chapter 16

Question 1

angular velocity

Answer 1

w = 2π / t or 2π x F

Question 2

speed of an object moving in a circle

Answer 2

v = w x r

Question 3

centripetal acceleration

Answer 3

a = v^2 / r = w^2 / r

Question 4

centripetal force

Answer 4

f = (m x w^2) / r = (m x v^2)/ r

Question 5

experiement to investigate centripetal motion

Answer 5

tie a bung with mass to a rope put this rope through a glass tube with paper clip on other end tie a weight to the bottom. the weight of the weight provides a centripetal force for the mass to spin . change mass and investigate time it takes to go around the circle.
