Description
Go Direct® Centripetal Force Apparatus is designed to accommodate the Go Direct® Force and Acceleration Sensor (sold separately) for data collection. By using the force apparatus with the force and acceleration sensor, students can conduct a variety of rotational dynamics investigations with a single experiment setup. This combination easily measures angular velocity and centripetal force and acceleration without the hassle of wires. Apparatus comes with 6 masses.
Tariffs have driven up the cost of this item significantly. We apologize for the price increase. We are absorbing some of the impact to help teachers but are forced to pass most of it along.
Product Details
The Go Direct® Centripetal Force Apparatus is a rotational system mounted on a solid base that is designed to accommodate the Go Direct® Force and Acceleration Sensor (item #118020, sold separately) for data collection. When students use this apparatus with a Go Direct® Force and Acceleration Sensor, they can conduct a variety of rotational dynamics investigations with a single experiment setup. This combination easily measures angular velocity and centripetal force and acceleration without the hassle of wires. Safety Note: Always wear safety glasses when using the Go Direct® Centripetal Force Apparatus to prevent injury from the rotating beam.
Use the Go Direct® Centripetal Force Apparatus in a variety of experiments:
- Investigate circular motion by measuring centripetal acceleration in relation to the radius of rotation and angular velocity
- Explore rotational dynamics through an investigation of the force required to keep a mass in circular motion
- Explore Newton's Second Law, angular acceleration, and the moment of inertia as they relate to circular motion
