Centripetal Acceleration and Force

Centripetal Acceleration and Force

  • Calculate the theoretical linear (tangential) velocity of a mass moving in a horizontal circle.
    Measure the angular frequency of a mass moving in a horizontal circle.
  • Experimentally determine the linear (tangential) velocity of a mass moving in a horizontal circle.
  • Calculate the percent error in the linear (tangential) velocity of a mass moving in a horizontal circle by comparing the theoretical and experimental values.
  • Evaluate how the centripetal acceleration of a mass moving in a horizontal circle is affected by changing the radius of the circle.
  • Evaluate how the centripetal acceleration of a mass moving in a horizontal circle is affected by varying the hanging mass.
  • Evaluate how the centripetal force of a mass moving in a horizontal circle is affected by changing the radius of the circle.
  • Evaluate how the centripetal force of a mass moving in a horizontal circle is affected by varying the hanging mass.
