Part 1: Computational Physics Essay
1.1. A New CPE Example
Here another example CPE is presented to you. This is intended only for reference and inspiration. You don't have to repeat after it. Note its
structure: introduction, body, conclusion. Just like in a standard essay. However, it is not a polished report where everything works out. Note the
progression involved. For CPE, you need to tell a story of how you arrived at your conclusions and provide all necessary details along the way.

In volleyball, the goal is to make the ball hit the ±oor on the opponent side of the net. To get the ball into play, you serve the ball from behind the
court, over to your opponents side, where they try to catch it. The strategy then is to make their initial catch of the ball as di²cult as possible,
either by making the serve fast or unpredictable.
A fast serve means that the ball spends the least amount of time in the air before making a potential contact with the ±oor, giving the opponent
shorter time to react. A predictable serve means that it travels with some spin which results in a slightly curved trajectory of the ball. In this
essay, we are interested in
making the serve fast
not unpredictable. Thus, the effects due to spin will be neglected.

Conclusion
The total time it takes the ball to reach the ±oor will depend on the angle we provide. Of course, we cannot increase the angle inde³nitely
because eventually the ball will start ±ying beyond the court. So, the trend is clear:
the lowest allowed angle leads to the fastest serve
. In our
case, it was about
deg with the horizontal. By changing the initial speed of the ball and height this value will change correspondingly. The
actual e²ciency of such a serve is up for discussion, as where the ball lands in relation to the defenders plays a big role.

Problem Statement:
Sports have a signi³cant relationship with physics, since nearly all of them involve exerting forces either on an object or even on another
person for entertainment. One classic type of sport is called cue sports, more speci³cally billiards or pool. Billiards is a game that is often
played on a table which involves a cue stick striking balls against each other or against the wall in order to sink them into the pockets
around the edge of the table. Billiards, and other cue sports, is a game of skill in which a billiards player must precisely calibrate the
correct amount of force and the correct approach angle in order to hit the ball perfectly so it doesn't ±y into the air or send the other ball
in the wrong direction. In the case of a game of billiards, the player must understand how to correctly strike the cue ball to not only avoid
hitting his opponent's balls but also precisley land his ball into the edge pockets. This essay will investigate the following questions: What
is the ³nal velocity and distance of the second ball? How much time was the second ball in motion?
The Rubric Elements
DESIGN THINKING
Stakeholders: The clients in this problem are people who want to learn about the spors (viewers, offcials, etc.)speci³cally poeple that
require basic knowledge of how to play the game. Meanwhile, the users are the players, who require the knowledge and skills to prefrom
their best in order to beat their opponent (they value the criteria of our problem). Finally, the stakeholders include everyone involves with
the sport including manufacturers, broacasters, viewers, and players.
Constraints: We are presented with multiple constraints with our problem including the dimenions of the board, the sizes of the ball, the
masses of each ball, the frictional force acting on the ball, the inital force, how fast the ball is moving, the angle of approach.
Criteria: Along with constraints, we are also presented with criteria for our problem. We must be able to determine the maximum velocity,
the distance traveled, and total time of movement of the second ball. While determining a solution, we must acknowledge that both balls
must remain on the table over the entire duration of time. Finally, we will need to understand the work done on the ball by the table in
terms of friction.
Assumptions: When calculating our solution we must mke some assumptions about the game of billiards, treating it as a series of elastic
collisions. We must assume that a constant force of friction will act on the balls, while we can neglect the presence of air resistance. We
are also assuming that the cue balls are perfectly smooth and circular, and equipment sustains (does not vary in e³cacy). This solution
will be determined in stable and constant environmental conditions.
Approximations: In addition, we have approximated the acceleration due to gravity is
everywhere and friction is constant.
Trade-offs: neglect some important variations in friction and environment to get our predicted calculations, which is necessary to make a
simpli³ed baseline prediction
Iterations: We will complete many tests with different starting scenarios such as varying initial velocities and varying masses.
SCIENCE THINKING
We will utulize the following scienti³c ideas:
Momentum Principle
Energy Principle
Rotational kinetic energy
Translational kinetic energy
System: Both balls and the earth
Surroundings: Table
The momentum principle and energy principle will be used to help solve this problem. The system that we are using consists of both balls
and the earth, while the surroundings that we will consider include the table and the forces from the cue stick. The system allows use to
use momentum and energy princples to determine the ³nal velocity and distance of the second ball? The system also helps us determine
how much time was the second ball in motion?
When calculating an appropiate solution, we are able to consider both point particle and extended models.

This concludes Part 1 of the lab.
Part 2. The Conservation of Angular Momentum
The effects of moving heavy rotating objects can often be counter-intuitive so it is important to be careful!
Only sit on the rotating chair. Do not stand on it.
When extending your arms, make sure there is no obstacle blocking them.
Be alert for strong forces and sharp movements in unexpected directions.
Keep the spinning bicycle wheel in the vertical plane when not collecting any data.
Only use the wooden block to stop the bicycle wheel spinning. Do not use your hands.
Tuck away all loose clothing, jewelry, and hair to avoid getting it tangled in the bicycle wheel.
Keep plenty of free elbowroom.

m_d = 2.26796
EDIT CELL(S) ABOVE
Follow these setup instructions:
Sit securely on the rotating chair with your center of mass approximately over the axis of rotation.
Hold the two dumbbells at full arm’s length.
One of your teammates should rotate the chair, not too fast since you will spin faster when you pull your arms in.
Rotate for 1 to 2 revolutions, and then pull your arms in close to your body for 1 to 2 revolutions, and then re-extend your arms so that you
won't get too dizzy!
Another teammate should measure the time it takes for one revolution with the dumbbells out and again the time it takes for one
revolution with the dumbbells in.
For the person in your group who is willing to sit on the rotating chair and perform the experiment:
Measure the distance,
(m) between a dumbbell and the axis of rotation when arms are extended,
Measure the initial rotational time period
(s) when the dumbells are out and the ³nal period
(s) when they are in,
Calculate the corresponding initial angular speed
(rad/s) and ³nal angular speed
(rad/s) of rotation.
EDIT CELL(S) BELOW
#Type the distance between one dumbell and the center
r_d = 0.78
#Type the initial period of rotation
T_i = 2.56
#Type the final period of rotation
T_f = 1.38
#The number pi is defined
pi = 3.1416
#Type the initial angular speed
omega_i = 2 * 3.1416 / (T_i)
#Type the final angular speed
omega_f = 2*3.1416 / (T_f)
EDIT CELL(S) ABOVE
FOR THE QUESTIONS Q01 - Q08 BELOW PLEASE FOLLOW THE GUIDANCE OF YOUR TA.

Write an expression for the moment of inertia of the dumbbells alone about the axis of rotation
when the arms are extended. Use
previously de³ned
and
. Assume that each dumbbell is a point mass.
Denote the moment of inertia of the person + chair about the axis of rotation by
. Assume that arms contribute negligibly compared to
the whole body. You do not need to ³nd this quantity now.
Since the moment of inertia is an additive quantity, combine
and
into
.
Q03:
What is the
total initial angular momentum
of the system
?
Assume the Z axis is pointing vertically upward.
Express it in terms of
,
,
, and
.

Q04:
What is the
total ±nal moment of inertia
of the system
?
Estimate the moment of inertia of the dumbbells alone (about the axis of rotation) when they were brought in, close to the axis of rotation
(i.e. ³nal position)? Assume that the distance between the dumbbells and the axis of rotation in that position is negligible compared to
the length of an extended arm.
Following this logic, does the moment of inertia of the rest of the system
change?
The intertia of the dumbells should be zero since the radius is considered to be zero between their center of mass and the axis of rotation.
does not change due to the fact that the mass and radius of the chair remain constant
Q05:
What is the
total ±nal angular momentum
of the system
?
Assume the Z axis is pointing vertically upward.
Express it in terms of
and
.
Q06:
What is the
net torque
exerted by the surroundings on the system? Explain.
The net torque is equal to zero becasue the mass is even on both sides of the pivot point and the only force acting after the push is gravity.
Q07:
What is the
change of the angular momentum
of the system from initial to ³nal states
?
The Angular Momentum Principle dictates that
(where
is the duration of the impact of the torque),
You do not need to know the exact value of

Using the expression you derived above, calculate
(kg*m^2) in the following Code cell using the expression you obtained above.
#Type your expression for the moment of inertia I_o
#Use m_d, r_d, omega_i, and omega_f defined ealier
I_o = ( 2* m_d * r_d**2 * omega_i) / (omega_f - omega_i)
print(f'The moment of inertia of (body + chair): {I_o} kg*m^2')
The moment of inertia of (body + chair): 3.2273916479999993 kg*m^2
2.2. Spinning Wheel
There are PASCO bicycle wheels (aka Gyroscope) in the room. To spin the bicycle wheel there is a motor station. Place the wheel against the
hub on the motor and step on the foot switch.
Be careful as you move about the room. Make sure you have no loose items (scarves, ties, necklaces, etc.) that could get caught in the
wheel’s spokes. Do not tip the bicycle wheel until you have plenty of elbowroom. DO NOT try to stop the spinning wheel with your hand or
other body part – have your teammate ±rmly hold the wooden block with two hands and use it to slow the wheel.
Follow these setup instructions below.
One PERSON should:
Sit on the stool without rotating initially.
Not touch the ±oor so it can rotate freely.
Another PERSON should:
Use the motor to spin up the bicycle wheel.
Orient the spinning wheel in the horizontal plane so that the wheel is spinning counterclockwise when viewed from above.
Hand the spinning wheel to the teammate sitting on the stool.
Invert the wheel by 180 deg. You will notice that the chair starts rotating.
Measure the time it takes for the person on the stool to complete 1-2 revolutions.
Stop the chair before getting dizzy. Then stop the wheel.
NOTE: The person on the chair should be
the same person who volunteered
for the previous section. Otherwise, measure
again.
Type the number of rotations you have measured and the time it took in the Code cell below and run it. It will calculate the period and the
angular speed of rotation.
#Type the number of revolutions recorded
n = 1
#Type the time of the recorded revolutions in s
t = 3.88
pi = 3.1416
T = t / n #the period of rotation in s
omega = 2 * pi / T #the angular speed in rad/s
print(f'The period of rotation was: {T} s')
The period of rotation was: 3.88 s
