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

"Simple gravity pendulum" model assumes no friction or air resistance. | An animation of a pendulum showing the velocity and acceleration vectors (v and a). | | A pendulum is a weight suspended from a pivot so that it can swing freely.[1] When a pendulum is displaced from its restingequilibrium position‚ it is subject

The Swing ¡§Inviting¡¨ is the word that comes to mind when I look at the painting The Swing. This masterpiece was Jean-Honore Fragonard¡¦s most famous Rococo piece painted in 1766. The most prominent reason I enjoy this painting is because there is some sort of story line or drama unveiling here. The painting is starring Barton de Saint-Julien and his mistress who is swinging on a twiddled vine looped down from a tree and co-starring is an older gentleman who is left back in the shadows as if

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

Z. K. L3 A THE SIMPLE PENDULUM • General Background: A mass m hanging from a string whose length is L and a pivot point on which this mass is fixed are what a simple pendulum (which was discovered during the 10th century by Ibn Yusuf) consists of. During the 17th century‚ it is developed by some physicist‚ especially by Galileo. When the mass hanging from the string is released with an initial angle‚ it starts to move with a periodic motion. The motion can be approximated as a simple

EXPERIMENT No. 2 The Simple Pendulum Abstract A simple pendulum is one which can be considered to be a point mass suspended from a string or rod of negligible mass and allowing it to sway back and forth in a place. The objective of this experiment is to observe the motion of a simple pendulum‚ study simple harmonic motion‚ determine some factors that affect the period of a pendulum‚ and measure the value of acceleration due to gravity by use of a simple pendulum. The materials used were inelastic

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.

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
