Lego Mindstorm Experiment

 

A) Overview

In today’s lab, my friend, Yoshi and I made a program like above to investigate the uses of different formulas or laws

B) Formulas and laws

The following are some formulas and laws we had used in today’s lab.

-Newton’s Second law = Force = mass * acceleration (F=ma)

-Law of conservation of energy = Law which states energy cannot be created or destroyed, but may be changed from one form to another.

-Velocity and acceleration = velocity (speed and direction of an object) ; acceleration (the rate at which the velocity of a body changes with time)

-Power = the rate which work is performed or energy is converted

-Potential energy = mass*gravity*height (P.E.= mgh)

D) Results analyzing

-When the mass increases, the acceleration decreases.

-When the power increases, the acceleration increases.

-When power level increases, the power increases.

-When matter increases, battery damage increases
