Regents Physics Constant Velocity/ Acceleration Lab 10-3-13 Problem: Graphical Analysis of Constant Velocity and Accelerated Motion. Theory: Gravitational acceleration is constant on Earth g=9.8m/s2 Therefore‚ when the golf ball is dropped‚ the acceleration will be equal to gravitational acceleration agb=9.8m/s2 Given there is no air resistance‚ this means that when the golf ball is dropped from a given distance‚ according to the formulas‚ the golf ball will accelerate

Pendulum Raiyan Hassan SPH3U September 20‚ 2011 Introduction A pendulum is a device which consists of a mass attached to a string from a frictionless pivot which allows it to swing back and forth. In this experiment‚ the time it takes for a pendulum to go through a period is going to be measured. The time it takes for a pendulum to go through one period can depend on factors such as the length of the string‚ mass‚ or the degree in which the pendulum is released from (amplitude). In this

Experiment 1.7: Graphical Analysis of Motion Introduction To graphically analyze motion‚ two graphs are commonly used: Displacement vs. Time and Velocity vs. Time. These two graphs provide significant information about motion including distance/displacement‚ speed/velocity‚ and acceleration. The displacement and acceleration of a moving body can be obtained from its Velocity vs. Time graph by respectively finding the area and the slope of the graph. Data Tables – Part I Displacement

II Uniform Circular Motion A. Nomenclature 1. Speed – magnitude of an objects rate of motion (no direction‚ scalar quantity) 2. Velocity – speed and direction of an objects motion (vector‚ mag & direction) 3. If a car’s speed is constant but direction is changing‚ velocity is changing. 4. 2 ways to change velocity (change speed or change direction). 5. acceleration – change in speed over time (vector quantity) TWO types; a. Linear acceleration – speed

I will be demonstrating the law in which connects the period of the pendulum‚ expressed as T‚ to the length of the string‚ expressed a L. The system the lab will be based on will include a pendulum with a weight of W suspended at a fixed point by the string with a variable length of L and an angle theta to be measured using a protractor. The variable T will be measured as the period of time needed for the weight of the pendulum to swing back and forth once. For part 1 of the lab‚ we will be measure

simple pendulum OBJECTIVE: To measure the acceleration due to gravity using a simple pendulum. Textbook reference: pp10-15 INTRODUCTION: Many things in nature wiggle in a periodic fashion. That is‚ they vibrate. One such example is a simple pendulum. If we suspend a mass at the end of a piece of string‚ we have a simple pendulum. Here‚ the to and fro motion represents a periodic motion used in times past to control the motion of grandfather and cuckoo clocks. Such oscillatory motion is called

Foucault’s Pendulum In 1851‚ a French physicist named Jean-Bernard-Leon Foucault suspended an iron ball with a radius of approximately 0.5 feet from the ceiling of the Pantheon in Paris with a wire that was over 200 feet long. The ball was used as a pendulum‚ and it could swing more than 12 feet back and forth. Beneath the ball he placed a circular ring with sand on top of it. Attached to the bottom of the ball was a pin‚ which scraped away the sand in its path each time the ball went by. To get
