Robot Activity Part II

Gravity is a key element that allows us to run, stand or dance without difficulties. Gravity allows us to stay in land without floating upwards. “Discovered” developed by Isaac Newton he came up with laws and theories that makes it easier for us to understand it. He came up with the concept of inertia meaning that an immobile object will stay immobile and a mobile object will keep moving unless it get disrupted by something.

During the class we conducted an experiment, which exposed us to the laws of Newton.We were given a Lego robot, with a ruler measured in centimeters that had to be converted in meters, and weights that were measured in grams. The Lego robot had a tower that held a string with a whole where we can hook the weights. The computer system allowed us to adjust the power of our desire and also allowed us to adjust the mass. We did a total of 10 trials throughout the experiment. One set, we were instructed to remain the mass constant which made the acceleration change with the adjustment of power or (force). During our second set, our power or (force) remained constant, we had to adjust the mass for every trial and the acceleration was determined.

We needed to measure the initial height of the bottom to the pulley which was 37 centimeters, (.37 meters). With the product of heigh, acceleration gravity, and mass, we were allowed to find out the potential energy for each trial experiment.

0002-e1455071630635-1024x502

FORCE at .18:

0001-2-e1455071948724-1024x202

0002-e1455072037138-1024x539

In conclusion this experiment was successful as it proved the relationship between mass, force, and acceleration proving that Newton was right.
