7. #9 Center of Mass Lab Activity
1. Find the center of mass of a 100 g mass at the 75 cm mark and a 200 g mass at the 25 cm mark. Will there be a net Torque associated with this center of mass? Calculate the net Torque at the center of mass.
2. Take a 20g and 40g mass. If the pivot point is at the 50 cm mark on the ruler and the 20g mass is placed at the 70 cm mark, where should you put the 40g mass to make the center of mass hit the pivot point. Calculate, then check your work by testing out your calculated position.
3. Take a 10 g mass. Place the 10g mass on the 80 cm mark. Where should you make the pivot point so that it touches the center of mass and the ruler balances? Calculate then test with a ruler and masses.
4. A 100 g mass is at the 90cm mark on a ruler that pivots at the 50 cm mark. A 500 g mass is at the 30 cm mark on the same ruler. Where would a 200 g mass need to be placed to make the center of mass hit the 50 cm mark. Calculate then verify.

12. #15 Rotational Inertia by Rolling Lab
Theory: When an object rolls, it has kinetic energy both in its linear (translational) motion and its rotation. The distribution of the mass about the body can affect how much energy is required to cause the spin. For example, a cart with very small wheels has almost none of its kinetic energy distributed in rolling whereas a thin hoop has a large share of its mass moving at the radial distance. In the case of an object rolling down a ramp from rest, the Total Kinetic Energy is equal to the change in gravitational potential energy ΔU=mgΔh. The total kinetic energy of a body is found by Ktotal=Ktrans+Krot=1/2 mv2+ ½ Iω2
v0=0 d
v=rω h1 h2
The new symbols, I and ω, are rotational inertia and angular velocity, respectively. Where I is a constant for rigid bodies and depends on how the mass is distributed, it is usually stated as CmR2 where C is a constant between zero and 1. Angular velocity is easily found by measuring the objects velocity and converting by the formula V=Rω.
Procedure: Raise a table on one side by putting a block of wood or a book under two of its legs. Allow objects of various shapes and mass distributions to roll a distance of 1.5 meters across the tilted surface. The change in height is easily measured by comparing h1 to h2 as shown. Timing the journey allows one to calculate the average translational speed, and from that the angular speed. Vaverage=1/2 (V+V0). The higher rotational inertias become evident when more energy is in the rotation. This causes a slower translational verlocity and a longer rolling time.
Data: Start by measuring 1.5 m on the table top. Raise the table with the wood blocks and determine the change the height over those 1.5 m.
Δh=_________ m
Time the cart as it travels through this distance, fill in the chart on the next page. *** Repeat your trials until the time value is reliable.

14. Analysis
1. Create a list that Organizes the objects in order of rotational inertia, from largest to smallest.
2. Use conservation of energy to show that neither mass nor radius is needed to predict the final velocity.
3. Is #2 verified by experiment? For example, do both solid cylinders have the same roll time?
Can you understand that a disc is a solid cylinder and that a ring is a hollow cylinder?
Do rings and cylinders have the same fall time? Do disks and rings have the same fall time? #2 & #4 suggest they shoul.
Expected values for C are 1 ring/hoop/tube, ½=disc/cylinder, 2/5 solid sphere, 2/3=hollow sphere. How well (in percent) do your values match these expected values?
What would roll down a hill faster, a hard-boiled egg, a fresh egg, or a hollow plastic Easter egg? Explain.
Imagine you are at the store buying foods in cans. Would chicken broth roll down a hill faster than an empty can? What about pumpkin pie mix (sticky & thick)?
What was cart the fastest object today?
An object that is at rest, not spinning, will not spin unless acted on by an outside torque. Knowing that a torque is a force that acts at a radius, what force was causing the torque? What made the objects spin? If this force was absent what would their movement be like?
What are the likely sources of error that could make our measurement unreliable? How well did the experiment work ( see#6) Write a conclusion.
