Abstract A pendulum was constructed and altered with differing weights‚ swing lengths‚ and pendulum lengths. The period for each variation was recorded and compared to find the factors that affected the length of the period. It was concluded that the length of the pendulum was the determining factor for the period of the swing. Introduction In 1581‚ Galileo began studying at the University of Pisa‚ where his father hoped he would study medicine. While at the University of Pisa‚ Galileo

Acceleration Due to Gravity Conducted on October 6th‚ 2014 Objective: The object of the experiment is to determine whether or not objects fall freely at the same rate and speed. Measure and calculate the time in which it takes random objects to hit the ground from a certain height and determine if the objects have the same rate of motion or not. Materials: 1. Meter Stick 2. Stopwatch 3. Wallet 4. Quarter 5. Tape 6. Hot sauce packet from Chinese food delivery 7. Container of wipes

Laboratory Report : Experiment One Title: Determination of the acceleration due to gravity with a simple pendulum Introduction and Theory: A simple pendulum performs simple harmonic motion‚ i.e. its periodic motion is defined by an acceleration that is proportional to its displacement and directed towards the centre of motion. It can be shown that the period T of the swinging pendulum is proportional to the square root of the length l of the pendulum: T2= (4π2l)/g with T the period in

Title Experiment with a spiral spring (Oscillation) Objective 1. To show how the time of vertical oscillation depends on the load 2. To determine the spring constant 3. To determine the effective mass of the spring Introduction In this experiment‚ it is to show how the time of vertical oscillation depends on the load‚ to determine the spring constant and to determine the effective mass of the spring. An ideal spring is remarkable in the sense that

EXPERIMENT NO-1 AIM- To determine the frequency of A. C. mains by using an electric vibrator. APPARATUS- Electric vibrator‚ table lamp‚ pulley‚ weight box‚ fishing cord‚ a. c. source. THEORY- when a cord of mass per unit length m is connected to the vibrating rod of the vibrator and stretched with a tension T‚ the cord vibrators in segments. If the length of the cord is then adjusted until the nodes are clearly marked‚ the frequency of the stretched string is the same as of the vibrating rod which

trolley to move. Stopwatch- this is how we will measure the dependant variable (time). Method Firstly we prepared our equipment for the first ‘run’. This involved fixating the ramp to a stable height. We also had to ensure that there were minimal blemishes/bumps on the ramp. We also checked to see that the timer was working and that we knew how to start and stop it. We then proceeded to let the trolley ‘roll’ down the ramp with no weights on top. We then repeated this 3 times (to provide

length of a simple pendulum affects the time for a complete swing Theory When the pendulum is at the top of its swing it is momentarily stationary. It has zero kinetic energy and maximum gravitational potential energy. As the pendulum falls the potential energy is transferred to kinetic energy. The speed increases as the pendulum falls and reaches a maximum at the bottom of the swing. Here the speed and kinetic energy are a maximum‚ and the potential energy is a minimum. As the pendulum rises the kinetic
