    Inetia (2.3 Inertia)

    Uploaded by

    wengsung
    This document outlines an experiment to investigate the relationship between mass and inertia. The hypothesis is that inertia increases with mass. The manipulated variable is the mass attached to a hacksaw blade, while the responding variable is the period of oscillation, which is measured using a stopwatch. The experiment involves displacing the blade with different plasticine masses attached and measuring the time for 20 oscillations to calculate the period. The data will be tabulated and then analyzed by plotting a graph of period versus mass.

    Example of Experimental Framework Questions.

    (Paper 3 Section B)
    Question on Inertia (F4: 2.3.Inertia)

    Inference The mass of an object affects its inertia.


    Hypothesis When the mass of an object increases, its inertia also increases
    Aim To investigate the relationship between mass and inertia
    Variables Manipulated Variable: Mass, m
    Responding Variable: Inertia, T (Measure by period of oscillation of the
    hacksaw blade)
    Fixed Variable: length of the hacksaw blade
    Apparatus Hacksaw blade, G-clamp, plasticine of different masses, stopwatch and 3-
    beam balance
    Set Up
    Diagram

    Procedure 1. The apparatus is set up as shown in the diagram above


    2. A 50 g plasticine ball is fixed to one end of the blade.
    3. The blade is displaced horizontally and release, and a stopwatch is
    started simultaneously.
    4. The time taken for 20 complete oscillations is recorded and the
    period of oscillation is calculated.
    5. The experiment is repeated with mass, m= 100 g, 150 g, 200 g and 250
    g

    Tabulation of Data obtained will be tabulated in a table as shown below.
