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…Read More

11/22 Force and change in direction

We have mostly discussed forces as changing the magnitude of the velocity of an object. In this unit, we will examine and quantify the relationship between forces and a change in direction. The relationship between force, mass, and acceleration has been modeled mathematically as: a = Fnet/m When the value…Read More
