SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on urgent assistance for an AP Physics B homework assignment involving the measurement of forces using two spring scales at various angles. The participant seeks help in calculating vector components using the formulas F_x = F * cos(θ) for horizontal and F_y = F * sin(θ) for vertical components. The provided measurements include force readings at angles ranging from 15 to 120 degrees. The conversation emphasizes the importance of clearly stating questions and attempts to facilitate effective assistance.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of vector components in physics
  • Familiarity with trigonometric functions (sine and cosine)
  • Basic knowledge of AP Physics B curriculum
  • Experience with using spring scales for force measurement
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the principles of vector decomposition in physics
  • Learn how to apply trigonometric functions in physics problems
  • Explore the concept of force measurement using spring scales
  • Review the AP Physics B curriculum for lab experiments and calculations
USEFUL FOR

Students enrolled in AP Physics B, educators teaching physics concepts, and anyone needing assistance with vector calculations and force measurements in physics labs.

I'm working on a crucial huge assignment, and I was wondering if anyone experienced in physics could talk to me one on one asap please? It's beginner AP Physics B homework.
Thank you so much for your help.
My lab is the first AP Physics lab we've gotten.
We have two spring scales measuring a mass and we are to measure the force on the scales as the angle of it increases. The question is titled:
4. Mathematically find all the vector componenets nd confirm your calculated data with your scale reading

The measurements are:
15 degrees - 5 N
30 degrees- 5 N
45 degrees- 5.1 N
60 degrees- 5.5 N
75 degrees - 5.6 N
90 degrees- 6.5 N
105- 7.5 N
120 degrees - 9 N

Yes, I can assist you, but where is the question? Without that, this thread is considered to be removed. Remember to indicate the questions AND the attempts. This way, I or we are able to help you.

Thank you!

I am assuming that the given values for the component is above the horizontal of the +x direction.

For each problem, use these formulas:

F_x = F * cos(θ) [horizontal]
F_y = F * sin(θ) [vertical]

That is just for part 4.

Im sorry, but could you go into a little more depth about what you mean there?
In my graph, x is force and y is the angle
and how do i know what θ is?

θ stands for the angle. That is all I can say. y is the same as θ.

Maybe, you should include more info for your questions.

Otherwise, find the components, using this form:

F_x = F * cos(θ) [horizontal component]
F_y = F * sin(θ) [vertical component (That is the distance between the starting point to the top.)]
