115L Lab One
Using Physical Principles and Measurements to Make a Prediction:
Target Practice with the Ballistic Pendulum
1 Introduction
Physics is an important science largely because it allows us to make accurate
predictions of objects’ behaviors in different situations. This idea has been
applied in the engineering of buildings, vehicles, and energy production. It is
used to design aircraft, plan space missions and execute battle plans in warfare.
In the first part of this lab you will make use of two of the most valuable
principles of physics, along with a couple basic measurements, to determine the
speed of the ball launched by the spring gun in your ballistic pendulum. In the
second part, you will calculate the point where the ball will strike when it is
fired without the catching pendulum in place. You will fire the gun to test the
accuracy of your predictions. Finally, you will do some simple analysis of the
cause of any inaccuracy in your calculated targeting.
Tips for success:
• Make all your measurements as carefully as possible.
The more accurate your measurements are, the closer you will
come to hitting your target.
• Pay attention to units.
Calculations require that all units match for the numbers to come
out right. For example, a distance may be recorded in meters,
centimeters, inches, miles, etc. The distance is fixed, but the
value of the number used to record it can vary greatly.
2 Using Conservation of Momentum and Con-
servation of Energy to measure the initial ve-
locity of the ball
Test fire your ballistic pendulum 3 or 4 times, observing the parts and
how the mechanism works.
Be very careful not to get in the path of the ball!
Directly measuring the ball’s velocity as it is fired by the ballistic pendulum
would be very difficult. However, since there are some physical properties that
are conserved, meaning that the total amount cannot change–only the form can
change or there can be a transfer from one object to another, the ball’s speed
can be determined quite accurately with only a couple simple measurements
1
and a couple short calculations.
How could you go about measuring the ball’s speed as it launches from
the ballistic pendulum?
Why would it be hard to use that method with this equipment?
2.1 Tracking the Energy
The act of firing the ball from the ballistic pendulum, and the different forms
that the energy involved takes during the process, can be viewed in four distinct
steps:
• Loading
• Firing
• Collision between the ball and pendulum
• Swing of the pendulum
Loading. To load the ballistic pendulum, you have to push the ball back
against a very stiff spring. In the process of doing this you use some of the
energy stored in your body. Once the pendulum is loaded, the energy that you
gave up is now stored in the compressed spring.It would be difficult to make
a measurement of the energy leaving your body during the compression of the
spring, but it is quite easy to put a number on the ener.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

2. Stability
Stability of an object refers to the
ability to maintain its original form.
Stable : if it returns to its original
position when tilted and released.
Unstable : if it continues to move
further than its original position
after being tilted and released.
3. Point of Equilibrium
An object is said to be in equilibrium
when it is stationary or at rest.
Is also its centre of gravity.
4. What is Centre of Gravity
(CoG)?
Definitions :
The point where the Earth’s gravity acts
on that object.
The point on which the whole weight of
an object appears to act.
6. CoG for regular and uniform
objects
The geometrical centre of some common
shapes-
This is also where the centre of gravity and
the object’s weight, W, can be considered
to act
7. CoG for a triangle
The centre of gravity (and
geometrical centre) is found by
drawing a line from the corner to the
opposite line’s midpoint
8. Irregular objects
1. Hang the string and a plumb line
from a pin as shown. Mark the
position of the plumb line with a
pencil.
1. Repeats the process again, but
this time place the pin at a
different location, and mark the
position of the plumb line string.
1. Where the two pencil lines cross
is the centre of gravity of the
shape.

11. Irregular objects
When more than one material makes
up an object the centre of gravity will
be affected.
The CoG can be outside the object.
13. Factors affecting stability
2 factors :
The position of its centre of gravity.
Its base area.
The lower the centre of gravity, the
more stable the object.
The larger the base area of an object,
the more stable the object.
15. Double decker bus
1. The bus opposite has a low
centre of gravity since
there is a large weight in
the lower section of the
bus. This means that the
force of gravity will act
through the base of the bus
to keep it on the road.
16. Double decker bus
The bus opposite has a high
centre of gravity since there
is a large weight in the top
section of the bus. Due to the
high centre of gravity this bus
is unstable because the
centre of gravity is acting
outside the base of the bus.
18. Improving the stability of
objects
2 ways:
Lowering its CoG.
Reducing its height.
Attaching a heavy weight onto its base.
Increasing its base area.
21. Why does the object balance?
Linked to Principle of Moments
Anti- Clockwise Moment = Clockwise Moment
The Humble
metre rule
When the object is suspended from a point
it will come to rest when the clockwise
moment is equal to the anti clockwise
moment
23. As these guys melt their CoG
changes and they roll over!

25. Learning Intentions
By the end of the lesson we will be able
to…
Understand the term Centre of
Mass/Gravity (CoG)
Recognise the factors that affect an
object’s CoG
Investigate how to find the CoG of an
irregular object.
26. When an object is suspended
When an object is suspended, so that
it can swing freely, it will come to rest
with its CoG vertically below the
point of suspension
See Page 52 and 53 for extra notes in the book
27. Balancing Act!
Now, try to balance the object at that
point…
c
a
b
Question- explain in terms of moments why
the object can be balanced at this point?
Answer- on one side of the point of CoG, the object’s weight is causing a
turning effect. This is counter balanced on the other side where the
weight is causing a turning effect in the opposite direction.
28. Example
1 m long spade balances in a string loop when
the loop is 30 cm from the end of the blade.
2 kg
A 2 kg mass is placed at the handle and the
balance point is at the centre of the spade.
What is the mass of the spade?
29. Learning Intentions
By the end of the lesson we will be able
to…
Recall how the stability of an object
depends on the…
position of the centre of gravity
size of the object’s base
30. Stability
An object will be in STABLE
EQUILIBRIUM when it returns to its
original position after given a small
displacement
32. Stability

33. • An object becomes unstable when its Centre of
Gravity falls outside of the object’s base.
Why?
All of the object’s weight can be considered as acting
through the CoG. If this acts outside the base then it
will cause a turning effect or a moment
34. The Traffic Cone
A great example of a
VERY stable object.
What features of the
cone make it so
stable?
-Low Centre of Gravity
-Wide base
38. The Double Decker Bus
Each of the diagrams on the

39. Delete a word to complete the
sentences
If more people sit upstairs on the bus
the CoG will rise/fall. This will make
the bus more stable/unstable and it
can be tilted by a greater/lesser angle
The bus will fall over when the CoG
acts inside/outside of the bus’ base
A stable object has a low/high CoG
and a narrow/wide base
Metre rule each, there are three different edges that is possible to balance the rule on. Try to find out what they are and balance the rule on each of the edges. If an imaginary line was to be marked vertically along each of the axis that the ruler was balanced on, where would the exact point be that all three line crossed? This is the point where the ruler’s centre of Gravity is located.

Lake Tasman where the terminal merrain of the Tasman glacier is located in NZ, South Island close to Mount Cook in McKenzie country. The end of the glacier has large chunks of ice that randomly break away and float in the lake. This is ice is thousands of years old as it has slowly inched its way down the Tasman valley to finally end its journey in the lake.
The water lapping against the iceberg melts the edges and also the Sun’s energy changes the shape of the mass. The iceberg will have to tilt or turn over slightly to re-balance itself and the underside of the iceberg becomes visible when this happens. The surface and colour of the underside is very different from the stained, sun-beaten exposed side.
The smooth deep blue colour is partially transparent and it is possible to see the pieces of rock suspended in the iceberg which the glacier would have ripped from the sides of the valley as it rubbed up against the edges.

Buskers’ festival – they love to show off how great their stability is…
Put the cones in order of stability (come back to why they are in that order in a few slides time!)
Why does the drinking bird alternate between being stable and toppling over? Can you explain this in term of moments, the turning effect of a force? Where is the pivot, what is the force causing the turning?
As soon as the ‘weight’ is concentrated more in the bird’s head he then becomes unstable and topples over.
A turning effect of a force/moment is needed to cause the object to rotate.
Why does the can roll up hill? The CoG acts vertically down, but if it acts outside the object’s base then it will cause the object to rotate in that direction, i.e. the can moves up hill due to the extra 100 g mass which changes where its CoG’s location is.
The same is true for the bird. The bird’s CoG has in fact moved up and over. Once it acts outside the base of the bird, he tips over.
Check out the weebles- also masters of stability, impossible to topple over!
Back to the starting activity
Board sports require stability and a low CoG. The CoG is continually shifting to direct the board and the rider. The back needs to be kept straight while the hips, knees and ankles provide all the turning. The head too needs to be kept still and in line with the core so that it doesn’t cause any unbalance. As soon as the CoG acts outside the area of the board, the rider is in danger of losing control.
Rock climbing too relies on the body’s position and the potential turning effect of the body’s weight. Whenever a hand-hold is used as a pivot, the body’s CoG will need to be shifted closer to the hold before the climber’s fatigue cause them to let go. The body needs to be flexible to quickly position itself and reduce the size of the turning effect.
Some of the World’s greatest footballers, fantastic dribblers with close control and nearly impossible to topple over due to their low CoG. Pocket rockets who are small yet unstoppable because they have such precise balance.
