SkateBoard Lab:
Purpose: The purpose of this Laboratory assessment was to learn how inertia carries something moving continually. We used a set force of Newtons and started the board moving with that force. We were able to see how inertia kept the board moving until it was acted upon by another force.
Procedure: 4 People in a group. 1 person on the skateboard. 1 person pulls. 1 person times the experiment, and the final person switches places with the person with on the board. Measure distance, time, force (N), and weight of person on Skateboard.
Error Analysis: Error in this laboratory assessment includes, the constant force, the time measured, as well as the distance the person on the skateboard moved. The constant force could not be constant completely, because the puller person could not keep a constant force on the measuring device. The time, is due to human error of when to start and end the time. The distance the person on the skateboard moved might not have been straight.
John: As a conclusion, this laboratory assessment was a good way to learn and understand Newton's Laws. Force is a tricky subject to wrap your head around, and this assignment was a great way to understand force.
