Physics Lab Report: Determining Spring Constant and Gravitational Acceleration, Study Guides, Projects, Research of Physics

University at BuffaloPhysics

This physics lab report details an experiment to determine the spring constant of a spring and the value of gravitational acceleration using data from spring oscillations and pendulum motion. The report includes detailed calculations, uncertainty analysis, and a discussion of the results. It provides a practical application of fundamental physics principles and demonstrates the use of experimental data to derive physical constants.

VI 1

Holder mass: mh =5. 1 g

Spring mass: ms =2. 8 g

Flag mass: mf = 3.5g

x 0 = 24 cm

σx0 = ± 0. 5 cm

# m(g) xm( cm) x = x0 - xm

Slope 0.118357143 1. 156666667 Intercept

Slope Uncertainty 0.006030253 0. 469689191 Intercept Uncertainty

By comparing the force on a spring with the slope-intercept form of a line, we can

determine the spring constant,

So, y=sx+b

s= k/g

∴k=s∗g

K= (0.118357143g/cm) (980 cm/ s^2 ) = 115.9900001 g/ s^2

σk= (g)(σs)

σk= (980 cm/ s

) (0.006030253g/cm) = 5.90964794 g/s

K± σk =115.99 ± 6 g/s
