Circular Motion

Circular Motion

Target Grade: 9-14

As you are driving and make a sharper right turn than normal, you sometimes note that the passenger beside you moves away from you. This is due to centrifugal force. The force that would keep that person from moving in that direction is called centripetal force. These forces are studied in a simple experiment. The kit meets national standards via a fun manner and allows us to study some of the basic laws of physics. The materials in this kit are recommended for up to 36 students.
