3. Moment of inertia of a flywheel

1. Introduction and theory

mgh=12mr2ω2+12Iω2+n1Wmgh=12mr2ω2+12Iω2+n1W

12Iω2=n2WW=Iω22n212Iω2=n2WW=Iω22n2

I=2mghmr2ω2ω2(1+n1n2)I=2mghmr2ω2ω2(1+n1n2)

ω+02=2πn2tω=4πn2tω+02=2πn2tω=4πn2t

h=2πrn1h=2πrn1

2. Method and data

Number of rotations before the mass falls, n1=n1=

Radius of the axle, r=[(a+vb)/2]r=[(a+vb)/2] cm; where aa is the main scale reading, bb is the Vernier scale reading, and vv is the Vernier constant.

Mass (g) n2n2 tt

3. Angular velocity

4. Moment of inertia

Mean

μ=1NN1i=0xi.μ=1NN1i=0xi.

Standard deviation

σ=1NN1i=0(xiμ)2.σ= 1NN1i=0(xiμ)2.

5. Discussion and conclusion

  1. Why does the flywheel come to a stop?
  2. Why are the 4 measurements of moment of inertia different?
  3. When does the flywheel reach its maximum velocity?
  4. What does the standard deviation (numpy.std) of II tell you?
