ROTATIONAL MOTIONS

Objective: Confirm Newton’s equation of motionFor 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 it is possible ... 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 be investigated ... 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 a dumbbell ... 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
