In this lab we are trying to find if there is a relationship between the factors that will affect the angular acceleration of a system,
This is what the lab set up looked like.
We attached a string around the pulley and on the other side of the string was a mass.
The results of the experiment from the first run. We plotted the velocity against time, and by taking the slope, we would get the acceleration.
This is the v(t) graph for the first trial run.
This is v(t) graph when we doubled the weight
This is the v(t) graph with triple the starting amount of weight.
This is what happens when the size of the torque of the pulley is changed.
These are the actual values we received from doing the experiment.
From the above graphs, clearly there is a correlation between the acceleration of the system and the weight of the mass. As seen above, when the mass is doubled, the acceleration roughy doubled. Same for when it tripled. All in all, I believe this was a successful lab.
