Experiment

This experiment investigates the relationship between the angle theta and angular velocity by measuring the time it takes a metal sphere attached to a rotating rod to make 10 rotations at different set angles. The apparatus includes a metal sphere, metal rod, stand, and light gates. The angle theta is the independent variable and is varied using a rotating device while keeping the mass and motor constant. The dependent variable, angular velocity, is calculated by timing rotations and plotted against the cosine of theta divided by the square of angular velocity to analyze the relationship. Safety precautions like a protective screen are used in case the mass detaches from the pole during rotation.

Experiment on Angular Velocity

investigate relationship between theta and angular velocity


Apparatus:
metal sphere, metal rod, stand, light gates
Method
Set up apparatus for different angles and same power source to measure time between
rotations for different angles of theta. Attach pole to a rotating device. We can use stop
watch to time a number of rotations We will take time atleast 10 rotations. Measure angles
using protractor.
We will Plot a graph of cos θ against 1/ω 2.
Safety methods

We should Use a protective screen in case mass detaches from the pole.
Control variables

Mass of metal sphere


Motor
independent variable
Frequency or period of rotation
dependent variable
θ
