LAB REPORT 06
(a) Finding instantaneous and avg velocity
Apparatus:

• Air track
• Glider

Procedure:

1. Set up the air track on a flat surface, ensuring it is level.


2. Attach the glider to the air track, making sure it is securely fastened.
3. Measure and record the mass of the glider.
4. Measure the length of the air track and divide it into equal segments.
5. Release the glider from one end of the air track.
6. Measure the time taken by the glider to travel each segment using a stopwatch
or timer.
7. Record the distance traveled and the corresponding time for each segment.
8. Repeat steps 5-7 for multiple trials, ensuring consistent results.
9. Calculate the instantaneous velocity of the glider at each segment.
10. Calculate the average velocity of the glider over the entire length of the air track.
11. Plot a graph of distance vs. time and velocity vs. time.
12. Analyze the graph to determine the instantaneous and average velocity.
13. Compare the calculated velocities with the theoretical values.
14. Draw conclusions based on the results, discussing any sources of error.
Observation:
Glider length: 10cm
Sr Instantaneous Time Distance Average
Time(s)
NO. velocity (s) (d) velocity
1 0.23s 43.4cm/s 1.56s 80cm 51.3cm/s
2 0.20s 50cm/s 1.16s 60cm 50.9cm/s
3 0.15s 66.6cm/s 0.75s 40cm 50.3cm/s

Conclusion:
By changing the photogate timer, we can calculate object initial final and velocity at
any instant as well as average velocity just by selecting its different modes. Air track
provides pressure and it provides it that specific speed

Verifying Newtons Second Law
Apparatus:
• Air track
• Glider
Procedure:
• To verify newtons second law using track firstly attach a thread with glider and
attach a mass with it with a pulley at the end.
• It will prove the part a is directly proportional to F.
• Change the mass at the end of thread and measure the velocity by calculating
the initial velocity by setting the photogate timer to gate mode and similarly, final
velocity but turning the face of first sensor to back side
• Divide the time by length of glider
• Calculate the total time to use in acceleration by turning the photogate timer to
pulse mode
• Perform it 3 times by changing mass at the thread side
• In the next part add mass at the glider side and keep the force constant
• Perform this experiment 3 times by changing values at the glider side

2 30x10=300N 200g 67.70cm/s 139.1cm/s 104cm/s
3 40x10=400N 200g 71.9cm/s 155.8cm/s 132.7cm/s
1 40x10=400N 300g 61.76cm/s 131.6cm/s 92.83cm/s
2 40x10=400N 400g 41.15cm/s 75.75cm/s 29.98cm/s
3 40x10=400N 500g 17.39cm/s 34.72cm/s 5.77c m/s

Conclusion:
As we can see that adding force increases the acceleration of the glide and adding
mass on the glider decreases the acceleration. Soo it clearly proves that acceleration
is directly proportional to force and inversely proportional to mass
