POSITION-TIME GRAPHS WORKSHEET #2
AP PHYSICS SUMMER ASSIGNMENT 2016
Name:
Welcome to Dr. Krovvidy’s AP Physics C class. We will be dealing with Mechanics in this course. I will assume that you already have a mastery of Regular Physics, besides being highly proficient in Algebra, Trigonometry and Geometry. You should have already done AB or BC calculus or be registered to take it this year. You need only a basic understanding of calculus. This course is very fast paced and a significant effort is expected of all students and you must work on the problems each and every day to keep pace.
The summer assignment is not graded, but you will have a test on all the topics covered in the first week of school. Use your math and physics books or the handouts on my website for Regular Physics for help. You are free to take help from another student / parent, but do not copy work. You are highly encouraged to seek assistance from me by emailing to me at Sailaja.Krovvidy@. You must also register for Remind. Look for instructions on my website to sign up.

8. Graphical Analysis:
A continually varying force is applied on a cart. The force sensor reads the applied force and a motion sensor measures the acceleration using a lab quest. Friction is NOT negligible and the mass of the cart is unknown. (a) Using the data below, plot a on the Y-axis and F on the X-axis. (b) From the best fit straight line, find a method to estimate the mass of the cart and the force of kinetic friction. (Hint: When is the acceleration zero, even though force is being applied). (c) It is a level ground, estimate the coefficient of kinetic friction. (d) give an equation that determines the relation between the two variables, be sure to include the force of friction in your equation.
