Force Experiments

Having the opportunity to do actual experiments and understand how to convert and how force work is a unique opportunity and I feel very fortunate to have experienced it. In the activity involving Force we learned about Newton’s law  that states that F=m*a ; a=v/t; v=d/t. What this means is that F= power level is greater it increases the acceleration. It also means that when greater the mass slower acceleration, well depending on the power level, and if mass is changes, faster will be the acceleration. We did this by taking little weights, a bar and the lego brain which made us get the results obtained.

With my partner, Angelica and I tried to do the 35 power level the weight was to much for the power level we had to increase it to 40. We did different experiments and below you could see the outcome. There is on that doesn’t make sense and we believe is because of an incorrect measurement.

Here we can see that when greater is the mass greater will be the energy or the power that is used. The power level sets the force implied – power is the amount of work done divided by time. With this project we also learned that energy can never be created or destroyed, just converted
