In the first part of the experiment you had to measure the height that the pendulum obtained. Why did you measure that height with respect to the index pointer on the pendulum bob? - ANSWERit represented center of mass of the pendulum bob and connecting rod In an isolated system, two equal masses of the same geometry approach one another along the same line of action with equal magnitudes but opposite velocities. The collision between them is perfectly INELASTIC. The kinetic energy stored in ...

A - ANSWERWhy is it useful in the experiment to hang the balloons? A. Hanging the balloons avoids contact with other objects that might discharge them. B. The string can serve as conductor and facilitate the charging and discharging of the objects. C. The string is an insulator and amplifies the electric charge of the balloon. D. Electric forces are always horizontal, and the string is vertical so that it does not interfere with the electric forces. E. The string allows the recharging of th...

Two gliders on a frictionless air track. No outside work is done on the system so total energy of system is..? - ANSWERConserved In this lab what are we looking at? - ANSWERenergy conservation in one dimensional collisions on a frictionless surface. Also investigate the conservation law: Conservation of linear momentum. What is Newton's second law? - ANSWERF=ma=mdv/dt How to calculate work - ANSWERW=Fdcos(θ) F= magnitude of force, d is the magnitude of the objects displacement due to...

Newtons Second Law - ANSWERF=ma=m(dv/dt) Work (done by a constant force) - ANSWERFdcos(theta) F=magnitude of force d=magnitude of displacement (due to the force) theta=angle between force and displacement vectors work is the dot product of the force and displacement vectors Joules - ANSWERunit of work 1J=1Nm Energy - ANSWERcapacity of an object to do work Work (define) - ANSWERtransfer of energy from one system to another 2 basic types of energy - ANSWERpotential energy and k...
