Answer all question in lab and of possible to data table instead of hand written maybe a link to a spreadsheet of the data of not hand written if perfectly fine. Also in finest picture is a link to help get the data
Instructions: For this lab you will use a simulation provided by Phet. You will play around and answer inquiry-based questions. Go to: https:/phet.colorado.edw/en/simulation/masses-and-springs Purpose During this lab we will conduct experiments to discover what variables the period of a spring pendulum is dependent upon Period: How long it takes for the spring to make one full cycle. One full cycle can be if it starts at the highest point, h highest point again. ntro Procedure - Go to the Intro part of the simulation and set it up as shown to the figure on the Natural Length right. Movable Line For a spring to experience simple harmonic motion the experiment may be dependent upon four factors, mass of object, spring constant Gravity and gravity. Lots Spring Constant - How stiff or loose a spring is position Amplitude - How much the spring is pulled down from the equilibrium Earth amping = 0 Make a hypothesis upon how you think each of these factors will affect the period of motion. If they have no effect, direct effect, or an inversive effect. (6 points) No Effect - Changing this variable will have no effect on the period of motion Direct Effect - Changing this variable will increase the period of motion fect - Changing this carriable will decrease the period of motion Mass: Spring Constant:_ Amplitude: Gravity: Changing one variable at a time create a data table with at least 2 trials to discover how each factor of the Period of the spring pendulum will have no effect, direct effect, or an inversive effect . For this first experiment a data chart will be set up for you, but for every other lab you should create the data Data for Spring Constant (10 points) chart on your own. You do not need to label the actual number for the spring constant, but make sure to label which ones had the highest to lowest spring constant in relation to one another) - When conducting these experiments, I would suggest using things like slow motion, forward, and pause to help collect data (shown on the right). 00:00.00 Data for Amplitude of Oscillating Object (10 points) Normal Slow Amplitude Trial 1 (Period) Trial 2 (Period) Average (Period) 10 cm 20 cm 30 cm According to your data, what is the affect for the Amplitude of the object in relation to its period? What is the affect for the spring constant in relation to its period? Data for Mass of Oscillating Object (10 points) Data for Gravity (10 points) What is the affect for the mass of the object in relation to its period? What is the affect for the Gravity in relation to its period
