Good Afternoon ! • Have out your homework, journal, Science Book, and pen/pencil! • Analysis #1-Act. 85 • Crash Testing Dummy Drawing completed
Analysis #1:The crash test dummy that is most often used in frontal crash tests is the Hybrid III dummy…. The advantages are: high quality, reliable source,averageperson,safety uses The disadvantages are: expensive,last for a few years, only based on average person, not sure if parts are environmental friendly
Objective • Students will be able to determine the relationship between the center of mass and stability of vehicles.
Activity 86:Investigating Center of Mass • Date: 3/21/12 • Challenge Question: • Getting Started: What is the center of mass?
Center of Mass: The center of gravity, the point at the center of an object’s distribution of mass.
Pre-lab • 1. Stability • Center of Mass • Rollover
Introduction pg. E-58 • Write your definitions for your pre-lab in your own words.
Build Background • Stability The center of the mass falls within the area of an object’s base of support, an object will not topple(fall). In a car the base support is the area immediately under the four tires. If a car takes a turn or swerves in such a way that the center of the mass is outside the rectangular base inscribed by the tires, it will roll over.
Materials/Procedure pg. E-59 • Copy data table into your notebook • Read steps #3-7 • Turn to pg. E-60 read steps #8-11 • Getter: get materials • Spokesperson: write down data • Procedure Captain: read the steps in the procedure to your group • Facilitator/Getter : Test out the activity, follow the procedure
Activity 86 • Follow the steps in the procedure • Copy your results in your data table • Put all materials away when finished
