DATA ANALYSIS
This experiment is basically
investigate five important terms of
circular motion which are
Centripetal Force, Centripetal
acceleration, Period, Frequency and
tangential velocity. Begin with the
frequency of the carousel, we count
the number of revolution that the
merry go round complete in one
second. The value that we obtained
is about 0.31 rev per second. After
that the period can be calculated by
the formula = 1/T and also the
angular velocity =2f. The tangential
velocity and the angular velocity
are related by v=r. The value of
radius is from the measurement
which is about 14 cm. The value is
0.273 m/s. The value of tangential
velocity can be used to calculate the
centripetal acceleration by aR=v2r
with the value of 0.57 m/s2. The
final variable is the centripetal force.
Centripetal force can also calculate
from the acceleration based on
F=ma or using the tangential
velocity.

In this case, the tangential
velocity was used to calculate the
centripetal force with Fc = mv2r
formular. Only the radius the new
variable but the radius can be
measured. The centripetal force that
acted on the carousel is 0.23 N.
Based on the values obtained from
calculation and measurement parts,
they showed the relationship
between all variable in the uniform
circular motion by using formula. If
there was one value changed, it
would affect other values too.
Therefore, In this experiment, just
from determining one quantities in
circular motion, it is possible to to
determine other quantities such as
time period, angular velocity, linear
velocity and then centripetal
acceleration. Hence, these
information can improve that all
variable in uniform circular motion
is related to each other.

Based on the values obtained from
the calculation and from
measurement, the values of the period
differ slightly. The value of the period
from measurement was from
counting the number of times of
oscillation to get the frequency and
then take the inverse of it, which was
0.83s. The value from a calculation,
on the other hand, was 0.89s. This
was obtained using the formula
T=2l/g. Due to this, the calculated
percent difference between the two
values is 7 %. From obtained results,
the values of the period from
calculation tend to be more accurate
than that from a measurement.
This is because the measurement of
the length of the wood suspending
the mass tend to be more accurate
than observing a mass oscillate. In
observing the mass oscillate, the
observer requires a very reactive
response to completion of oscillation.
Therefore, more chances of error can
occur when measuring the actual
time of oscillation rather than using a
formula for calculation. The error
could have also resulted from the
irregular shaking of pendulum left
and right, which was not supposed to
happen.
For the values of the frequency of
oscillation also differs slightly
between the one obtained from the
calculation and actual measurement.
The value of a frequency of
oscillation obtained from
measurement was from counting the
number of times the mass complete a
cycle per second, which was 1.2 Hz.
The value obtained by calculation, on
the other hand, was 1.11 Hz using the
formula F=1/2g/l. Due to this, the
calculated percent difference between
the two values is 7.8 %. From obtained
results, the values of frequency from
calculation tend to be more accurate
than that from a measurement. This
is because the measurement of a
length of the wood suspending the
mass tend to be more accurate than
observing a mass oscillate.

 Similar to a measurement of a
period, observing the oscillation of
mass require a reactive response to
completion of oscillation to be to
record the data accurately.
Therefore, more chance of error can
occur when measuring the number
of oscillation rather than using the
formula for calculation. Another
potential error that might have led
to differences is that the mass was
shaking occasionally left to right.
Conclusion
Carousel
In conclusion, the value that
obtained from the calculation
and the experiment this help us
also the relationship between
all the variables and also all the
physical measurements.
Seemingly, all the variables is
related and that make the
formula of each variable also
related to each other. Moreover,
the model, the experiment and
the calculation show us that
how each variable is affect to
another variable.
Pendulum Ship
In conclusion, the values
obtained that was
demonstrated through
calculation and measurement
showed very close values but
still different. From the
construction of model and
performing calculation
regarding its oscillation, the
results have helped us
understand the possible causes
of differences in values from
calculation and physical
measurement. The causes of
errors were potentially from
model that might not be strong
enough to hold the mass
perfectly linear when
oscillating.
