- Description
Description
Students explore the relationship between mass, radius of rotation, tangential speed, and centripetal force. By continuously measuring the force as the speed is varied, students clearly see the effect of speed on the centripetal force. The effect of changing the mass or radius is also investigated.
Concepts
- How centripetal force depends on radius, mass, and speed
