<strong>Phys</strong>ics Labs with Computers, Vol. 1<strong>Student</strong> <strong>Workbook</strong>P23: Conservation of Angular Momentum 012-07000AUse the Rotary Motion Sensor to measure the angular speed of a rotating disk before and after asecond disk that is not rotating is dropped onto the rotating disk. Use DataStudio orScienceWorkshop to record and display the angular speed before and after the torque-freecollision.PART I: Computer Setup1. Connect the ScienceWorkshop interface to thecomputer, turn on the interface, and turn on thecomputer.2. Connect the Rotary Motion Sensor’s stereophone plugs into Digital Channels 1 and 2 on theinterface. Remove the ‘O’ ring from the largegroove on the step pulley on the sensor.3.

Read the instructions inthe workbook.• Data recording is set at 20 Hz. The Rotary Motion Sensor is set for 360 divisions perrotation.• See the pages at the end of this activity for information about modifying aScienceWorkshop file.PART II: Sensor Calibration and Equipment Setup• You do not need to calibrate the sensor.1. Mount the Rotary Motion Sensor on a support rod so the step pulley is on top.2. Remove the thumbscrew from the step pulley on top of the Rotary Motion Sensor. Placethe disk on the pulley and attach the disk with the thumbscrew.p. 162 ©1999 PASCO scientific P23
