Wednesday March 23 2011 - Centripetal Force

In today's class, we were instructed to carry out our Centripetal Force labs. I'm unable to post any data which my partner and I received during the lab as we're suppose to perform the procedure on our own and also because the way the lab is performed may cause differences in data from group to group. I highly suggest that any of those who were unable to make it to class and could not do the lab, do their best to finish this particular one because it's fairly straight forward and easy to record and also very enjoyable. Another suggestion is that before going ahead with the lab, read it through and record the measurements you're using as they are important for calculations concerning time and speed. Also remember to look at the "Interpretation" questions on the next page as they will require the plotting of a graph and comprehension of the obtained data.

*Note
When carrying out the lab be sure to keep a constant distance with the stopper attached to the string. This is indicated by the alligator clip. Use that specific measurement for each time you go and change the number of washer. Be sure to record this measurement.

There's not much more I can say for this scribe but to just get the lab done and to finish the homework in the green booklets. It's almost spring break and I think everyone would like little or no homework for the break so do as much as possible.

Thanks for the post. You didn't choose a scribe for today.
