linear impulse and momentum to relate a force on an object to the resulting velocity of the object at different times.
The equation of motion for a particle of mass m
can be written as
∑F=ma=mdvdt
By rearranging the terms and integrating, this equation becomes the principle of linear impulse and momentum:
∑∫t2t1Fdt=m∫v2v1dv=mv2−mv1
For problem-solving purposes, this principle is often rewritten as
mv1+∑∫t2t1Fdt=mv2
The integral ∫Fdt is called the linear impulse, I, and the vector mv is called the particle's linear momentum.
A tennis racket hits a tennis ball with a force of F=at−bt2, where a = 1300 N/ms , b = 300 N/ms2 , and t is the time (in milliseconds). The ball is in contact with the racket for 2.90 ms . If the tennis ball has a mass of 59.7 g , what is the resulting velocity of the ball, v, after the ball is hit by the racket?

Learning Goal:
To understand the concept of moment of a force and how to calculate it using a scalar
formulation.
The magnitude of the moment of a force with a magnitude F around a point O is defined

We are assuming we can treat the car as a projectile.arrow_forwardTask 1 You are a student at the HTU University, the instructor of the fundamental of thermodynamic course asked you to explain the fundamentals of thermodynamic systems to Grade 10 school students to help them visualize the importance of thermodynamics in their life starting from their car engine and moving to the different appliance that they use in their home, discuss the following with school students: Q1. What does thermodynamics mean and represent? Give examples from your daily life. Q2. What is a thermodynamic property? What is the difference between intensive and extensive properties. Why the density is an intensive property; it is dependent on mass and volume which are extensive properties, right?. Q3. What is the difference between energy and heat transfer? Give examples on both. Q4. What does the first law of thermodynamics state? Give two examples on the first law of thermodynamics from your daily life. Q5. Write down the equation of energy balance for closed, open, and…arrow_forwardO You are running an industrial research study together with your project team to improve energy efficiency in a combustion process. The purpose of the research is to identify the optimum air-fuel ratio for the combustion process in a boiler under varying conditions of air supply and quality of fuel. The study would involve design of experiments, data collection and analysis, simulation of the different variables and validation of the optimum parameters. There is a lot of pressure to improve the energy efficiency as there is a forecast of fuel price rise in the forthcoming month.

- account_circle Science PhysicsQ&A LibraryA child’s toy consists of a m = 31 g monkey suspended from a spring of negligible mass and spring constant k. When the toy monkey is first hung on the spring and the system reaches equilibrium, the spring has stretched a distance of x = 17.6 cm, as shown in the diagram. This toy is so adorable you pull the monkey down an additional d = 7.6 cm from equilibrium and release it from rest, and smile with delight as it bounces playfully up and down. 1. Calculate the speed of the monkey, ve, in meters per second, as it passes through equilibrium. 2. Derive an expression for the total mechanical energy of the system as the monkey reaches the top of the motion, Etop, in terms of m, x, d, k, the maximum height above the bottom of the motion, hmax, and the variables available in the palette. 3. Calculate the maximum displacement, h, in centimeters, above the equilibrium position, that the monkey reaches. A child’s toy consists of a…arrow_forwardPLTW Engineering Activity 3.8 Precision and Accuracy of Measurement Introduction This concept of random and systematic errors is related to the precision and accuracy of measurements. Precision characterizes the system's probability of providing the same result every time a sample is measured (related to random error). Accuracy characterizes the system's ability to provide a mean close to the true value when a sample is measured many times (related to systematic error). We can determine the precision of a measurement instrument by making repeated measurements of the same sample and calculating the standard deviation of those measurements. However, we will not be able to correct any single measurement due to a low precision instrument. Simply stated, the effects of random uncertainties can be reduced by repeated measurement, but it is not possible to correct for random errors. We can determine the accuracy of a measurement instrument by comparing the experimental mean of a large number…arrow_forwardNewton’s 2nd Law Lab (Modeling friendly lab) Go to the PhET simulation Forces & Motion. https://phet.colorado.edu/sims/html/forcesandmotionbasics/latest/forcesandmotionbasics_en.html Select “Acceleration” Click to show Forces, Sum of Forces, Values, Mass, and Acceleration. There are two experiments for this activity – make sure you include both. Experiment #1: Acceleration vs. Force In this lab you will determine the relationship between acceleration and net force. Choose a mass at the beginning, and keep it constant for this entire experiment. Set the friction to zero. This will make your Applied Force equal to the net force. Record data for five different values of Applied Force. Graph Acceleration vs. Net Force. Graph this in Google sheets(you want a line graph - it should only have one line). Make sure that Applied Force information is used as the x value Make sure that Acceleration information is used as the y value Add a trendline – see what fits best –…arrow_forward
