Centripetal force Lab report Period Period and frequency Physics

Click For Summary

To analyze centripetal force in a lab report, replace the force variable F with y and the term 1/T² with x in the equation, resulting in the format y = something * x. The slope of this linear relationship represents a key parameter of the centripetal force. The units of the slope need to be determined based on the variables involved. Understanding these transformations is crucial for accurately interpreting the results of the experiment. Properly defining the slope and its units will enhance the clarity of the lab report.

Homework Statement: I am writing up a lab report on Centripetal force. One thing I have to do is graph Force vs 1/(Period squared). What would be the unit of the slope of this graph?

Relevant Equations: The force is in Newtons and the Period is in seconds.

Take the equation that you are plotting.
Replace ##F## with ##y##,
Replace ##\dfrac{1}{T^2}## with ##x##.
It should now look like ##y=\text{something}*x##. The slope is something. What are its units?

Thread 'Coulomb's force vs the Lorentz force'

Beams of electrons and protons move parallel to each other in the same direction. They ______. a. attract each other. b. repel each other. c. neither attract nor repel. d. the force of attraction or repulsion depends upon the speed of the beams. This is a previous-year-question of CBSE Board 2023. The answer key marks (b) as the right option. I want to know why we are ignoring Coulomb's force?
