Hooke’sLawandthePendulums

Last time, we calculated the spring constant using Hooke’s Law. Today, we’re going to look at springs

again, and look at what happens when we set them oscillating (moving back and forth).

You probably already know that Galileo figured out that the mass on the end of a pendulum didn’t affect

the period, only the length of the string did (I love to tell that story). You also may know that this led to

the discovery that masses oscillating on springs only depend on the mass and k. In this lab, we’re going

to prove both of these formulas are correct. Then, we’re going to try to build some things that use this

knowledge.

Materials:

Hooke’s law apparatus

Slotted masses and hangers

Stopwatch

Hanging masses

String

Ringstands and iron rings (holders)

Cinnamon Bun (optional)

Procedure:

In the “data” section below, write the formula you’re trying to prove in the appropriate area.

Create a data table for each experiment. Think about what variable you’ll change, and what you’ll

measure as a result of that. Hint, hint, you’ve got a stopwatch.

Do the experiment: change the masses or change the lengths of string and time the oscillations. Record

what you do.

Once you’ve finished, come see the teacher. Get a number. That’s the period of a pendulum I want you

to build. In the “Build Your Own” section of this paper, let me know what you did. Show the math. I

like the math.

In the analysis section, determine a way to show the world the answers you got versus what would have

been predicted. Graphs and data tables are great ideas. Internet memes are not.

In the conclusions, tell me how accurate your procedure was by putting a number on it: give me some

type of percent error. Also, tell me how you did on the “build your own pendulum” part of the lab.

Give the cinnamon bun to the instructor. He may help you with the lab if he’s well fed and happy.

Hooke’sLawandthePendulums

Last time, we calculated the spring constant using Hooke’s Law. Today, we’re going to look at springs

again, and look at what happens when we set them oscillating (moving back and forth).

You probably already know that Galileo figured out that the mass on the end of a pendulum didn’t affect

the period, only the length of the string did (I love to tell that story). You also may know that this led to

the discovery that masses oscillating on springs only depend on the mass and k. In this lab, we’re going

to prove both of these formulas are correct. Then, we’re going to try to build some things that use this

knowledge.

Materials:

Hooke’s law apparatus

Slotted masses and hangers

Stopwatch

Hanging masses

String

Ringstands and iron rings (holders)

Cinnamon Bun (optional)

Procedure:

In the “data” section below, write the formula you’re trying to prove in the appropriate area.

Create a data table for each experiment. Think about what variable you’ll change, and what you’ll

measure as a result of that. Hint, hint, you’ve got a stopwatch.

Do the experiment: change the masses or change the lengths of string and time the oscillations. Record

what you do.

Once you’ve finished, come see the teacher. Get a number. That’s the period of a pendulum I want you

Hooke’sLawandthePendulums

Last time, we calculated the spring constant using Hooke’s Law. Today, we’re going to look at springs

again, and look at what happens when we set them oscillating (moving back and forth).

You probably already know that Galileo figured out that the mass on the end of a pendulum didn’t affect

the period, only the length of the string did (I love to tell that story). You also may know that this led to

the discovery that masses oscillating on springs only depend on the mass and k. In this lab, we’re going

to prove both of these formulas are correct. Then, we’re going to try to build some things that use this

knowledge.

Materials:

Hooke’s law apparatus

Slotted masses and hangers

Stopwatch

Hanging masses

String

Ringstands and iron rings (holders)

Cinnamon Bun (optional)

Procedure:

In the “data” section below, write the formula you’re trying to prove in the appropriate area.

Create a data table for each experiment. Think about what variable you’ll change, and what you’ll

measure as a result of that. Hint, hint, you’ve got a stopwatch.

Do the experiment: change the masses or change the lengths of string and time the oscillations. Record

what you do.

Once you’ve finished, come see the teacher. Get a number. That’s the period of a pendulum I want you

to build. In the “Build Your Own” section of this paper, let me know what you did. Show the math. I

like the math.

In the analysis section, determine a way to show the world the answers you got versus what would have

been predicted. Graphs and data tables are great ideas. Internet memes are not.

In the conclusions, tell me how accurate your procedure was by putting a number on it: give me some

type of percent error. Also, tell me how you did on the “build your own pendulum” part of the lab.

Give the cinnamon bun to the instructor. He may help you with the lab if he’s well fed and happy.

You probably already know that Galileo figured out that the mass on the end of a pendulum didn’t affect

the period, only the length of the string did (I love to tell that story). You also may know that this led to

the discovery that masses oscillating on springs only depend on the mass and k. In this lab, we’re going

to prove both of these formulas are correct. Then, we’re going to try to build some things that use this

knowledge.

Materials:

Hooke’s law apparatus

Slotted masses and hangers

Stopwatch

Hanging masses

String

Ringstands and iron rings (holders)

Cinnamon Bun (optional)

Procedure:

In the “data” section below, write the formula you’re trying to prove in the appropriate area.

Create a data table for each experiment. Think about what variable you’ll change, and what you’ll

measure as a result of that. Hint, hint, you’ve got a stopwatch.

Do the experiment: change the masses or change the lengths of string and time the oscillations. Record

what you do.

Once you’ve finished, come see the teacher. Get a number. That’s the period of a pendulum I want you

to build. In the “Build Your Own” section of this paper, let me know what you did. Show the math. I

like the math.

In the analysis section, determine a way to show the world the answers you got versus what would have

been predicted. Graphs and data tables are great ideas. Internet memes are not.

In the conclusions, tell me how accurate your procedure was by putting a number on it: give me some

type of percent error. Also, tell me how you did on the “build your own pendulum” part of the lab.

Give the cinnamon bun to the instructor. He may help you with the lab if he’s well fed and happy.

measure as a result of that. Hint, hint, you’ve got a stopwatch.

Do the experiment: change the masses or change the lengths of string and time the oscillations. Record

what you do.

Once you’ve finished, come see the teacher. Get a number. That’s the period of a pendulum I want you

to build. In the “Build Your Own” section of this paper, let me know what you did. Show the math. I

like the math.

In the analysis section, determine a way to show the world the answers you got versus what would have

been predicted. Graphs and data tables are great ideas. Internet memes are not.

In the conclusions, tell me how accurate your procedure was by putting a number on it: give me some

type of percent error. Also, tell me how you did on the “build your own pendulum” part of the lab.

Give the cinnamon bun to the instructor. He may help you with the lab if he’s well fed and happy.

Hooke’sLawandthePendulums

Last time, we calculated the spring constant using Hooke’s Law. Today, we’re going to look at springs

again, and look at what happens when we set them oscillating (moving back and forth).

You probably already know that Galileo figured out that the mass on the end of a pendulum didn’t affect

the period, only the length of the string did (I love to tell that story). You also may know that this led to

the discovery that masses oscillating on springs only depend on the mass and k. In this lab, we’re going

to prove both of these formulas are correct. Then, we’re going to try to build some things that use this

knowledge.

Hooke’sLawandthePendulums

Last time, we calculated the spring constant using Hooke’s Law. Today, we’re going to look at springs

again, and look at what happens when we set them oscillating (moving back and forth).

You probably already know that Galileo figured out that the mass on the end of a pendulum didn’t affect

the period, only the length of the string did (I love to tell that story). You also may know that this led to

the discovery that masses oscillating on springs only depend on the mass and k. In this lab, we’re going

to prove both of these formulas are correct. Then, we’re going to try to build some things that use this

knowledge.

Materials:

Hooke’s law apparatus

Slotted masses and hangers

Stopwatch

Hanging masses

String

Ringstands and iron rings (holders)

Cinnamon Bun (optional)

Procedure:

In the “data” section below, write the formula you’re trying to prove in the appropriate area.

Create a data table for each experiment. Think about what variable you’ll change, and what you’ll

measure as a result of that. Hint, hint, you’ve got a stopwatch.

Do the experiment: change the masses or change the lengths of string and time the oscillations. Record

what you do.

Once you’ve finished, come see the teacher. Get a number. That’s the period of a pendulum I want you

to build. In the “Build Your Own” section of this paper, let me know what you did. Show the math. I

like the math.

In the analysis section, determine a way to show the world the answers you got versus what would have

been predicted. Graphs and data tables are great ideas. Internet memes are not.

In the conclusions, tell me how accurate your procedure was by putting a number on it: give me some

type of percent error. Also, tell me how you did on the “build your own pendulum” part of the lab.

Hooke’sLawandthePendulums

Last time, we calculated the spring constant using Hooke’s Law. Today, we’re going to look at springs

again, and look at what happens when we set them oscillating (moving back and forth).

You probably already know that Galileo figured out that the mass on the end of a pendulum didn’t affect

the period, only the length of the string did (I love to tell that story). You also may know that this led to

the discovery that masses oscillating on springs only depend on the mass and k. In this lab, we’re going

to prove both of these formulas are correct. Then, we’re going to try to build some things that use this

knowledge.

Materials:

Hooke’s law apparatus

Slotted masses and hangers

Stopwatch

Hanging masses

String

Ringstands and iron rings (holders)

Cinnamon Bun (optional)

Procedure:

In the “data” section below, write the formula you’re trying to prove in the appropriate area.

Create a data table for each experiment. Think about what variable you’ll change, and what you’ll

measure as a result of that. Hint, hint, you’ve got a stopwatch.

Do the experiment: change the masses or change the lengths of string and time the oscillations. Record

what you do.

Once you’ve finished, come see the teacher. Get a number. That’s the period of a pendulum I want you

to build. In the “Build Your Own” section of this paper, let me know what you did. Show the math. I

like the math.

In the analysis section, determine a way to show the world the answers you got versus what would have

been predicted. Graphs and data tables are great ideas. Internet memes are not.

In the conclusions, tell me how accurate your procedure was by putting a number on it: give me some

type of percent error. Also, tell me how you did on the “build your own pendulum” part of the lab.

Give the cinnamon bun to the instructor. He may help you with the lab if he’s well fed and happy.

to prove both of these formulas are correct. Then, we’re going to try to build some things that use this

knowledge.

Materials:

Hooke’s law apparatus

Slotted masses and hangers

Stopwatch

Hanging masses

String

Ringstands and iron rings (holders)

Cinnamon Bun (optional)

Procedure:

In the “data” section below, write the formula you’re trying to prove in the appropriate area.

Create a data table for each experiment. Think about what variable you’ll change, and what you’ll

measure as a result of that. Hint, hint, you’ve got a stopwatch.

Do the experiment: change the masses or change the lengths of string and time the oscillations. Record

what you do.

Once you’ve finished, come see the teacher. Get a number. That’s the period of a pendulum I want you

to build. In the “Build Your Own” section of this paper, let me know what you did. Show the math. I

like the math.

In the analysis section, determine a way to show the world the answers you got versus what would have

been predicted. Graphs and data tables are great ideas. Internet memes are not.

In the conclusions, tell me how accurate your procedure was by putting a number on it: give me some

type of percent error. Also, tell me how you did on the “build your own pendulum” part of the lab.

Give the cinnamon bun to the instructor. He may help you with the lab if he’s well fed and happy.

Last time, we calculated the spring constant using Hooke’s Law. Today, we’re going to look at springs

again, and look at what happens when we set them oscillating (moving back and forth).

You probably already know that Galileo figured out that the mass on the end of a pendulum didn’t affect

the period, only the length of the string did (I love to tell that story). You also may know that this led to

the discovery that masses oscillating on springs only depend on the mass and k. In this lab, we’re going
