    Introduction: The study of the ballistic pendulum began with Benjamin Robins in the early 1700 ’s. Robins was an English mathematician and writer on ballistics‚ and used this testing apparatus for the evaluation of the strength of gunpowder and the measurement of air resistance (Calvert‚ 2006). At the time of the American Revolution a loyalist named Benjamin Thompson also utilized and expanded the use to the ballistic pendulum. He further evaluated the efficiency of gunpowder. He fired from

    Method/Pendulum Exercise Worksheet 1. What is the difference between an observation and an inference? Observations are based on collecting knowledge through our senses. An inference is making an educated guess based on observation. 2. In doing science‚ why are hypotheses either supported or not supported‚ but never proved beyond all doubt? There are many other factors that could be unknown and new data could be found in the future to support or not support a hypothesis. 3. For this pendulum exercise

    is to study the period of the pendulum with different masses. Secondly to also study the relationship in the different lengths of the string and how it affects the period. Thirdly to find the different (time) periods in the changes in the arc size. Theory If the pendulum is set ‚ the force of the motion is used to swing back and forth . where the t period is the time the pendulum takes to complete a cycle of oscillation. As t-1/f the complete distance of the pendulum and its mass is finished ‚ the

    CENTRIPETAL FORCE ON A PENDULUM OBJECTIVE To measure centripetal force exerted on a pendulum using the force sensor bob and in so doing compare this value determined by force calculations based on the height of the pendulum. THEORY Newton’s laws of motion are the basis for this experiment. Newton’s first law of motion states that a body in motion will remain in motion unless acted upon by an external force. Newton’s second law of motion states that the rate of momentum of a body is dependent on

    Pendulum Problems ACTIVITY 1: Copy and paste the example problem and the steps‚ so that the steps are in the correct order into a new Word document and upload it to Moodle. Example Problem 1: A hypnotist swings her watch from 20.0cm chain in front of a subject’s eyes. What is the period of the swing of the watch. Thus‚ we see that the pendulum used by the hypnotist has a period of 0.898s. | Before we can use this formula‚ however‚ we must ensure all our variables are in the correct units.

    Using a Pendulum to Determine g Aim: To determine the rate of acceleration due to gravity using the motion of a pendulum. Hypothesis: The numerical g value measured on earth is estimated to be 9.8 ms-2 Apparatus: * Retort Stand * Boss head and clamp * Approximately 1 metre of string * 50g mass carrier or pendulum bob * Stopwatch * Metre ruler Theory: When a simple pendulum swings with a small angle‚ the mass on the end performs a good approximation of the back-and-forth

    How a Pendulum Works Isaac Olson Mitch Koebnick‚ Kyle Orr 13 September 2013 A Period Purpose There are three purposes of this experiment. The first purpose is to determine the relationship of the period and the amplitude of the pendulum. The second purpose is to determine the relationship of the period and the mass of the pendulum. The final‚ but most certainly not the least‚ purpose of this experiment is to determine the relationship of the period and the length of the pendulum. Procedure
