*If you are absent during the day we collect data for the lab, you can take data using this simulation: PhET Pendulum Lab. Since this is a simulation, you do not need to do multiple trials for each length, etc, because there is no experimental error. Find the period for at least 10 different lengths, 10 masses, and 10 angles ( 30o or less). Don't forget to record the values you hold constant for each experiment.

Finish Motion on an Inclined Plane* - lab reports dueFri 10/16 (B1), Thu 10/17 (W3)
*READ THE LAB HANDOUT FOR INSTRUCTIONS!!!! Also read these Post Lab notes. First make a graph of position vs time using Logger Pro. Include (0,0) as a data point (zero position at zero time). You will need to linearize this graph. Once you have your equation for position vs time, follow the instructions in the lab handout to use this equation and your TI-83 calculator to get slopes of tangents to this curve (slope of tangent to a position vs time curve - instantaneous velocity). Use these numbers to then plot a velocity vs time graph. Slope of v vs t graph will then give you an acceleration vs time graph.
