Course: PHYS202 Section: _______________________________ Name: Richard Keitz Instructor Name: Abul Faiz Ishaq __________________________________________________________________________ Title : Experiment: Uniform Circular Motion __________________________________________________________________________ Abstract : __________________________________________________________________________ Introduction: __________________________________________________________________________ Methods: __________________________________________________________________________ Results: The Purpose of this experiment was to determine the Coefficient of static friction( ? ) of a simulated Ladybug and Fly on a spinning disc and determine whether ? remained constant as the respective bugs radius ( ? ) increased. I proposed the hypothesis that as the radius ( ? ) increased that the angular speed ( ? ) would need to decrease to keep the bug on the disc as well as that ? would remain constant as the radius increased. To ensure my data remained as accurate as possible I repeated the experiment multiple times at each radius additionally measuring as accurately as possible with the simulation ruler as well. Uncertainty was however introduced since the simulator is pretty small and measurements rely on the naked eye observing a small, simulated ruler. Because of this it was difficult to get the radius precisely correct. Additionally, the angular speed accuracy was +/- 0.1m/s 2 Given the ladybug data below: Ladybug Radius Angular Speed (radians/s) Static Coefficient of Friction 1.00 62.60 399.87 2.00 44.20 398.70 2.50 39.70 399.87 3.00 36.00 402.06 3.50 33.40 396.73 Mean μ s = 399.45
The data illustrates no significant deviation in the Static Coefficient of Friction over the radius changes and the scatter of data that I had found surrounding the mean was within expected margins of error at . 69% variation at the maximum Fly Radius Angular Speed (radians/s) Static Coefficient of Friction Mean μs = 1.00 62.10 393.51 397.36 2.00 44.20 398.70 397.36 2.50 39.50 398.02 397.36 3.00 36.00 396.73 397.36 3.50 33.40 399.87 397.36 Mean μ s = 397.36
