Laboratory 6 Goal: The goal of this experiment is to deepen our understanding of rotational motion and the components of rotational motion in real life events. Experiment 1 Time it takes to complete 5 rotations: - 6.18s Distance from the shoulder to the elbow: - 0.29 meters Distance from the shoulder to the middle of the hand: - 0.58 meters Motion of the hand: How far in degrees did the hand travel during the five rotations? - 1800 degrees How far in radians did the hand travel during the five rotations? - 31.42 radians How far in meters did the hand travel during the five rotations? - 18.22 meters What was the average angular speed (deg/s and rad/s) of the hand? - 5.08 rad/s - 291.26 * /s What was the average linear speed (m/s) of the hand? - 2.94 m/s What was the average angular acceleration (deg/s 2 and rad/s 2 ) of the hang? How do you know? - 0.822 rad/s 2 - 47.13 deg/s 2 What was the average centripetal acceleration (m/ s 2 ) of the hand? - 14.9 m/s 2 Motion of the elbow: How far in degrees did the hand travel during the five rotations? - 1800 * How far in radians did the hand travel during the five rotations? - 31.42 radians How far in meters did the hand travel during the five rotations? - 9.11 meters What was the average angular speed (deg/s and rad/s) of the hand? - 5.08 rad/s - 291.26 What was the average linear speed (m/s) of the hand?
- 1.47 m/s What was the average angular acceleration (deg/s 2 and rad/s 2 ) of the hang? How do you know? - 0.82 m/s 2 - 47.13 */s 2 What was the average centripetal acceleration (m/ s 2 ) of the hand? - 5.06 m/s 2 Which quantities are different and which quantities are the same for the hand and the elbow? - The degrees, radians, average angular speed, and average angular acceleration are the same measurements for both the hand and elbow. The rest of the measurements were different for the hand and the elbow. Exploration Describe the direction of those arrows, while the angular speed of the wheel is increasing, constant, or decreasing? - When the angular speed is constant the arrows stay perpendicular. When the angular speed decreases the arrow becomes smaller. When the angular speed is increasing the arrow becomes perpendicular. Set the applied force equal to 1.5 N. Click Go let the simulation run for approximately 10 seconds. What is the magnitude and direction of the torque on the wheel? - The magnitude of the torque is 6 Newton meters, and the direction of the torque is perpendicular to the circle. What happens to the ladybug? - The ladybug originally stays in the same place, eventually flying off the circle. What provides the centripetal force to keep the bug moving in a circle? - The friction and force keep the bug moving on the circle. Why does this eventually fail? - Eventually the force of the torque is greater, and the friction can no longer increase. Click reset All, and set the force to 0.5 N. Observe the acceleration vector after you click Go. How does it change? - The vector, acceleration vector, increases and the vector increases in magnitude. Will the acceleration vector ever point directly to the center? Why or why not? - Yes the acceleration vector points directly to the center and stays pointing in the center. Click reset All, and set the force to 0.5 N Approximately 5 second after you click Go set the brake force to approximately 1 N. What happens to the acceleration vector? - The acceleration vector decreases in magnitude and moves away from the center of the circle. Moment of Inertia Lab
