    Ballistic Pendulum Lab Objective: Determine the velocity of the projectile as it reaches the pendulum. Hypothesis: Firstly‚ we guess that the outcome of the velocity of the projectile is 6.3 meters per second [left].The formulas we use to find the final velocity of the projectile are Trigonometry‚ Kinetic and Potential Energy‚ and Momentum. Mass of the pendulum = 80.0g Mass of the ball = 7.64g Length of the string = 21cm Equipment: Ballistic pendulum device Metal

    the four objects listed above move in similar ways? If so‚ which ones? What do they have in common? Yes‚ the ball and the jump both move in similar ways. Due to the acceleration to be constant for both. The pendulum and the spring move also in the same way‚ the difference is that the pendulum encountered

    Pendulum From Wikipedia‚ the free encyclopedia For other uses‚ see Pendulum (disambiguation). "Simple gravity pendulum" model assumes no friction or air resistance. A pendulum is a weight suspended from a pivot so that it can swing freely.[1] When a pendulum is displaced sideways from its resting equilibrium position‚ it is subject to a restoring force due to gravity that will accelerate it back toward the equilibrium position. When released‚ the restoring force combined with the pendulum’s mass

    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

    Introduction In this lab we had to design a system that would test if changing the mass‚ angle of release and length would have any effect on the period of a pendulum. Hypothesis As the length‚ mass and angle of release change‚ the period (T) will change for each one of these factors. Materials Lab stand Protractor Cardboard Fishing line Stopwatch Weights Hook for weights Tape Ruler Weighing scale Logger Pro Variables Independent Angle of release Dependent Period Length

    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.
