We will then use a stopwatch to measure the periods of oscillations with different increasing values of mass that way we can find a difference in any oscillation changes. ²fter we will change the spring constant (k) by changing (inc/dec) the length of the spring by changing the mass then we can find if this change will cause a change in oscillations since finding angular velocity takes spring constant k and mass m into consideration . meterstick

These results are pretty in line with our predictions with our largest percent error being 4.3% and lowest being 0.96%. The larger mass of .2kg had a lower observed շ than the smaller mass of .1kg. ² possible source of error could be that the springs have deteriorated and become deformed due to several consecutive years of usage. ²nother possible source of error could be timer discrepancies due to human reaction time which could add a couple seconds. There could also possibly be calculation errors but this is the least likely source of error. 7KFVV±=8SUNQL =8\VWJP >9UNKFOV" 0xpHrLmHnt ?6JXYsXYs % P ² % ³´´L ?6JXYsXYs &$ P ³ % ²´´L <UVpWXrRNOSTPL % N ² % ¶µ·· 83¸P ²´>9 % ²²µ!¶V շ RLGV % ¶µ³» UJY¸V ¼ /UURU % ´µ!»¼ ²´>9 % µ¹³V շ RLGV % ºµ¶· UJY¸V ¼ /UURU % ²µ!¼ <UVpWXrRNOSTPL &$ N ³ % ºµ¶¹ 83¸P ²´>9 % ²´µ·!V շ RLGV % ¶µ!º UJY¸V ¼ /UURU % ³µ»¼ ²´>9 % ºµ»³V շ RLGV % µ³¹ UJY¸V ¼ /UURU % ·µ¹¼

This rod also supports a horizontal metal bar to which the string (of varying lengths) of the pendulum is attached. ²t the end if the string a golf ball is attached. .RYNfm`jjP the lengths of each pendulum you used. ±EbiNnnbiEmmRY the theoretical angular frequency for each length , in the table at right. ¶nclude an example calculation below. :5JQIXOXP >9UNKFOV" 8oGHl 3STPLuQRJWXr 8WXrNJVWquNJSTLHRNONJXYs 6JQLWM ² 6 ² % ¶¹ HP շ WMJRU\ % ·µ¹´ UJY¸V 6JQLWM ³ 6 ³ % ¹·HP շ WMJRU\ % ¶µ¹º UJY¸V 6JQLWM ¹ 6 ¹ % ³³ HP շ WMJRU\ % »µ»º UJY¸V 6JQLWM · 6 · % ²³HP շ WMJRU\ % !µ² UJY¸V meterstick

Our results match our predictions; The shorter the length of the pendulum, the shorter it takes the complete 10 periods of oscillation and the higher the angular frequency. Possible sources of error include human error in timing. Slight delays in starting or stopping the stopwatch will affect the calculated angular frequency. The pendulum may have also been released with some force by the human hand which would increase the angular frequency. The series of calculations could have also increased the error. :5JQIXOXP >9UNKFOV" 8oGHl 6JQLWM ² 6 ² % ¶¹ HP ²´>9 % ²¶µ!² V շ RLGV % ¹µ!¶ UJY¸V ¼ /UURU % µ²·¼ 6JQLWM ³ 6 ³ % ¹· HP ²´>9 % ²³µ·V շ RLGV % ¶µ´º UJY¸V ¼ /UURU % ¶µ»¼ 6JQLWM ¹ 6 ¹ % ³³ HP ²´>9 % ²´µ³³V շ RLGV % »µ²· UJY¸V ¼ /UURU % ºµ!¼ 6JQLWM · 6 · % ²³HP ²´>9 % ºµ³¶V շ RLGV % µ»» UJY¸V ¼ /UURU % ·µ ·¼
