Friction

Design and Practice / Lab report

Introduction:
Friction is a force which opposes the sliding motion of one object over the surface of another object.

In this lab report it was investigated that, the Kinetic and Static friction force between a steel plank and other materials i.e. Aluminium, Brass, Nylon, Steel. In procedure 1, it was attempted to find the relationship between the friction force and the normal force on the block, as it slid along the steel plank, friction occurs and we the coefficient of kinetic friction was calculated between the two surfaces.

In procedure 2 , the surface area on contact between the block and the plank was calculated,which affected the friction force.

In procedure 3 , a load was added to the hanger, until the tray gave a slight push and slowly slides up the plane.
Aim:
-To investigate the relationship between the angle of friction of various material on steel plane and the force required parallel to an inclined plane .
Apparatus:
-Adjustable stainless steel plane complete with base.

-Cord and 0.5 N load hanger + weights.

Theory:

-Trays with liners : brass, aluminium, nylon and steel.
The experimental setup is shown as follows :
A : Pulley
B : Angle Adjustment
C : Smooth Stainless Steel Plane
D : Hanger
E : Feet Adjustment
F : Lined Trays

We used a hanging mass to exert a force on the block. The hanging mass was connected to the block using string draped over a

  • Anterior Capsular Elbow Injury Case Study

    1340 Words  | 6 Pages

    Brachialis or Anterior Capsular Elbow Strain With Rehab Brachialis or anterior capsular elbow strain is also known as climber’s elbow. The brachialis muscle is important for flexing the forearm at the elbow joint. This condition occurs when the brachialis muscle in your upper arm is inflamed or when you have a strain in the front of your upper arm (anterior compartment). This condition causes pain in the front of the elbow. This condition is usually an overuse injury that at first causes minimal pain, and slowly progresses.

    Introduction For two days, on the 14th and 15th of April, a field excursion to Hastings Point, New South Wales was conducted. At Hastings Point, topography, abiotic factors and organism distribution were measured and recorded, with the aim of drawing links between the abiotic factors of two ecosystems (rocky shore and sand dunes), the organisms which live in them, and the adaptations they have developed to cope with these conditions. Within these two ecosystems, multiple zones were identified and recorded, and this report also aims to identify the factors and organisms associated with each zone. Lastly, using data and observations from the past, predictions for the future of the rock pool ecosystem were made.

  • Sliding Friction In Baseball

    Baseball is a perfect example for the use of friction. There’s sliding friction which is a force that resists the motion of an object moving across a surface. Without any force acting, the sliding friction will make an object come to a halt. An example of sliding friction in baseball is while running, players can slide onto the plates. Another form of friction used in baseball is static friction which keeps an object at rest from moving.

    This in turn does not add a greater gravitational pull downward due to the greater level of mass. Which means that the string has added tension, which pulls the cart faster in table number 2. How does the acceleration in Data Table 3 compare with that of Data Table 1? Why do we observe this difference?

    When winter 's kiss seals the waters, the puzzle in finding where the fish have gone does not change much. However, the approach does, and if you are waiting in your fish house with tip-ups and hoping the action will start, you could have a long winter ahead of you, without much for fish. Dave Genz, a Minnesota angler who has pioneered certain strategies has offered some of his expert tips on ice fishing. Did you know that you do not have to drill a hole in the ice to shoot sonar signal and find the fish? While this is possible with clear ice, you cannot use this tactic when snow covers the ice.

    The measured tensions were normalized relative to the maximum tension and the lengths were normalized relative to the length at which maximum force was generated (Ln = 29 mm). The measured data and expected data were plotted together (Figure 3). Correlation between measured and expected tensions at the same normalized lengths was determined for the three expected segments of the length-tension relationship.2,3,4 This was done using piecewise linear regression and yielded r2isometric = 0.956033. The fitted curve for the isotonic experiment resulted in r2isotonic = 0.960557. The F0 was 19.5 N for the fit and 6.35 N for the guess.

  • Paper Towel Lab Report

    Utilizing the method that the experimenters have come up with, the procedure isolates the variable being tested, which is the paper towel brand. By not changing other aspects of the procedure, other factors have a lower chance of affecting the accurate results of the answer to the main question. Additionally, the method is a quick and simple experiment, causing no use of excessive time than the provided duration. Within the first minutes of the experiment, the experimenters and the advisor realized that the method did not really provide accurate results due to merely estimating the numbers without the use of a graduated cylinder. Changing that aspect of the procedure by using a graduated cylinder to measure the amounts of water instead helped

Then we were to classify each type of solid as either ionic, metallic, non-polar molecular, polar molecular, or network. Paraffin wax classified as a non-polar molecular, Silicon dioxide was classifies as a network, Sodium chloride was classified as ionic, Sucrose was classified as polar molecular and Tin was classified as metallic. (2)The intermolecular forces that are present in Paraffin wax are dispersion forces, because it is non-polar and carries a negative charge. Followed by Sucrose that has

    Abstract The purpose of carrying out this experiment was to investigate the phenomenon of Newtons’s Rings, to gain a better understanding of the theory Newton developed as well as to calculate the radius of curvature of a plano-convex lens and the thickness of a section of optical fibre. The effect is named after Isaac Newton who first studied it in 1717. The pattern observed appears as a series of concentric bright and dark fringes, which has its centre at the point of contact between two surfaces.
