Student puts string through handle, spins rubber stopper around and balances that with the masses at the bottom of the string.
Activity allows students to study how mass and radius affect centripetal acceleration and rotational velocity
Easy fund demonstration of centripetal force
Description
This elegantly simple kit provides the necessary tools to discover properties of rotational dynamics. A rubber stopper swings around on the end of a string counter balanced by weights, allowing students to see how mass and radius affect centripetal acceleration and rotational velocity
