About this document

Moment of Inertia Lab Experiment by brian is a document available to read on EtoBox.

1. The document describes an experiment to determine the moment of inertia (I1) of two masses rotating on a horizontal rod. Students measure the time it takes for a hanging mass to fall, which allows them to calculate angular velocity and solve the equation relating gravitational potential energy to kinetic energy. 2. Students first find the moment of inertia (I0) of the apparatus alone. They then perform trials with the masses at different distances (R) from the center to determine I1. Finally, they use
