Conservation of Energy in a Rotating Rotor Lab (AP Level Rotational Motion)
In this investigation on rotational motion students will measure the time of fall of a hook mass that spins a PVC "T" rotor with weighted arms. This is very similar to an often-used lab in physics AP 1, where a falling mass spins a PVC rotor with weights in the arms. Students will use linear and rotational velocity measurements to calculate the center of mass (from moment of inertia) of one of the rotor's arms. I do not use this in first-year physics. This is an AP-level investigation.Materi
