         Result

 Below shown the finishing and final product oh the Handicapped Walker With Remote Control 

EXPERIMENT 1: Smooth Surface and Rugged Surface

This experiment is to determining the motion of the Handicapped Walker With Remote Control on the smooth surface and rugged surface. According to Boye (2008), rolling resistance sometimes called rolling friction or rolling drag, is the resistance that occurs when a round object such as a wheel on a flat surface. The rolling resistance is the force that resists the rolling of a wheel or other circular object along a surface caused by deformations in the object and surface Additional contributing sources include surface adhesion and relative micro-sliding between the surfaces of contact. It depends very much on the material of the wheel or tire and the sort of ground. In this experiment, the movement of Handicapped Walker With Remote Control is testing on the mosaic. This walker has two wheels and two castors which the material of Handicapped Walker With Remote Control wheel and castor is made of rubbers. Below shown a human control the motion of the Handicapped Walker With Remote Control in manually the picture after that are shown the motion of the Handicapped Walker With Remote Control is control by remote control on the smooth and rugged surface which the  motion of Handicapped Walker With Remote Control is testing in linear condition. From the observation, when contacting surfaces move relative to each other, the friction between the two surfaces converts kinetic energy into thermal energy, or heat and the Handicapped Walker With Remote Control can move in normal condition and wheels and castors of the Handicapped Walker With Remote Control is not spin on the mosaic.

EXPERIMENT 2: Hilly road (uphill)

This experiment is to determine the ability the Handicapped Walker With Remote Control move on hilly road. Generally, if we consider the rotation as being about the center of mass of the object, then the frictional force must be in a direction to provide the torque necessary to decrease or increase the angular velocity, depending on whether the object is accelerating or decelerating, respectively.  Note that the friction can be in the direction of motion (rolling downhill) or opposite to it (rolling uphill). In this experiment, to testing the ability of Handicapped Walker With Remote Control, a human press the switch to climb the hill (uphill).From the observation, the Handicapped Walker With Remote Control has ability to uphill which it can move in stable condition. Figure 5.7 are shown the result of this experiment.
