Prac Report – Investigating Parachutes Experiment Aim: To measure how the size of a parachute t’s surface area affects the parachute’s speed‚ acceleration and time of flight. Hypothesis: A parachute with a larger surface area would fall slower due to that fact there would be a higher level of drag‚ or in other words more air resistance. Materials: * Sturdy garbage bags * Metric ruler * Scissors * Washers * Twist ties * Light-weight string * Stopwatch Method:

ROTATIONAL KINEMATICS Reference Book: Properties of Matter – Dr. Tofazzal Hossain MOMENT OF INERTIA: According to Newton’s first law of motion‚ “a body must continue in its state of rest or of uniform motion along a straight line‚ unless acted upon by an external force.” This inertness or inability of a body to change by itself its position of rest or of uniform motion is called inertia. Exactly in the same manner‚ in case of rotational motion‚ also we find that‚ a body free to rotate

velocity and its moment of inertia. Just as a moving object’s inertial mass is a measure of its resistance to linear acceleration‚ a rotating object’s moment of inertia is a measure of its resistance to angular acceleration."2 Factors which effect a rotating object’s moment of inertia are its mass and on the distribution of the objects mass about the axis of rotation. A small object with a mass concentrated very close to its axis of rotation will have a small moment of inertia and it will be fairly easy

physical stress was evaluated with myoelectricity‚ the musculoskeletal moment of the operator and the operator’s feelings during the experimental motion. As a result‚ we found that the physical stress tended to decline with the decrease of virtual inertia and virtual Coulomb friction‚ and to increase slightly with the decrease of virtual gravitational moment. The decrease of virtual viscous friction made the physical stress increase gradually after it declined to a trough during the positive virtual

Questions: 1. Using the data you have gathered and your knowledge of the law of conservation of angular momentum‚ explain the results for the angular momentum data column. - The angular momentum of a rigid object is defined as the product of the moment of inertia and the angular velocity. All parts of the isolated system were held constant. Since there was no external torque on the object‚ the angular momentum could not have changed. 2. Find line or curve of best fit. What is the constant for this graph?

of the Atwood machine. Once the acceleration was obtained‚ we used it to find the angular acceleration or alpha (2.12 rad/s^2) and moment of force(torque) of the Atwood machine‚ in which then we were finally able to calculate the moment of inertia for the Atwood machine. In comparing rotational dynamics and linear dynamics to vector dynamics‚ it varied in the fact that linear dynamics happens only in one direction‚ while rotational dynamics happens in many different directions‚ while
