Title: Uniform Circular Motion Group 33: Van Tran, Elyse Gallagher, Shrenik Patel Experiment Date: October 10th, 2023 Goals: The goal of today’s lab is to observe the circular rotation of a cube on a turntable, and see the centripetal force that is acting upon it. We will first test the hypothesis that static friction is the source of the centripetal force, and aim to understand the concepts of tangential velocity and central acceleration. Procedure: Part I: Place 2 cubes on the turntable, one on the rough surface, the other on the smooth surface Increase DC voltage to 4V and click on the button Turn up voltage slowly in 0.1 V increments until the objects fly off Once set up, start records (no longer than 10s) Part II: Transfer to video to Capstone Analyze the video Track movement of each object on Capstone Part III: Create a graph and display the tangential velocity vT of the cube vs. time From the graph, estimate the tangential velocity at the point when the cube flies off the turntable Precautions and Sources of Error : Precautions of errors can include incorrectly tracking the points of the cube. The video recording of the circle might not have been placed properly resulting in a hard video to analyze. Another thing is the rate of the increments in which we increased the turntable. Data:
Rough Radius
Smooth Radius Rough Vt
