Lab 7: Moments of Inertia Group Members: Joe Vlassakis, Amir Crump Goals: The Goal of this lab is to become familiar with how inertia affects your ability to change the direction of rotation of an object while using Newton’s 2nd law of rotational motion. Procedure: To start the experiment both of us grab the barbells placed on the lab tables and proceed to hold them out facing each other and begin to move the barbell back and forth in a twisting motion, then measure out to find the r or the radius and do it for both barbells. For part 2 we set up the rotational motion sensor, hung a 5-gram disk off of the sensor and created a graph on Pasco labeled for angular velocity vs time. Once you have set up the second part of the experiment you start the sensor and record the increase in angular velocity, once you have recorded the data for the outer radius position to the inner radius position collect all your data and plug the data into a table and answer the remaining questions Error and Precaution: The cause for error during the experiment could have come from miscalculation because one rounding error could be cause incorrect values Results:
