Purpose of Pulley Lab
The Purpose of the Pulley Lab is to be able to build a simple machine and know about how force can support different masses. Also, the lab showed us about the relationship between force and distance.
Big Questions for Pulley Lab
1. Force can be manipulated by changing the amount of mass that the pulley system is supporting.
2. The relationship that I observed between force and distance is the more force means less distance.
Graph/Pulley System
My group and I used a whiteboard to make three graphs and put our data on it. We tested different kind of pulley systems with different amounts of strings to see how much force (N) was needed to move a certain distance. We concluded that more force = less distance. My group and I used the LabQuest 2 to find the amount of force that we were applying on the pulley system.
How Pulley Lab Connects to Real World
The Pulley Lab connects to the real world in many ways. One example is
when using a weight machine. The person using the machine chooses the
mass that they want to lift and a certain amount of force is needed to
lift the weight up. This is an example of a pulley system.
