Description
We will demonstrate various properties of rotational motion using the Pasco Rotating Platform attached to the Pasco Mechanical Oscillator/Driver motor. Using a three-step pulley on both the rotating platform and the motor allows several ranges of rotational speed. Measurements will be collected by a Pasco interface using a Pasco Wireless Force Acceleration Sensor and a Wireless Motion Sensor. Wireless sensors allow direct measurements of centripetal force and radial position.
