Calculating The Force of Friction

0

In this experiment we were able to calculate both the force and coefficient of static and kinetic friction using horizontal and inclined planes. Using force meters which were attached to computer equipment, the force of friction was easily measured and displayed in graphical form. In the following lab report our methods and conclusions are detailed.

Applications of Momentum in Every Day Life

28

According to the Principle of Conservation of Momentum, the expulsion of hot gases through the rear of rockets or air crafts will produce a large momentum in the opposite direction. The forward thrust of a jet engine enables the aircraft to move forward while the upthrust of a rocket engine enables the rocket to propel upwards..
