Document Content and Description Below

Introduction: The moment of inertia of a stiff body is a quantity that determines the torque needed for a desired angular acceleration about a rotating axis; energy in rotational motion is kinetic ... due to the rotation of an object and is part of its total kinetic energy. Objectives: The objective of this lab is to: ● Explore the rotational motion of rigid bodies with respect to angular position and angular velocity at a constant angular acceleration ● Evaluate the relation of those angular quantities to the linear position and linear velocity in a system with a bound motion including translational and rotational motion ● Experimentally determine the moment of inertia of an object and compare to the calculated one ● And demonstrate the the conservation of energy in a system involving a rotational motion Background: Rod mass: 620.3 g Square weight mass: 277.9 g Hanger Mass: 50 g Given Weight Mass: 50 g Disk Mass: 1441.1 g Disk radius: 11.5 cm [Show More]
