5. Compute a linear least-squares-fit of the calibration data and plot the resulting line on the same graph as the calibration data. Comment on the linearity of the pressure transducer and scannivalve. Part 3: Calibration of the Tunnel 1. Connect the micromanometer (calibrated in Part 2) across the wind-tunnel contraction in order to measure the static pressure drop.
This allows the driver to increase the down force on the rear wheels while turning to increase traction. Additionally the wing is used to increase drag during braking. The wing is stabilized in the lateral direction with a link arm utilizing spherical rod ends at each end. While cornering the link arm failed, causing a tire to blow out. Stress Analysis An important factor to determine is how much stress the stabilizing link needs to withstand.
To analyse this further, we can observe Newton’s first law of motion. Newton’s law describes how an object in motion, remains in motion. This is why the roller coaster continues going up the slope [1]. However, the KE is lost, as gravity takes effect and
Vary m by adding or removing mass from the glider. Repeat steps 5-11. Try at least four different values for m. Calculations For each set of experimental conditions: Use the length of the glider and your average times to determine v1 and v2, the average glider velocity as it passed through each photogate. Use the equation a = (v2 - v1)/t3 to determine the average acceleration of the glider as it passed between the two photogates. Determine Fa, the force applied to the glider by the hanging mass.
FOR LANDING THRUST MUST BE LESS THAN DRAG, AND LIFT MUST BE LESS THAN WEIGHT. THE FOUR FORCES ACTING ON AN AEROPLANE AN AIRPLANE IN FLIGHT IS THE CENTRE OF A CONTINUOUS TUG OF WAR BETWEEN FOUR FORCES: LIFT, GRAVITY FORCE OR WEIGHT, THRUST, AND DRAG. LIFT AND DRAG ARE CONSIDERED AERODYNAMIC FORCES BECAUSE THEY EXIST DUE TO THE MOVEMENT OF THE AIRCRAFT THROUGH THE AIR. THE WEIGHT PULLS DOWN ON THE PLANE OPPOSING THE LIFT CREATED BY AIR FLOWING OVER THE WING. THRUST IS GENERATED BY THE PROPELLER AND OPPOSES DRAG CAUSED BY AIR RESISTANCE TO THE FRONTAL AREA OF THE AIRPLANE.
Assisted by Frank, Julia, Hannah, and ______ Abstract In this lab, Thermal Energy is being determined once the car starts from the top of a track, to the bottom of the track. Once the car starts at the top it has Potential Energy which is due to the objects position. As the car slides down the track, it creates Kinetic Energy which is due to an objects motion. The purpose of the lab was to figure out the Thermal Energy as the car slid down the track. Data was lead to figure out the Thermal Energy is J.
Friction Objectives: To provide an understanding of the concept of friction. To calculate the coefficient of friction of an object by two methods. Materials: Ramp board: 3 - 4 feet long, 10 cm wide Can of soft drink or item of similar weight Friction block set-PK Protractor Scale-Spring-500-g Tape measure, 3-m Lab notes: Using the wooden block provided in LabPaq, a long board, a can of beans and the 500-g spring scale I will try and determine the force of kinetic friction, N, and the force of static friction, N while pulling the block at a constant speed. I will convert kg-mass to Newtons by multiplying the kg-weight by 9.8 m/s2, i.e., 100 g = 0.1 kg = 0.1 x 9.8 = .98 N.

Forces Test Review 1. Inertia can be best described as the (A) force that keeps an object in motion with constant velocity (B) force that keeps an object at rest (C) force that overcomes friction (D) property responsible for an object's resistance to changes in motion (E) property responsible for slowing down an object 2. A box is given a sudden push up a ramp. Friction between the box and the ramp is not negligible. Which of the following diagrams best represents the directions of the actual forces acting on the box as it moves upward after the push?
Like at the bottom of the first hill as the car goes up the hill gravity pulls on it, so that it decelerates. And in the first hill as the coaster train goes down gravity tends to pull it down towards the ground as it accelerates. Like in Newton’s first Law – an object in motion must stay in motion.
The kinetic energy of an object is determined by the mass and velocity at which the object is moving. When a coaster cart is dispensing down the first hill not all the potential energy is converted into kinetic energy, some is lost in other conversion processes. For example the friction given up by the moving parts of the cart give off heat. PE is also converted into some sound energy with the contact of the cart and the track in the process of reaching the top of the hill. The cart causes the supporting structure to flex, bend and vibrate and producing kinetic energy but not on the cart but on the track.
