EXPERIMENT 2 Measurement of g: Use of a 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

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

Physics Investigation: What factors affect the period of a pendulum? By Tanya Waqanika In this investigation‚ I will be looking at which factors affect the period (The time for one complete cycle‚ a left swing and a right swing) of a pendulum (a weight that dangles from a pivot so that it can swing freely). I will do this by tying a metal bob to a length of spring and dropping it from a certain height and measuring the time it takes to complete an oscillation‚ changing a variable for each of

Is gravity always 9.8m/s2?? INTRODUCTION: A simple pendulum consists of a mass m swinging back and forth along a circular arc at the end of a string of negligible mass. A pendulum is a weight suspended from a pivot so that it can swing freely. Gravity is the pull that two bodies of mass exert on one another. There are several simple experiments that will allow you to calculate the acceleration due to gravity of a falling object. A simple pendulum can determine this acceleration. The only variables

.:First experiment:. .Problem: How will the length of a pendulum affect the amount of swings per minute? .Hypothesis: I believe that the length of the pendulum will affect the amount of swings per minute because when the string is shorter in length‚ there would be less friction between the string and the atmosphere‚ causing the string to go faster. .Materials: * String ( should be 70-90 cm long) * Metal washers * Stopwatch * Metric ruler * Stand * Extra washers (You will

Aim What is the effect of differing pendulum length on its period? Hypothesis If the length of the pendulum is decreased‚ the period will decrease. Variables Independent: The length of the pendulum (cm) Dependent: The period of the pendulum (s) Controlled: The weight of the swinging mass The angle for maximum displacement Materials: Pendulum (can be as simple as a mass tied to string attached to a piece of cardboard) Retort stand and clamp Stopwatch Ruler Protractor Masking tape

the time period of a pendulum Aim: To investigate the factors affecting the time period of a pendulum. Introduction: The time period of a pendulum is the time taken for the pendulum to swing from the first position‚ A‚ through positions B and C and back to position A again. [pic] Many factors can affect the time period of the pendulum. These factors are: length of string‚ angle from which the pendulum is dropped‚ the air resistance and the weight of the pendulum. In this experiment I

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
