12/02 Introduction to circular motion

Today you will use a force sensor and a stopper on a string to determine the relationship between the speed of the stopper and the force required to keep it in a circle.

  • We will set the independent variable as the speed (it is hard to keep the same speed between trials), and the dependent as the force.
  • Before you start experimenting, sketch a scatter plot showing your predicted relationship.
  • Follow the Lab book guidelines on learnphysics.trampleasure.net
