Function

Intended for experimental study, physics laboratory, natural science laboratory, conducting physics experiments and conducting natural science experiments on: Physics. Kinematics. Reference frame, position, motion and trajectory. What is meant by a moving object. The trajectory and displacement. The difference between displacement and distance traveled. The Cartesian reference system in the plane, orthogonal Cartesian plane. The quadrants. The coordinates of any point on the plane containing the orthogonal Cartesian system. Differences between scalar and vector quantities. Dynamics. Friction forces and Newton's first law of motion. The friction force and the nature of surfaces in contact. Friction forces between surfaces of different natures that are in contact. The friction force, the apparent area and the real area of contact of the surfaces. The kinetic friction force. Coefficients of static friction and coefficient of kinetic sliding friction. Statics. The equilibrium of a moving object on an inclined plane. The experimental determination of the mechanical advantage of the inclined plane. Motion in one dimension, scalar kinematics, trajectory, distance traveled, initial and final position, uniform rectilinear motion (MRU), velocity, displacements in one dimension, meeting of two objects in MRU with opposite directions on the same trajectory, etc.
