Title:
Linear Angular Motion

Objective:
The aim of this laboratory is to calculate the linear and angular velocity of a free fall weight.

Introduction:
In this experiment, linear angular motion is conducted by recording the time taken by a two
different mass of weight where the weight is escaping from the flywheel and the number of
revolution done after the weight reach on the ground. Linear motion is the movement of an
object in one dimension from initial point to final point and it is a vector quantity which has
both magnitude and direction such as displacement and velocity [1]. Linear motion also has
two types of motion which is uniform motion and non-uniform motion. Uniform motion is an
object moving with constant velocity and zero acceleration. For example, an object is moving
on a horizontal axis while the gravity does not affect the motion of the object so the object
will move on a uniform linear motion. Non-uniform motion is an object moving with variable
velocity and non-zero acceleration [2]. Thus, linear motion known as rectilinear motion
when moving in a straight path. Angular motion is the rotation motion of an object when
moving in a circular path it occurs when all points on a body or object move in a circular path
about a fixed axis. Besides that, angular motion is also a vector quantity which has both
magnitude and direction such as angular displacement and angular velocity. There are two
types of angular motion is spin angular velocity and orbital angular velocity which involves
the object moving in a speed rotation[3]. For example, a sport car is racing on the circular
track

Theory:

𝐷 = 2rπN
• Where r is the radius of the flywheel.

2. Angular Velocity:

radians. Therefore, angular velocity is

Procedures:

First of all, the cord on the 25mm outer diameter shaft was wound-up. Then, the weight is
hooked at the free end of the cord while the position of the weight was maintained. After that,
the weight is released from its height when the stopwatch started instantly. When the weight
reaches the ground, the stopwatch was stopped. Next, when the weight reaches the ground
caused the number of revolutions so the shaft rotates was measured. According to with
different weight which the weight hooked at the cord. Moreover, the steps above were
repeated 1 to 5 times with using 50mm and 75mm of the outer diameter shaft which was
changed from 25mm. In order to obtain an average value for each of the experiment were
repeated 3 times. Therefore, graphs of linear velocity versus flywheel diameter and angular
velocity versus flywheel diameter is plotted for this experiment.

- This data already off

According to the error bar for weight 0.1kg and 0.25kg on graph above, both theoretical
and experiment value of velocity are both linearly increases for linear velocity (m/s) against
flywheel diameter(mm) but it does have slightly difference error of value between theoretical
and experiment value of velocity.

Figure 5(c): Linear velocity versus Flywheel diameter graph

According to the weight 0.1kg and weight 0.25kg graph above show that linear velocity is
linearly increases to flywheel diameter. This is because when flywheel diameter is larger
require small amount of time and number of turns to allow the weight reach down slowly on
the ground compare to smaller flywheel. Besides that, the weight depends on the size of the
flywheel so when the flywheel diameter more larger, then the speed of the weight reach on
the ground more faster.

- point already off

According to the weight 0.1kg and weight 0.25kg graph above show that angular velocity
is linearly increases and decreases to flywheel diameter. This is because when linear velocity
traveling in a circular path causes the radius to increase and decreases, whereas the angular
velocity does not cause the radius to change during the free fall of the weight.

21
Discussion:
1. Linear velocity is the rate of change at which an object traveling along in one dimension.
It is vector quantity which have magnitude and direction when moving in a straight line.
Next, angular velocity is the rate of change which the object is moving around the circular
path measures by the amount of rotation per time. It is a vector quantity which has a
direction that can rotate with counter-clockwise or clockwise motion at the center point of
the circle’s fixed axis. For example, the object moves around the circumference of the
flywheel diameter with linear velocity, v and angular velocity, ω, then the weight released
from initial point to final point on the ground in per unit time. Therefore, the magnitude
of the linear velocity of an object travelling in a circular motion have relation to angular
𝑣
velocity of the object ω by the relation 𝑟 = 𝜔 , where r is the radius of curvature. The

table below prove the relation between linear and angular velocity.

22
 2. When the weight change from 0.1kg into 0.25kg cause the weight increases so it does
affect the changes of linear velocity and the angular velocity also increases.
Moreover, the speed of the weight reaches onto the ground in a straight line or
circular line are depends on the mass of the weight. When the mass of the weight
increases, then it will cause the angular momentum also increases. Therefore, mass is
directly proportional to angular momentum.
m = mass, kg
𝑉∝𝑚 𝜔∝𝑚

3. When the flywheel diameter increases, then the linear velocity and angular velocity
also increases. This is because the larger the diameter affect the number of revolution
decreases and the time taken also decreases. For example, the revolution, N of the
flywheel diameter affect the changes of linear and angular velocity. Thus, linear
velocity, v and angular velocity, 𝜔 are directly proportional to the revolution of the
flywheel diameter, N. The linear velocity and angular velocity of the equation are
shown according to the table below.

- Disccusion should be written is paragraph not point form. But it can be separate into subsection.
- I ONLY REQUEST FOR 1 SAMPLE CALCULATION. Giving same calculation for all the values is
pointless and waste of time.
- You didn't state what causes your outlier.
- The discusion should be combine in the same section. Results section is to show the data obtained

 Conclusion:

In conclusion, linear and angular velocity of a free fall weight had been studied in which
results in the dependency of radius of the flywheel as stated in the equation v = r ω . From
here, as the radius of flywheel increased, the linear angular velocity also increased. There are
main difference between linear velocity and angular velocity. Linear velocity involves an
object moves in uniform circular motion around the circumference throughout different
points of circle but it does not remain the same radius when moving throughout the different
point of circle. Angular velocity involves an object moving in a circular motion along the axis
of the circle but it does not change the radius when rotating in a circular motion. However,
the experimental value that have recorded will be different results with the theoretical value
that has been calculated manually cause by several errors happen. This is because these error
might be caused by human error such as miscalculated number of revolution from the
flywheel rotates at high angular velocity so it will cause miscalculate for this experiment.
Moreover, there also might be error when recording the time taken which caused by human
error whether too early or too slow to start the recording or stopping the stopwatch [4]. As a
training engineering students need to take notes for the calculation to evaluate this structure
more safety must be done mathematically to compare the value of the experimental value that
received from the display device such as stopwatch. This is because the stopwatch has
parallax error when it shows the reading the value or the quality of the equipment is very bad.
Furthermore, it may cause impractical and unsafe for engineer to design this structure. In
order to make an improvement for this experiment that engineering students must be aware
these precautions to be taken to avoid and minimize the error and inaccuracy.

-What you have written in conclusion is part of your disccusion.

- Conclusion should be stating what significant point or idea you obtain from the experiment.
