Aweaver+Spring+Lab

Spring Lab:

Procedure:
__**Part 1: Changing Mass**__ 1. Attach a 50g mass to the bottom of a spring. 2. Hang the spring from a ring stand. 3. Stretch the spring to an amplitude of 2cm and release it. 4. Record the time needed for the spring to complete 6 cycles. 5. Repeat 3 times for accuracy. 6. Use the average to calculate the approximate period. 7. Repeat steps 2-6 using masses 60g and 70g.

__**Part 2: Changing Amplitude**__ 1. Attach a 50g mass to the bottom of a spring 2. Hang the spring from a ring stand. 3. Stretch the spring to an amplitude of .05m and release it. 4. Record the time needed for the spring to complete 6 cycles. 5.Repeat 3 times for accuracy. 6. Use the average to calculate the approximate period. 7. Repeat steps 2-6 using amplitudes of .06, .07, .08 and .09 meters.
