Centripetal Force on a Pendulum Experiment

Product Code: EX-5505A

Description

Students explore the relationship between mass, radius of rotation, angular velocity, and centripetal force. By continuously measuring the force and angular velocity, students see not just peak values but also how these change during the entire motion of the pendulum. Students explore sources of error and magnitude of error. A balance or scale is needed for this experiment.


Concepts

  • Centripetal force
  • Angular velocity
  • Periodic motion
