    pendulum

    The pendulum shows elastic collision and conserved momentum. In this set up‚ no momentum is actually lost. Ball 0 just transfers its momentum to stationary ball 1 which it collides with(head-on collision) so ball 0 is put to stop then ball 1 collides with ball 2 causing ball 1 to stop and transfer its momentum to ball 2 and so on until the momentum gets transferred to ball 4 then ball 3 collides with ball 2 and the cycle continues.

    Simple Pendulum Experiment In this experiment you will make a simple pendulum consisting of a plumb bob and a piece of string anchored at two points. By attaching the string to two points the normal precession that would occur will be eliminated. [pic]   Items to be turned in as report: 1) all discussion question answers (be thorough) 2) graph of period squared versus length 3) simple data tables of collected data 4) graphical analysis answers 5) using your values for g‚ calculate

    Lab:Measurement Error (Bounds) Purpose The purpose of this experiment was to understand and recognize that errors do occur when doing experiments and making measurements. With this lab we had to understand how to analyze the data using measurement bounds. Theory: In this experiment we were to find the density of the wood we are measuring by using the method of upper bound and lower bound. Density is a physical property of matter. Every element and compound has its very own unique density

    Kater’s Pendulum Thomas Markovich and Kapil Chhabria Departments of Physics University of Houston Houston‚ TX 77204-5006 (Dated: December 9‚ 2010) We experimentally determined the local gravitational constant using Kater’s Pendulum to provide the authors with experience in data analysis. In this manuscript‚ we rigorously derive the relevant equations from first principles with the appropriate expressions for the experimental uncertainty. We found that by assuming the periods were equal we were

    Percent Error occurs due to many factors. In this lab by the graph I can state that there was a 100% error in all three unknown substances‚ Pure Leaf Lemon Tea‚ Sprite‚ and Tree Ripe Lemonade. This could be a result of not having properly zeroed the scale or the scale glitching when it came to zeroing it‚ which would have added extra mass and skewed the results. Another factor that could have resulted in a high percent error would have been the scale itself glitching which would have caused the wrong

    Goals The purpose of the lab experiment is to explore simple harmonic motion (SHM). We will accomplish this through the validation of harmonic calculations and ultimately creating a time piece (oscillator) Method In part A (Simple Pendulum) we will measure the effects of mass on the period of the pendulum. We will also calculate the period using small angular displacements and compare the results. We will also explore the effects on the period when the angular displacement is not “very small”

    • 3 Pages

    Simple Pendulum PURPOSE The purpose of this experiment is to study how the period of a pendulum depends on length‚ mass‚ and amplitude of the swing. THEORY A simple pendulum is an idealized model consisting of a point mass (sometimes called a pendulum bob) suspended by a massless unstretchable string. When the bob is pulled to one side of its straight down equilibrium position and released‚ it oscillates about the equilibrium position. The path of the bob is not a straight line but an arc

    Random Error There were many sources of random errors that could be a factor involved in the variation of the group’s results. Randoms errors are human errors‚ they can affect the results gathered and contribute to reading errors and flaws within human reflexes. · Size of the liver cubes: As the liver cubes needed to be cut by each individual group‚ the sizes between the groups may have varied. The required size for the lamb liver cubes was 1cm3 ‚ however the task of cutting the liver into all

    Physics PENDULUM INVESTIGATION Aim of the investigation The aim of the pendulum investigation is to see what will happen if I change a variable whilst I swing a pendulum and see the effect which it has on the pendulums time to complete one whole swing (from where it starts‚ to the opposite end‚ and back again). This will give me an insight into what will effect the time of the swinging of the pendulum‚ be it weight‚ string length‚ the angle‚ or the swinging point. Planning my investigation

    Lab Report Compound Pendulum in different medium Raoul Corstjens IS10a Introduction An oscillating object is a mass that follows a pattern that causes the mass to return to its initial position after completing one complete oscillation in a constant certain amount of time. This experiment aims to show how the medium that a simple pendulum is traveling though affects the frequency of the pendulum. Research Question How does the medium that a simple pendulum is traveling though affect the frequency
