Lab Learning Goals:
Students will be able to explain how the mass of an object is determined using spring balances, use the spring balance to determine the mass of an unknown object find the gravity on Planet X and describe their experiment
Directions:
Investigate how the simulation works by “mousing around.” Then, use the tools to determine the masses of the three unmarked cylinders.
You will turn in a report that has 4 parts.
Make a data table that includes information that you used to determine the mass of the unknowns. Record the determined masses in the table as well.
Write a procedure that another student could follow to verify your results. The procedure should be in paragraph form.
Write a paragraph that explains your reasoning for the procedure design.
Find the gravity on Planet X and describe how you determined it.
