OBJECT:
The objective of this lab is to obtain the spring constant by using the simple harmonic motion of the spring-mass system. Once the spring constant is obtained it is to be compared to the spring constant obtained by Hooke’s Law.
PROCEDURE:
1) Using a meter stick measure the distance from the attached point of the spring to the end of the spring, at this time there is to be no mass on the spring. Once this measurement is obtained the elongations can be calculated by subtracting the new measurements from this first measurement.
2) Add a weight to the spring and record the distance. The new distance is to be subtracted from the first distance.
3) Using the same weight pull the mass down an additional 20cm. Once the spring is elongated it is to be let go. When the spring is released from it’s elongated position the stopwatch is started. Once the spring has returned to it’s original starting position 25 times the timer is to be stopped and the time is recorded. Once two times are taken for every weight increment they are to be averaged together.
4) Steps 2 and 3 are to be repeated eight times using a new weight each time.
5) When all eight trials are done the spring is to be weighed and recorded.
SAMPLE CALCULATIONS
Mass used in each trial, in kilograms:
- 50 g / 1000 g = 0.05 kg

2. A test tube was then filled with 35ml of yeast and placed in the
On the container, the researchers wrote down their first initial, last name and lab section. The researchers then poured spring water into the cylindrical container about halfway and then set it aside. Next, the researchers transferred the Planarian using a small plastic pipette into an empty petri dish filled with just enough water for the Planarian to swim around freely. After the successful transfer into the petri dish The researchers then measured how long the Planarian was using the unit millimeters.
The step test was conducted in the lab room. The first participant measured her pulse rate for 30 seconds before starting the exercise. Her pulse rate was calculated to determine the number of beats per minute. She then stepped on the platform (up and down) and continued at a...
8. Repeat from step 4 twice more so you end up with three results for
4) The mass will be the first variable we manipulate. We will use the three smaller marbles of the four provided marbles. Do two trials for each marble and stop the stopwatch when the marble hits the spring. This will give us the time to calculate speed later.
I am going to carry out an experiment to measure the change in mass of
Bear in mind the amplitude cannot be larger than the extension caused. by the smallest mass applied to the spring as this would not allow the
In the experiment these materials were used in the following ways. A piece of Veneer wood was used as the surface to pull the object over. Placed on top of this was a rectangular wood block weighing 0.148-kg (1.45 N/ 9.80 m/s/s). A string was attached to the wood block and then a loop was made at the end of the string so a Newton scale could be attached to determine the force. The block was placed on the Veneer and drug for about 0.6 m at a constant speed to determine the force needed to pull the block at a constant speed. The force was read off of the Newton scale, this was difficult because the scale was in motion pulling the object. To increase the mass weights were placed on the top of the ...
Results: The experiments required the starting, ending, and total times of each run number. To keep the units for time similar, seconds were used. An example of how to convert minutes to seconds is: 2 "minutes" x "60 seconds" /"1 minute" ="120" "seconds" (+ number of seconds past the minute mark)

In order to produce this experiment, you began by setting up the angles at which the spring gun would launch the metal ball onto the ground to measure its distance. The spring gun was placed, ideally, at table
The file labeled “Newton’s 2nd Law” is to be opened. The cart’s mass along with the attachment of the sensor and the accelerometer are to be measured and recorded. Being carefully verified in order, the track is leveled and the Force Sensor is set to 10N and connected to...
In chapter 18, we will apply work and energy method to solve planar motion problems involving force, velocity, and displacement. But first it will be necessary to develop a means of
• The experimental equipment is set to output 1000 points of displacement and side force. The computer capture rate is set to 50Hz and a total run time of 20sec
