Description
The objective of this experiment is to analyse the motion of an object (puck) on an air table by investigating the dots produced by the puck on the data sheet. You will study :
- The velocity and acceleration of an object (puck) moving in a straight line with constant velocity and acceleration,
- The motion of the puck projected horizontally with an initial velocity (projectile motion)
- Collisions in two dimension and conservation of momentum ,
- Newton’s second law of motion (Atwood Machine),
- Rotational motion and conservation of the mechanical energy,
- Hooke’s Law.
Air table provides a flat frictionless surface where the pucks can move almost without friction and permits a time trace of the motion by the spark recording technique with absence of friction. An experimental study of these dots enables us to measure the position (x) as a function of time for the moving pucks. As an example for the interval from t=0 to the later time t, the equitation for an object’s motion with constant acceleration (a) in one dimension can be written as:
