| The Ballistic Pendulum | Determining the initial speed of a projectile | | | | | THE BALLISTIC PENDULUM ABSTRACT The experiment was carried out to determine the initial speed of a projectile: i) by means of a ballistic pendulum. ii) by measurements of the range and vertical distance of fall during its flight. The initial speed for the ballistic pendulum was found to be 5.0551±0.0008m/s and the initial speed for the pendulum was found to be 4.72±0.02 m/s. INTRODUCTION:

Simple Pendulum Experiment In this experiment you will make a simple pendulum consisting of a plumb bob and a piece of string anchored at two points. By attaching the string to two points the normal precession that would occur will be eliminated. [pic] Items to be turned in as report: 1) all discussion question answers (be thorough) 2) graph of period squared versus length 3) simple data tables of collected data 4) graphical analysis answers 5) using your values for g‚ calculate

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

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

She isn’t a very good man! Andy Fickman’s She’s the Man did indeed hit the fan. In this film review I will be going to talk to you about the relevance of the film to teenagers‚ the quality of film techniques and the quality of actor performances. I will also be talking about Shakespeare intent for the original play‚ and how is this achieved in the adaption of "She’s the man". The social‚ moral of ethical message conveyed

What Factors Affect the Period of a Pendulum? Introduction In this experiment‚ my group will find out what are the factors that affect the period of a pendulum. In this report‚ I will personally explain the aim of the experiment‚ the hypothesis of my group‚ the variables‚ the apparatus‚ method‚ data‚ data analysis‚ evaluation and last but not least the conclusion. Aim To find out whether the heavy or light pendulum will affect the period as well as the string’s length Hypothesis
