PHYS204 (PHYS204)

This lab studies the energy and forces involved in the Atwood Machine , the mechanism behind basic elevators, trams, and gondolas around the world.

This lab studies the forces and motion involved in a bouncing object in free fall under the influence of gravity, with sharp upward forces at each contact with the ground. Newton’s third law is extensively discussed, along with kinetic and potential energy and linear momentum.

In this experiment, you study the kinematics of objects moving with constant velocity or constant acceleration. You will use some of the equipment in the lab to observe and measure the position of an object moving with constant acceleration.

In this experiment you will study the stretching response of a rubber band (or a spring) and compare the observed behaviour with the predictions of Hooke’s Law.
