Newton's 2nd Law activities starting 3/11/19
1. Do "Prelab and Atwood Machine Lab - online version - Pick one machine or the other (2 graphs total). Use the simulations here: Atwood Machine (note, you will have to hit "pause" before the block hits the bottom to get the acceleration and "reset" in between trials), Modified Atwood Machine
*REMEMBER You are collecting 2 sets of data. (1) acceleration vs net force (net force = (m2-m1)g for the atwood machine and net force = (hanging mass)g for the modified atwood machine). For this graph you need to choose your masses so the total mass (m1 + m2) is a constant. (2) acceleration vs total mass where you must make sure that you keep the net force constant when you are picking your numbers. Use the sheet with the 5 graph shapes to linearize your graphs if necessary.

2. Do Elevator Mini Lab - Formative Assessment (Newton's 2nd Law), link to simulation is here - due next class, finish as homework
***USING JAVA APPLETS:

If the applet won't load, copy the URL.
Go to the icon at the bottom left of the Windows screen, click and open the "Control Panel" and then open "Java" (this can take a few seconds to open, so wait.) Go to the "Security" tab. Click "Edit Site List" and then "Add" in the new window. Paste in the URL and then click "OK" and "OK" on the next window. Close Internet Explorer and reopen the web page. You will get two Java notices. In "Java Update Needed", choose "Later." In "Security Warning," choose "Run."
