Exam 1: Labs/Activities

1. 1) Period of an inertia balance
   
2. 2) Sparker/FreeFall lab/Standard deviation of a data set 
   
3. 3) Modeling non-constant acceleration on Excel (rocket-powered elephant activity)
   
4. 4) Modeling air resistance (coffee filters lab) 
   
5. 5) Projectile motion activity/lab (launch ball, find v0, predict where it would hit an angled ramp) 
   
6. 6) Determining density of cylinders/mass of suspended object (propagated uncertainty)
   
7. 7) Coefficients of friction stuff
   • a) static friction with cup and water
   • b) kinetic friction with force sensor
   • c) static friction from angle to get sliding
   • d) kinetic friction from sliding block on a steep ramp 
   • e) predicting acceleration of a two-mass system—one on a friction ramp, the other hanging
8. 8) centripetal acceleration as a function of angular speed (spinning horizontal wheel with an accelerometer on it)
   
9. 9) relationship between angular speed (ω) and angle of the string above the vertical (θ) for a particular rotating apparatus
