Model No. ME-9837 Discover Centripetal Force Kit radius (m) (kg) (kg) V (m/s) For each data point collected, students must: • Select and mark a predetermined radius. • Select and attach predetermined hanging and swinging masses. • Adjust the "swing speed" until the predetermined radius is attained.
Discover Centripetal Force Kit Model No. ME-9837 Velocity versus Force While using the same spinning mass and maintaining the same radius, students find the corresponding velocities for different hanging masses. A graph of Force versus Velocity should yield a square root graph and a relationship of ν...
