Back to HOME > IB PHYSICS > IB IA EXPERIMENTS > OSCILLATING SYSTEMS

STUDENTS: Ivan, Seunghyun OUR OSCILLATING SYSTEM WAS: Trolley oscillating horizontally between two springs
 * 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

Is acceleration parallel to displacement? Find w a= -w^2x

IN YOUR REPORT, INCLUDE A PHOTO OF THE APPARATUS; THE DATA; THE GRAPHS AND YOUR CONCLUSION
