Long report on timing oscillation. help

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on writing a comprehensive report on timing oscillation experiments. Key components to include are the average period of oscillation, and how this period is affected by variations in weight, pendulum length, and initial amplitude. The provided links contain handouts that serve as a reference for the experiment. Clear calculations and observations are essential for a thorough analysis.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of oscillation principles and mechanics
  • Familiarity with pendulum dynamics
  • Basic statistical analysis for averaging periods
  • Ability to interpret experimental data
NEXT STEPS
  • Research methods for calculating the period of a pendulum
  • Learn about the effects of mass on oscillation frequency
  • Study the relationship between pendulum length and oscillation period
  • Explore the impact of initial amplitude on pendulum motion
USEFUL FOR

Students conducting physics experiments, educators preparing lab reports, and researchers interested in oscillation dynamics.

long report on timing oscillation. help!

i'd like to ask how do we write a long report on an experiment ( timing oscillation) pls help!

the links of this experiment handout:

i'd like to ask wt do i need to write in this report?? :confused:
wt calculations should i show??

thank you!

Show how long one period of oscillation takes (take the average of many periods)
and then show how/whether this period changes when you:
- change the weight
- change the length of the pendulum
- change the initial amplitude of the oscillation
 

Thread 'Does acceleration affect impact energy vs constant velocity?'

I do not have a good working knowledge of physics yet. I tried to piece this together but after researching this, I couldn’t figure out the correct laws of physics to combine to develop a formula to answer this question. Ex. 1 - A moving object impacts a static object at a constant velocity. Ex. 2 - A moving object impacts a static object at the same velocity but is accelerating at the moment of impact. Assuming the mass of the objects is the same and the velocity at the moment of impact...
