ACTION AND REACTION

Post lab six (6) here. Please make sure that you include a detailed conclusion that answers all of the questions given in the lab directions:

  1. Which direction did the Rod move when it was released.?
  2. What force was acting on the rod?
  3. Which direction did the cart move when released?
  4. What force was acting on the cart?
  5. Was your hypothesis correct.
  6. Does a slingshot follow Newton's 3rd Law?

Objective:
Every actions has a reaction.

Hypothesis:
The rod will fly away from the cart.

Materials Used:
-Rod
-Cart
-Rubber band

Procedure:
Start off by finding an open area. Then place the rubber band on the cart. Put the rod in the rubber band then let it go in see what it does. Do this at least four to five times.

Data:
1.The cart in the rod moved forward.
2.The rod moved forward in the cart didn't move
3. The rod flew away from the cart.
4.The rod moved forward and the cart moved back.

Conclusion:
Once again my hypothesis was right.I knew the rod was going to fly away from the cart. The rod had no support. So every action does have a reaction. Lab seven showed it all.

Object: To see whether if every action has and reaction.

Hypothesis: I believe that if pulling on both the rod and the cart it’s more likely for the rod to fly off the rub band if in a sling shot motion. I believe that this will happen because rub bands are more surging.

Procedure:
1. Place the hall’s cart on the table.
2. Then we pull a piece of string on the paperclip, and took it and hook it to the end of the steel to the end of the cart.
3. Then we pull the rod into a sling shut and let go.
4. We repeat is lab five times.

Data:

1. The cart move back when let go of the hall’s cart in sling shut motion.
2. When let go of the hall’s cart the rod move off the rub band and the hall’s cart stay in the same place as stared.
3. The or just flew off the cart.
4. The cart stayed in the same place while the rod flew on the floor.
Materials Used:
-Rod
-Cart
-Rubber band
Conclusion: Yes my hypothesis was correct, the reason why it was correct because I could just look at rod and seen what we had to do and I new that the rod was going to fly right off. In the experiment I really would not change nothing because every thing seen to go right while do this lab. In this lab I learn that the more force you put in an object more like it would fly off. I believe this can be used in every day by someone using a car for a car seat.

While do this experiment the direction the rod when in was string .The force that the rod act on I believe was when I released the rod I believe it was a force of. Newton’s second law. No this did not go with Newton third law because Newton third law go’s in and opposite direction.

Lab report EXPERIMENT 7

Objective: To identify if the slingshot was apart of Newton’s 3rd Law.

Hypothesis: I think that the steel rod might fly at a fast speed which directs to some where. The cart might push back giving it a reaction from the steel rod.

Materials:
1.)Steel Rod
2.)Hall’s Cart
3.)Paper clip
4.)Rubber band

Procedure:
1.)Find an open area on smooth floor or smooth surface as in table.
2.)Attach one end of the rubber band to the hole in the front of the cart with a piece of string or a paper clip. Hook one end of the steel rod into the other end of the cart.
3.)Pull the steel rod back in the “slingshot” until there is good tension on the rubber band. Then hold the cart and rod in place with one hand.
4.)Release both the cart and rod at the same time as you let go. Repeat several times, stretching the rubber band the same amount each time.


Trial 1: The cart stayed still, the steel rod went flying.
Trial 2: No Motion
Trial 3: The cart moved backwards and the steel rod moved in a forward direction.
Trial 4: No motion with the cart, but the steel rod moved forward (flying).
Trial 5: Cart moved forward direction, and the steel rod moved backwards.
Trial 6: Cart moved backwards, and steel rod moved faster than trial 1, 3, 4.
Trial 7: Steel rod moved forward (fast) and rolled off the table. The cart moved in the same direction as the rod but not onto the floor.

Equation:
F= m∙a

Conclusion: My hypothesis was correct, because the steel rod was flying away from the Hall’s Cart. Sometimes the cart moved but not with the same speed with the steel rod. The direction that the steel rod moved was forward. Sometimes the cart went backwards or forward.

Objective: To identify if the slingshot was apart of Newton’s 3rd Law.

Hypothesis: I believe that both the cart and the rod will amove in different directions.

Materials:
1.)Steel Rod
2.)Hall’s Cart
3.)Paper clip
4.)Rubber band

Procedure:
1.)Find an open area on smooth floor or smooth surface as in table.
2.)Attach one end of the rubber band to the hole in the front of the cart with a piece of string or a paper clip. Hook one end of the steel rod into the other end of the cart.

4.)Release both the cart and rod at the same time as you let go. Repeat several times, stretching the rubber band the same amount each time.


Trial 1: The cart rolled backward as the rod was propelled forward.

Trial 2: The cart rolled backward as the rod was propelled forward.

Trial 3:The cart rolled backward as the rod was propelled forward.

Trial 4:The cart rolled backward as the rod was propelled forward.
Trial 5: The cart rolled backward as the rod was propelled forward.

Conclusion: As the data reads my hypothesis was correct. The rod was trusted forward as it was released form the rubberband. the rubberband was the force applied on the rod.The cart rooled backward. The force that was created to thrust the rod had a back wind. Yes A Slingshot follows Newton's 3rd Law.

Trial 4:The cart rolled backward as the rod went forward.

Trial 5: The cart rolled backward as the rod went forward.

Conclusion:
My hypothesis was proven to be correct from when i had stated that the force from the rubberband will cause both the steel rod and hall's cart to go in different directions.

4.)Rubber band

Procedure:
1.)Find an open area on smooth floor or smooth surface as in table.
2.)Attach one end of the rubber band to the hole in the front of the cart with a piece of string or a paper clip. Hook one end of the steel rod into the other end of the cart.
3.)Pull the steel rod back in the “slingshot” until there is good tension on the rubber band. Then hold the cart and rod in place with one hand.
4.)Release both the cart and rod at the same time as you let go. Repeat several times, stretching the rubber band the same amount each time.


Trial 1: The cart rolled backward as the rod was propelled forward.

Trial 2: The cart rolled backward as the rod was propelled forward.

Trial 3:The cart rolled backward as the rod was propelled forward.

Trial 4:The cart rolled backward as the rod was propelled forward.

Trial 5: The cart rolled backward as the rod was propelled forward.


Conclusion: As seen in the experiment i was correct with my hypothesis. That's because when we were forcing to rod to sling from the rubber band, it caused the cart to roll back from the force.

Objective: For every action there's is an equal and opposite reaction.

Hypothesis: I believe that the cart will roll backward and the rod will shot out forward because it will have an opposite reaction then the cart.

Materials Used:
1.)Steel Rod
2.)Hall’s Cart
3.)Paper clip
4.)Rubber band

Procedure:
1.) Find an open area on the floor.
2.) Attack one end of the rubber
band to the hole in the front
of the cart with a piece of
string or a paperclip. Hook
one end of the steel rod into
the other end of the cart.
3.) Pull the steel rob back in
the "sling shot" until there
is good tension on the rubber
band. Then hold the cart and
rod in place with one hand.
4.) Release both the cart and the
rod at the same time as you
let go. Repeat several times
strecthing the rubber band the
same amount each time.

Data:
Trail 1: the cart rolled back and
the rod shot forward.
Trail 2: Cart did not move and the
rod did not go as far as
the first time.
Trail 3: The cart move backward a
litte and so did the rod
moving forward.
Trail 4: The cart rolled backward
and the rod shot forward.
Trial 5: The cart rolled back and
the rod shot forward.

Conclusion: The rod shot forward making the cart roll back which was caused by the acceleration in the rubber band. The mass of it's acceleration is what made the cart roll backward. My hypothesis came out to be correct because I know that some how the rubber band action a upon the rob and the cart would make the cart go the opposite direction. The sling shot has show to follow newton's third law. We can use this in our real world life when you sit in a chair because as you sit down the force comes from the chair and the cahir force comes upward from your body. I learned how we apply these this toward our everyday lifes without us really knowing. Things I could have done to make it wok out all the time is took my time to and repeat my step slowly.
