ROTATIONAL MOTIONS

Objective: Confirm Newton’s equation of motion For a body that rotates about a fixed axis with uniform acceleration, the angle of rotation φ increases in proportion to the square of the time t. From this proportionality factor ... more

Objective: Determine the moment of inertia of a horizontal rod with additional weights attached The moment of inertia of a body about its axis of rotation depends on the distribution of its weight in relation to the axis. This is to ... more

Objective: Determine the moment of inertia for various test bodies. A body’s moment of inertia around an axis of rotation depends on how the mass of the object is distributed with respect to the axis. This will be investigated for ... more

Objective: Confirm the conservation of energy with the help of Maxwell’s wheel Maxwell’s wheel is suspended from threads at both ends of its axle in such a way that it can roll along the threads. In the course of its motion, ... more
