Rotational Inertia of a Thin Rod
Determine the rotational inertia of a thin rod about an axis through center. Use the Parallel Axis Theorem to determine the rotational inertia...
Rotational Inertia of a Point Mass
Determine the rotational inertia of a point mass about a perpendicular axis through center of the circle of rotation. The rotational inertia...
Centripetal Force
Determine how the centripetal force depends on angular velocity, mass, and radius by measuring the force directly with a force sensor.
Conservation of Momentum in Two Dimensions
A ball rolls down a ramp and collides with a second stationary ball. Confirm that momentum is conserved for elastic collisions in two dimensions.
Conservation of Energy of Ball on Ramp
Verify that potential energy is converted to kinetic energy as a ball rolls down a ramp. The kinetic energy includes translational and rotational...
Projectile Motion Using a Ball Ramp
Determine the velocity of a ball at the bottom of the ball ramp by measuring where it hits the floor. Verify that result by measuring the velocity...
