The Centripetal Force Apparatus allows you to investigate the relationship between centripetal force, angular velocity, mass, and radius.
The Centripetal force apparatus has been replaced by the Go Direct Centripetal Force Apparatus
Description
The Centripetal Force Apparatus allows you to investigate the relationship between centripetal force, angular velocity, mass, and radius. A force sensor measures the centripetal force exerted on a mass as it moves in a circle. A photogate can be used to measure the angular speed. Different masses can be added to the platform and positioned at variable radii. The platform can be driven by a falling mass. The apparatus also accommodates the Vernier Wireless Dynamic Sensor System to measure force, which provides the best set of data. Sensors are sold separately.
