Learning Objective
1. Describe friction and identify the factors that determine
the frictional force between 2 objects.
Forces
Friction Experiments
Goal: Determine what 2 factors affect the frictional force between two objects.
Also, determine how friction can be reduced.
Hypothesis (x3): For Part 1, determine which surface (floor or rug) will produce the
greatest frictional force. For Part 2, determine how the added weight will affect the
frictional force. For Part 3, determine how adding wheels will affect the frictional
force (w/o weights).
Procedure (Use the Digits function, not the Graph function):
Part 1- Push an upside-down go-car (wheels up) across the floor using the force
sensor to determine the frictional force that needs to be OVERCOME so the car can
move at a constant speed. Make sure you ZERO the sensor before you start
pushing. Repeat the procedure above with the rug.
Part 2- Add weight to the go cars and repeat Part 1.
Part 3- After removing the weights, flip the go-car over so that the wheels are on the
floor and repeat Part 1.
Results: Organize your results for each part of the procedure.
Forces
Friction Experiment
Conclusions (in complete sentences):
1. Which surface produced a greater frictional force? Explain why this is
the case.
2. What was the effect of extra weight on the frictional force? What was
the effect of wheels on the frictional force?
3. Make your claim/conclusion (make sure it relates to the goal below),
and back it up with evidence from the experiment. Use your
conclusions from #1 and #2 above for guidance.
Goal: Determine what 2 factors affect the frictional force between two
objects. Also, determine how friction can be reduced.
Forces
Friction Notes
For friction notes, examine your conclusions from the Friction
Experiment.
Friction is a force that resists or inhibits the motion of
objects when they move against each other.
Also, you should know that the type of surface of an object
and that how hard surfaces push together affect friction
(you increased the 2nd variable in bold by adding more
weight).
Lastly, know how wheels affect friction as well as any other
ways to reduce friction.

Gravity
The force of gravity on a person or object at the surface of a planet is
known as weight.
Right now you are experiencing 1G, which is the amount of force due to
the gravity on Earth.
When you ride on a rollercoaster, you will experience more than 1G.
Sometimes, you are feeling 3, 4, or 5 G’s due to the acceleration of the

1. Explain why objects accelerate during free fall (by
describing how gravity affects falling objects).
Forces
Acceleration Due to Gravity (No lab write-up)
Goal: Determine the acceleration due to gravity for objects in free fall.
Pre-Lab Demos (Dropping Paper and a Ball): Determine if objects of different
masses accelerate slower or faster by observing when they hit the ground. Does
the mass of an object change how fast it free falls? Why or why not? So, does
the force due to gravity affect all objects on Earth the same?
Hypothesis: We will do the hypothesis as a class verbally.
Procedure:
1. Use a motion sensor from a high height (on the Digits and Acceleration settings)
& drop a ball (AFTER HITTING PLAY) to determine the Acc. due to Gravity.
2. Repeat 3-5 times and RECORD the acceleration right before the ball hits the
ground (hit play to pause the data collection).
Results/Conclusions (Make sure you can answer these questions):
1. What is the acceleration due to gravity from the experiment?
2. The actual value is
m/s/s. How close were you to the actual value?
3. What may cause the ball to not accelerate as quickly (what could slow it down)?

Forces
Newton’s 1st Law of Motion
Objects in Motion (Pencil on a cart being stopped):
Stay in motion until a force stops them from moving.
Objects at Rest (Tablecloth Demo):
Stay at rest until an outside force causes the object to move.
Inertia:
The tendency of an object to stay in motion or stay at rest.
What does inertia depend on? Example- Which has more
inertia a toy car or a large truck?
As mass increases, inertia increases.
Newton’s 1st Law:
An object in motion will stay in motion unless acted on by an
unbalanced force. Also, an object at rest will remain at rest
unless acted on by an unbalanced force.
Forces

football player?
A. He has a small inertia.
B. An object at rest will stay at rest until an unbalanced force
causes it to move.
C. An object in motion will stay in motion until an unbalanced
force acts on it.
D. Because he plays for Notre Dame.
Forces
Why is it difficult to move heavy objects from rest?
A. Because they are at rest.

What Affects Force? (Newton’s 2nd Law)
1. Suppose you push two people who have the same mass. You
push with more force on one person vs. the other. Which person
would accelerate faster from rest?
2. Suppose you push two people and they both accelerate at the
same rate. However, one person has much more mass than the
other. Which one required more force to accelerate?
3. Suppose you push two people with the same amount of force.
However, one person has more mass than the other. Which
person would accelerate at a faster rate?
Forces
Newton’s 2nd Law Experiment
Goal: Determine the relationship between Force, mass, and acceleration for an
object (a Go-car in this case).
Hypothesis (x 3):
1. What has to happen to the force required to move an object if acceleration
increases (& mass is constant)?
2. What would happen to the force if mass increases (& acceleration is constant)?
3. What would happen to the acceleration if mass increases (& the force is
constant)?
Procedure (use Digits):
Part 1- Keeping mass on the cart constant, determine the relationship between force
and acceleration. (Determine the force needed to accelerate the car slowly
and compare to the force needed to accelerate the car quickly)
Part 2- Keeping acceleration constant, determine the relationship between mass and
force. (Determine the force needed to move the car from rest to a constant
speed with weights and compare to force required without weights at a
constant speed). This can be tricky to achieve so as long as the acc. Is close
it’s okay.
Part 3- Keeping force constant, determine the relationship between mass and
acceleration. (Determine the acceleration with and without weights but keep
the force the same)
Results: Organize your results in a table for EACH part.

Momentum- Use what you think momentum
is and modify your definition based upon
what is discussed in class (if needed).
Newton’s Cradle: Is the total momentum
lost or transferred for this activity? How do
you know?
Bouncing Sports Balls: What makes the
sports balls on top bounce as high as they
do?

momentum lost or transferred for this
activity? How do you know? Be sure to
think about how the direction of the cars
affect this experiment.

Conservation of Momentum
Law of the Conservation of Momentum (mass in motion):
The total momentum is conserved (or does not change)
for any group of objects, unless outside forces (such as

Read and Understand
What information have you been given?

Mass of larger sledgehammer = 4.0 kg
Velocity of larger sledgehammer = 1.0 m/s

m/s or a 4.0-kg sledgehammer swung at 1.0 m/s?
Plan and Solve
What quantities are you trying to calculate?
The momentum of each sledgehammer = __
What formula contains the given quantities and the unknown
quantity?
Momentum = Mass X Velocity
Perform the calculation.
Smaller sledgehammer = 3.0 kg X 1.5 m/s = 4.5 kg x m/s
Larger sledgehammer = 4.0 kg X 1.0 m/s = 4.0 kg x m/s

Calculating Momentum
Which has more momentum: a 3.0-kg sledgehammer swung at 1.5

Does your answer make sense?
The 3.0-kg hammer has more momentum than the 4.0-kg one. This
answer makes sense because the 3.0-kg hammer is swung at a
greater velocity.
