The expression for the acceleration of the cart for the experiment you did in lab is
a =
(m1g ? f)
(m1 + m2)
where
m1 + m2
is kept constant throughout.
Consider the situation when friction force is zero. What is the expression for the acceleration of the cart now? (Use the following as necessary: m1, m2, f, and g.)
a=(m_1 g)/(m_1+m_2 )
As the friction coefficient f will be zero.
If you now triple the hanging mass m1, (so m = 3m1), how will the value of the denominator for the expression for the acceleration change?
The denominator will triple in value.
The denominator value will be 3m1 + m2.
Tripling m1 will decrease m2 by that amount and the total mass will have a constant value as required by the experiment.
Answer: Tripling m1 will decrease m2 by that amount and the total mass will have a constant value as required by the experiment. As, experiment already mentioned that m_1+m_2 will be kept constant throughout.
What is the expression for the acceleration now? (Use the following as necessary: m1, m2, f, and g.)
a=(3m_1 g)/(?3m?_1+m_2 )
Based on your answers to the previous parts, what conclusion can you draw about the acceleration of the cart?
The cart's acceleration will triple as the numerator in the expression for the acceleration will triple when m1 is tripled.
The cart's acceleration will remain the same as the total mass is constant during the experiment.
The acceleration will increase by a certain value but not by a factor of 3.
Answer: The cart's acceleration will triple as the numerator in the expression for the acceleration will triple when m1 is tripled. And the denominator will adjust itself to remain same despite of tripling the mass m_1
(b) Consider the situation when friction force is non-zero. What is the expression for the acceleration of the cart now? (Use the following as necessary: m1, m2, f, and g.)
a=(m_1 g-f)/(m_1+m_2 )
If you now triple the hanging mass m1, (so m = 3m1) how will the value of the denominator for the expression for the acceleration change?
The denominator will triple in value
. The denominator value will be 3m1 + m2.
Tripling m1 will decrease m2 by that amount and the total mass will have a constant value as required by the experiment.

The sum of the forces on an object is directly proportional to the mass of the object and directly proportional to the acceleration of the object. The second law is expressed by the equation: (1) F=ma If the mass is in kg and the acceleration in m/s2, then the force is in Newtons. In (1), F is the net applied force, m is the mass of the object on which the force is applied, and a is the acceleration of...

In lab, you propel a cart with four known forces while using an ultrasonic motion detector to measure the cart's acceleration.

2. Suppose you did two separate trials with the same mass on both the cart and the hanger, but the software reported different values for b. Should one of the runs be rejected? (a) The one with the larger value of b should be rejected. (b) The one with the smaller value of b should be rejected. (c) Neither should be rejected, the value of b has no effect on our results. Applying Newton's second law to a setup like...
Objective: The objective of this laboratory is to understand the relationship between force and acceleration. Hopefully, this lab will also get you thinking more about the relationship between different factors within accelerating systems. Prediction: In this laboratory, you will be applying a constant force (using a constant hanging mass) to a system. For this an air cart will be placed on a level air track with a string attached to it over a pulley. A hanging mass will then be hung from the end of...

You create a lab to investigate the concept of work and energy. Figure 1 is a sketch of the experiment setup. The system can be considered frictionless. You have found the combined mass of the cart & force sensor to be 1.20[kg]. The cart is initially at rest. After attaching a 200[g] mass to the end of the string, the cart starts moving. The distance between the floor and the bottom of the hanging mass is initially 80.0[cm]. Assume the...
