Sadie D. Hood Lab 8: Moment of Inertia Partner: Florence Doval Due 16 November 2011 Aims: To use a centripetal force apparatus to calculate the moment of inertia of rotating weights‚ using theories derived from ideas of energy transfer (Im = MR2 (g/2h)(t2-t02)) and point mass appoximation (m1r12 + m2r22). Set Up Procedure First we measured the weights of two masses and wingnuts that secure them. Then we placed one of the masses on the very end of a horizontal rod on the centripetal force apparatus

Moment of Inertia 1. Abstract The goal of this study is to understand the transfer of potential energy to kinetic energy of rotation and kinetic energy of translation. The moment of inertia of the cross arm my group measured with the conservation of energy equation is: 0.01044 kg/m2 (with the mass of 15g)‚ 0.01055 kg/m2 (with the mass of 30g)‚ which is kind of similar to the standard magnitude of the moment of inertia of the cross arm: 0.0095 kg/m2 (Gotten by measuring the radius and the mass

biological parents never took the time to sit down and help me with my reading. Throughout my younger years I was reluctant to go to school because I would get teased by my classmates. Reading was not always one of my favorite things to do‚ but one book changed it all. The first day of fourth grade in a new school rolled around; I was absolutely petrified. I just knew I was going to get made fun of for not being able to read as well as them. I walked in with the principal and introduced myself; “Hi‚ I’m
