The purpose of this lab was to use an accelerometer on a turn table to show a relationship between angular acceleration and angular velocity
Experiment:
We placed a small accelerometer on the turntable and spun it at different speeds and recorded the time it took to make 4 full rotations to get an average period
Using the formula omega = 2Pi/Period we were able to input the data from the accelerometer and the period we calculated. We then used the equation a= radius*omega sqrd to solve for omega
The picture above shows a linear graph since the radius of the spinning table is constant and also shows the relationship between angular acceleration and angular velocity.
