Patrick Henry High School - Physics Students at PHHS Study Inertial Balance

Physics students in Mrs. Eason’s Physics I class at Patrick Henry High School recently did a lab on how the period of vibration of an inertial balance relates to mass.  They learned that this could be a way to mass things even in space. Student, Chandler F., was able to participate in the data collection by listening to the impact of the balance on a piece of paper as it vibrated against a piece of paper.
