FLY WHEEL EXPERIMENT APPARATUS

In this physics experiment, we will explore the principles of rotational motion using a flywheel. A flywheel is a mechanical device that stores rotational energy, and it plays a crucial role in various applications, from engines to energy storage systems. By setting the flywheel in motion and measuring its angular velocity, we can observe how factors such as mass distribution and radius affect its inertia. During the experiment, we will use a string and pulley system to apply a controlled torque to the flywheel, allowing us to calculate the resulting acceleration and understand the relationship between torque, angular momentum, and kinetic energy. This hands-on investigation not only reinforces fundamental concepts of physics but also demonstrates the practical applications of rotational dynamics in real-world scenarios. Through careful observation and data analysis, we will gain deeper insights into the fascinating behavior of rotating objects.
