Rocket SledderGetting ReadyNavigate to the Rocket Sledder Interactive at the Launch Interactive button. Resize the Interactive as desired.Directions: Explore the options and variables available for the rocket sled interactive. List the forces you see in the interactive in the space below____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Use the Interactive to explore the following questions:2. With Friction and Air Drag turned off, describe the effect that an applied force has upon the velocity? ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Label the force diagram below using Fapp for Applied force, Fnorm for Normal force from the ground, and Fgrav for the Weight of the sled.Force DiagramWith the sled still in motion, turn off the jets. The jets can be turned off by positioning the Fapp cursor in the middle (see diagram example). Horizontal forces should still be turned off.Describe the motion of rocket sled after the applied force (jets) is turned off with no horizontal forces. Also draw the force diagram at the right. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________3. Now stop the rocket sled. What do you have to do to stop a rightward moving rocket sled?(Reloading the page doesn't count as a method.)____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________4. Draw the force diagram for a rightward-moving rocket sled that is slowing down to a stop. Use the labels Ffrict for Friction force and Fair for Air Drag Force.Force DiagramAssessment:Consider the force diagrams below for five different situations.1. Which object(s) could be moving to the right at a constant speed?2. Which object(s) could be moving to the right and speeding up?3. Which object(s) could be moving to the right and slowing down?4. Which object(s) could be moving to the left and slowing down?5. Which object(s) could be moving to the right? ................
