23-Sept-2014 Angular Velocity and Angular Acceleration Lab #8

For this lab we had to use an accelerometer on a spinning circle in order to calculate the average acceleration.

We timed each interval then recorded them as a class to get the average. We did this for several different speeds.

They were timed between two to four rotations depending on the speed going at the time. The formula for angular velocity is w=(2pi)/t. Once all the data was calculated we were able to input it into logger pro along with our angular acceleration (a=rw^2) to create a graph that will show us their relation to each other.
