Go Direct Centripetal Force Apparatus can be used 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.
When students use the Go Direct Centripetal Force 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.
Go Direct Centripetal Force Apparatus (without sensor):
• Base with adjustable feet
• Bearing and spindle
• Rotating beam
• Sensor bracket
• Mass carriage with thumb screws
• Mass carriage with bearings
• 50 g masses (2)
• 100 g masses (4)
