Title of the Experiment: Newton’s Second Law
Student’s name:
Section SLN: PHY 113
TA’s Name:
Week of the experiment:
, OBJECTIVE(S) (3 points):
The objective of this lab is to verify Newton’s Second Law of motion. This will be done by
measuring the acceleration of gravity. Additionally, another objective is to apply Newton’s
Second Law to systems of masses.
EXPERIMENTAL DATA (3 points):
Part 1: One way motion without friction.
Run 1:
Slope of the velocity vs time graph and its uncertainty (extra 200 g is on the cart; m1=
450, m2 = 50): 0.9768 +/- 0.0009464 m/s2
Run 2:
Slope of the velocity vs time graph and its uncertainty (extra 300 g is on the cart; m1 =
550, m2 = 50): 0.814 +/- 0.0007038 m/s2
Part 2: One way motion with friction.
