Use this space to take notes about the simulator. Activity 2: Explore the effect of force on acceleration (frictionless) Now that you've had the opportunity to explore the simulator, let's see if you can figure out the relationship between the total applied force and the acceleration of an object. Prediction: What effect will increasing force have on an object's acceleration? Start by turning off friction Select an object for Jose to push. Register the mass of the object. Have Jose push the object with different magnitudes of force, record the acceleration of the object for each force. Calculate the ratio of force and mass (force : mass) Table 1: Results of Activity 2 Object mass (kg) Maintain this constant Total Strength (N) Acceleration (m / s2) Table 1: Resultado de la Actividad 2 Mass of the object (kg,) | Total force (N) |Acceleration (m/s2) F Keep constant m What did you notice about the magnitude of the acceleration and the ratio of force and mass?Try writing a rule to describe the relationship between force mass and acceleration. Activity 3: Explore the effect of force on acceleration (with friction) Repeat the experiment of activity 2, but this time the friction is activated. Will you be able to use the rule you developed in activity 2? How will the added friction change your results? Table 2: Result of Activity 3 Mass of the object(kg) |Total Strength (N) |Acceleration (m/s2) Keep constant How did the results of activity 3 compare with the results of activity 2?Can you explain the relationship between the force applied to an object, the mass of an object, and the acceleration of the object? Activity 4: Using what you have learned - Now let's see if you can apply what you've learned. Some of the cells in the following table have been left blank Predict what the answer should be, then use the simulation to find out if you were right Total streng Mass(kg) Acceleration Response N Response to (m/s prediction simulation 200 10 ? 500 20 ? ? 50 10 ? 100 15 250 ? 5 1000 20 150 15 ? 250 25 What do you now understand about the relationship between Force, Mass and Acceleration
