Contributions-Dilay Gedik-Project 2-Table10

 

Dilay Geedik contributions for the project 2 car powered mousetrap and falling weight- table 10.

I was responsible for the car models, physics equations derivations, computational model, uncertainty calculations and I contributed to the slides.

-          In this project, I made the code of the computational model (loops, graphs, physical equations, some visual representations, etc.)

-          I have made a list of the physics models that needs to be in the code and how they should be implemented (place in the code and the format of the code).

-          I have come up with the equations of the velocities from energy conversations and find ways to implement it into the code. To write them as a function of time, I did more video analysis to find: the height of the mass as a function of time, spring unwind acceleration and rate values.

-          I have come up with the energy loss equation as a linear function of velocity for the velocity equation and energy tracking.

-          I’ve tried to have my code as organized as possible so that it would be easier to find mistakes and add missing things which is done by my teammate Jordan.

-          I have used the values from the labs in the class and used them to derive equations which is used in the code.

-          I caded the first version of the car then realized the mistakes and then finalize the model. Throughout the finalizing process I have worked with other groups as well.

-          I have made the weight power one axel and the mousetrap power the other one and for that I’ve tried to model the car in a way that it would have center of mass as close to the center of the car as possible so the car would have a consistent displacement and route, and wouldn’t be wobbly.

-          I have measured the string, so it goes up to 1 meter and tried to be precise with it as much as possible. I have put a break on the mousetrap part of the car so the final displacement would be as small as possible.

-          I took videos of the car in motion and calculated the uncertainties.

-          I finalized the slideshows by adding the missing physics equations, uncertainties, and cad designs.
