SEVERAL+OSCILLATING+SYSTEMS

IB PHYSICS > IB IA EXPERIMENTS [|IA criteria checklist.doc] - always a good idea to look at this before submitting your work. =PRACTICAL: SEVERAL OSCILLATING SYSTEMS= APPARATUS: //One of:// Simple Pendulum Cordless pendulum Spring oscillating vertically Trolley oscillating horizontally between two springs Plastic cup oscillating in water Compass Needle oscillating in magnetic field Two repelling magnets oscillating Another oscillating system
 * Camera**
 * Logger Pro software**

PROCEDURE:
AIM: To determine whether a system is oscillating with SHM For one of the systems use a camera and software to do the following:
 * 1) Check if T is independent of amplitude (condition of shm)
 * 2) Measure how time period, T varies with a physical variable of the system.
 * 3) Use the graph to suggest a relationship with the variable.
 * 4) Plot a graph of acceleration against displacement and decide if the motion is SHM
 * 5) **use the graph and SHM formula** to find angular frequency of the motion

REPORT:
USE A PAGE ON THIS WIKI FOR YOUR REPORT (links below) Illustrate the apparatus of each system (a clear labelled photo will do). Tabulate all of your results with the appropriate uncertainties. Plot graphs where appropriate and identify the relationships between graphed quantities. Write a Conclusion and Evaluation.
