Forces in Everyday Life (Week 7)
Model or Topic Explored: You will create a demonstration of either the free particle (sum
of the forces is equal to zero) or constant force particle (sum of the forces is equal to
mass x acceleration). You have several different options to choose from to create a
scenario, or you may develop one of your own to look at the force balance.

Observables:
IO Lab Unit
IO Lab Unit slides down a flat surface that was slanted with friction pads on.
Tape attached to various objects (e.g. books).
Constants:
Friction Force
Flat surface of object selected
Velocity
N = W, T = f
Measureables:
Weight of IO Lab unit, friction between object and surface, frictional constant of objects,
and normal force acting on the IO Lab unit.
Problem Statement: How are friction force and velocity related?
Prediction: I predict that velocity will decrease as the friction force constant increases.
PHYS 1010 – page 1
Experiment:
Procedure (list of steps with some detail):
Test 1
- I slid the IO lab unit (using the friction pads) down the table at an angle
- Determining how friction force affected velocity and the ultimate outcome.
Test 2
- I slid the IO lab unit down the table at an angle
- Two books were attached to each end of the IO lab unit with some tape
- See how the effects on friction force and velocity changed when adding the two
books into the mix
