ExperimentsMECHANICSThe following experiments can be performed as a reinforcement for the material being taught in class.They may also be used as make up experiments for students who are absent on lab day.Constant VelocityBuggy/Buggy collision: Two vehicles headed toward one another, both traveling at different constant speeds.Constant AccelerationBuggy/Fancart collision: Two vehicles heading toward one another, one is traveling at a constant velocity and one is traveling with a constant acceleration.Projectile MotionMarble Launcher: A marble launcher is fired and a target location, as well as a ring, will be are to be determined so the marble will go through the ring on its way to landing in the target box.
Net Force - Determine the relationship between net force and acceleration as well as net force and mass.
