The Addition and Resolution of Vectors: The Force Table TLSAMP 2005
Group Members • Jazmon Malone • Christian Mallet • Kristen Williams • Janna Lipford • Rhonda Laird
Objective • To analyze different methods of vector addition.
Hypothesis • We believe that the sum of two vectors is not equal to the sum of their magnitude.
Materials • Three Weights • Calibrator • Thread • Force Table • Scissors • Calculator • Pulleys • Washer
Methods • Collected all materials • Make all pulleys parallel to the force table • Next you will cut the thread and attach it to each weight • Attach each weight to the washer • After attaching each weight to the washer, place one weight on 30 degrees and the other weight on 120 degrees. • With the remainder weight you will attempt to balance the washer. • When the washer is balanced you will record the degree and the weight that it took to balance the other two weights
Methods (Continued) • The weight is the magnitude of the resultant force , and degree is 180 degrees different from the direction of the resultant force • Input your results into the following formula • Record your results on a table. • Repeat this experiment three more times. • Compare the results and come to a conclusion
Hypothesis Testing • Ho: Theoretical Force = Empirical Force • Ha: Theoretical Force is not equal to the Empirical Force • By using the Paired t-Test we found that the p-value is equal to 0.157964475 • The p-value is less than 0.05 , so we failed to reject the null hypothesis.
Conclusion Our Empirical Result supports the theoretical result . The theoretical result is the sum of the forces and magnitude.
