using Newtons second law of rotation, We will be using a rigid aluminum disk mounted on a Rotary Machine Probe, using torques where we can measure the angular velocity as a function of time with the motion probe. We used 2 cylinders(masses) on this apparatus in pegs , and with a pully and string with a mass used as a tension to rotate the disk.
A). What would happen to the data on our graphs if we tied the string around the smaller pulley in the experiment? WOULD THE SLOPE BE SMALLER,LARGER,or UNCHANGED and would the INTERCEPT BE SMALLER, LARGER, or UNCHANGED?
B.) What would happen to our graphs on one of our runs if both masses fell off at the same time, halfway through the experiment.(they fall off naturally and still have momentum from the turning). DRAW AN EXAMPLE GRAPH with labels in important places, not a complex explanation.
