Aim Investigation of a simple pulley system through comparison of experimental and theoretical models. Introduction The motion and mechanics of a pulley system all behave according to Newtonian mechanics. In theory, all moving objects should adhere to Newton's laws of motion - and so from equations derived from these laws, we can get a mathematical model which allows us to predict the motion of the object. One of the main objectives of this investigation is …showed first 75 words of 2330 total…

…showed last 75 words of 2330 total…was not factored into the equation. I think that, with a better, more involved model, taking into account such effect, a better result set may be obtained. To what end would the above affect the results ? All the above steps would either alter the accelerations of the experimental data and the theoretical data, or improve accuracy in the data I already collected. Such steps would ensure a closer match between the model and the experiment.
