    Shanise Hawes 04/04/2012 Simple Harmonic Motion Lab Introduction: In this two part lab we sought out to demonstrate simple harmonic motion by observing the behavior of a spring. For the first part we needed to observe the motion or oscillation of a spring in order to find k‚ the spring constant; which is commonly described as how stiff the spring is. Using the equation Fs=-kx or‚ Fs=mg=kx; where Fs is the force of the spring‚ mg represents mass times gravity‚ and kx is the spring constant

    Simple Harmonic Motion Ethan Albers Case Western Reserve University‚ Department of Physics Cleveland‚ OH 44106 Abstract: In this lab‚ my partner and I observed oscillations that were translational and rotational. The two forms we studied must have a form of a restoring force that is proportional to the displacement of the object from its point of equilibrium. This produces the harmonic motion which this lab wants. At small and big amplitudes we measured/observed the translational oscillation

    The Introduction Abstract Through examining the simple harmonic motion of a mass hanging on a spring‚ three investigations were conducted in the experiment. The experiments include the relation between the period in oscillations and mass‚ and figuring out if the period vs. mass graph should go through the origin and lastly‚ finding the mass needed to create a one second timer. It was investigated by placing a motion detector under a spring that was attached to a clamp which was attached to a retort

    [pic] Laboratory 1 Simple Pendulum Motion By Ryan Williams Foundation Degree Mechanical Engineering Introduction In Mechanics and Physics‚ simple harmonic motion (SHM) is a periodic motion that is neither driven on damped by external forces. An object in simple harmonic motion experiences a net force which relates to Hooke’s law. Hooke’s law states “Force is directly proportional to the displacement from the equilibrium position and acts

    Simple Harmonic Motion Lab Report In this lab‚ I will study the principles of simple harmonic motion using an oscillating pendulum. If I were to design an experiment that would help me study the properties of an oscillating pendulum and investigate what causes a pendulum to swing faster or slower‚ I would prepare several masses (e.g. 20g‚ 50g‚ 100g‚ 200g‚ etc.) that can be attached to a string‚ several strings of varying lengths from 0.1m to 1.0m that are strong enough to support the weight of the

    CURTIN UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY DEPARTMENT OF APPLIED PHYSICS Physical Measurement 201 DRIVEN HARMONIC OSCILLATOR Abstract The purpose of this experiment is to investigate the various aspects of harmonic motion using a Driven Harmonic Motion Analyser (DHMA). The aspects that are investigated in this experiment is the spring constant k of two springs‚ the resonant frequency‚ the damping factor‚ and the relationship between phase and resonant frequency. The value of k of the first

    Damped Harmonic Motion Erica Partner: Steven November 8‚ 2012 Abstract During this experiment‚ the effects that the size of an object had on air resistance were observed and determined. To do this‚ a spring was set up with a circular object hanging at the end. After the spring constant of 9.0312 N/m was measured‚ equations were used to determine a calculated frequency‚ that being 7.252 Hz. Four trials—each with a different sized‚ same massed object—took place where the object was pulled

    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

    Mariel 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

    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”
