I. Investigating the damping of vibrational motion

Imagine that a pendulum is set swinging. What will happen to these vibrations as time passes? Now imagine an object hanging from a spring. The object is pulled downward and released so that it vibrates up and down. What will happen to these vibrations as time passes? They diminish, eventually stopping entirely. This phenomenon is called ‘damping’. Design an experiment to investigate this damping effect quantitatively. Your goal is to discover a pattern and represent it as a mathematical relationship (i.e. an equation).

Available equipment: Ring stand, clamp, spring, object to hang from the spring, meter stick, scale, motion sensor connected to Logger Pro, stopwatch, masking tape, index cards.

II. Testing the mathematical relationship

Design an experiment to quantitatively test the mathematical relationship you discovered in the previous experiment.

Available equipment: Same as above.

This is all that is given for the lab. We need help coming up with the experiment and mathematical equations to use.
