3. Moment of inertia of a flywheel

1. Introduction and theory

mgh=12mr2ω2+12Iω2+n1W

12Iω2=n2WW=Iω22n2

I=2mghmr2ω2ω2(1+n1n2)

ω+02=2πn2tω=4πn2t

h=2πrn1

2. Method and data

Number of rotations before the mass falls, n1=

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

Mass (g) n2 t
1000
1500
2000
2500

3. Angular velocity

4. Moment of inertia

Mean

μ=1Ni=0N1xi.

Standard deviation

σ=1Ni=0N1(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 I tell you?
