Lab 5:

1. Procedure I.1
The measured mass of the puck is ...

2. Procedure I.5
The mass of the hunger is...

3. Procedure I.5
The total hunging mass is ...

4. The data for calculating acceleration will be from the following video of a simulation.

The height from which the hanging mass was dropped is...

5. Using the stop watch of your phone or your watch measure the time taken by the hanging mass to fall to the ground. (You might want to measure the time taken for 5 falls and then divide by 5)
The time taken for the hanging mass to fall to the ground is closer to...

6. Since it started from rest, the dropping height is related to the dropping time by height = 0.5(acceleration)(time)2 Therefore the acceleration can be calculated from acceleration = 2(height)/(time)2

Procedure I.10
The acceleration of the puck as it slides on the air table is...

7. Procedure I.11
The coefficient of friction between the puck and the air table as obtained from the accelerated motion is ...

8. (Skip Procedure I.12 & I.13) Procedure II.1
The sliding mass (the puck and the additional msss) is ...

9. Watch the following video of a simulation to determine the hanging mass that gets the puck to slide.

Procedure II.2
The hanging mass that makes the puck to to just slide is...

10. Procedure II.3
The coefficient of friction between the puck and the air table obtained from the uniform motion is...

11. Procedure II.4
The percentage error between the coefficient of friction obtained from accelerated motion and that obtained from uniform motion is...
