4 What is centripetal force? Centripetal Force (F c ) Some physical force pushing or pulling the object towards the of the circle. The word "centripetal" is merely an adjective used to describe the of the force. Without the centripetal force, the object will move in a line. Centripetal force is any force that causes an object to move in a circle. To calculate centripetal force: F c =mv 2 /R To calculate centripetal acceleration: a c =v 2 /R v 2 a c R Give three examples of centripetal force. As a car makes a turn, the force of acting upon the turned wheels of the car provide the centripetal force required for circular motion. As the moon orbits the Earth, the force of acting upon the moon provides the centripetal force required for circular motion. What three factors affect the centripetal force of an object moving in a circle? In the picture below Stewie swings Peter in a circle. Label the following with arrows: the direction of the centripetal force, the direction of Peter s acceleration, and the direction Peter would travel if Stewie let go. 4 Page

5 But what about centrifugal forces? There is no such thing! The sensation of an outward force and an outward acceleration is a false sensation. For example, if you are in a car make a right turn, while the car is accelerating inward, your body continues in a line. If you are sitting on the passenger side of the car, then eventually the outside door of the car will hit you as the car turns inward. In reality, you are continuing in your straight-line inertial path tangent to the circle while the car is accelerating out from under you. It is the of your body - the tendency to resist acceleration - which causes it to continue in its forward motion. There is no physical object capable of pushing you outwards. You are merely experiencing the tendency of your body to continue in its path to the circular path along which the car is turning. F c =mv 2 /R v 2 Class Work 1.

8 Rotate vs. Revolve What is the difference between rotating and revolving? An object rotates about its axis when the axis is internal. List three examples of an object that rotates: An object revolves when it moves around an external axis. List three examples of an object that revolves: Angular Speed vs. Linear Speed Angular speed is the rate at which something turns. The rpm, or rotation per minute, is commonly used for angular speed. Angular Speed = # rotations time Or Angular Speed = # revolutions time Linear speed is the distance traveled per unit of time. Linear Speed = Linear Speed = 2πR(# rotations) time Or 2πR(# rotations) time 8 Page

9 Angular vs. Linear Speed How is the angular and linear speed of the Burt and Ernie below similar or different? Burt Ernie Each point on a rotating object has the same angular speed thus Burt and Ernie have the same angular speed. The linear speed of a person on a merry-go-round is the distance traveled around the circle divided by the time. The linear speed depends on the radius of the circle in which the person moves. Burt moves in a circle with the largest radius, so his linear speed is the fastest. Two people sitting at different places on the same merry go-round always have the same angular speed. But the person sitting farther from the center has the faster linear speed. Class Work 1. A wheel makes 10 revolutions in 5 seconds. Find its angular speed in rotations per second. 2.

12 Introduction to Circular Motion Research Question What factors will affect the circular motion of an object? Hypothesis Predict what factors you think will affect the motion of an object in circular motion? Materials 8 elastic bands, balance, meterstick, plastic bottle marked at the 150 ml level, 14 oz. plastic drinking cup with three equally spaced holes below the rim, stopwatch. Procedure 1. The device shown is referred to as a cupsling. 2. Carefully measure 50 ml of water into the plastic cup. Make sure that no water spills. 3. Place the cupsling on a balance, and record its mass with appropriate units. 4. Make sure that the area is clear of obstacles and slowly spin the full cupsling about you in a full circle. Slightly increase the speed until you can spin it so that the cup moves in a horizontal circle. Try to see how slowly you can spin the cupsling and still consistently maintain a horizontal circle. Be careful not to spill or splash any water. 5. With the stopwatch, time 10 complete circles of the cup as you swing it slowly around in a horizontal circle. Record this measurement in the data table. 6. Estimate the radius of the cup s horizontal path at this speed using the meterstick. Get as precise an estimate as possible. Record this measurement in the data table. 7. Repeat the above steps, spinning the cupsling faster than before but not so fast that the bands will break. Remember to consistently maintain a horizontal circle throughout the experiment. Record this measurement in the data table. 8. Empty the cup. Refill it with 100 ml of water. Find the mass of the cupsling with the water and record this mass in the data table. 9. Repeat the procedure, measuring the time for 10 circles and the radius when you swing it slowly around in a horizontal circle. Record the measurements in the data table. 10. Repeat the steps above for 150 ml, 200 ml, and 250 ml of water.

13 Data Table: Trial Mass of cupsling and water (kg) Time for 10 cycles (s) Period (s) Radius (m) Analysis Questions 1. Did you need to exert a force on the elastic band to start spinning the cupsling from rest? 2. Did you need to continue exerting a force on the elastic band to keep it spinning at a constant speed? How did you know? 3. When the cupsling moved in a circle, it was changing direction all the time. What caused the cupsling to change direction? 4. When the cupsling moved in a circle at constant speed, did it accelerate? Explain. 5. Where do you think the cup would go if the band were released while the cup was spinning? Draw an arrow on the top view of your circular path to represent the motion of the cupsling if release at the position shown: 6. What happened to the length of the elastic band as you increased the force to spin the cupsling in a horizontal circle? 7. What happened to the length of the elastic band as the speed increased? 8. What happened to the force of the elastic band as the speed increased? 9. What happened to the length of the elastic band when you increased the mass in the cup? 10. How did the increase in mass affect the force on the elastic band? 11. If a mass moves in a straight line and more mass is added, does the inertia increase, decrease, or stay the same? 12. Do you think that the same thing happens to a body in circular motion? Explain.

14 Activity The Flying Pig Research Question: What factors affect the angular and linear speed of a flying pig? Procedure: 1. Setup the Flying Pig. Be careful not to damage their delicate wings as you click them into their fixedwing position. 2. Carefully hold the pig by its body and give it a slight shove about 30 degrees from the vertical, just enough so that the pig flies in a circle. The goal is to launch the pig tangent to the circle of flight. It is better to launch it too easy than too hard. If the pig does not fly in a stable circle in 10 seconds or so, carefully grab it and try launching it again. 3. Once the pig is up and flying in a circle of constant radius, measure the radius of the circle as accurately as you can. 4. Count the number of revolutions the pig makes for the time intervals in the data table below. 5. Calculate the following for each trial: a. Angular speed: The number of revolutions per time. If the pig makes 2 revolutions in one second then the angular speed is 2 revolutions per second. If the pig makes 8 revolutions in 4 seconds then the angular speed is 8 revolutions/4 seconds = 2 revolutions per second. b. Linear Speed (v): 2πR/t c. Centripetal Acceleration (a c ): v 2 /R Data Table Pig # Revolutions Time (s) Angular Speed (revolutions per second) Linear Speed (m/s) Centripetal Acceleration (m/s 2 )

15 Center of Gravity For a given body, the center of mass is the average of all the mass that makes up the object. A symmetrical object like a ball can be thought of as having all of its mass concentrated at its geometric center; by contrast, an irregularly shaped object such as a baseball bat has more of its mass toward one end. Center of gravity is the same thing as the center of mass, except specifically referring to an object under the influence of. The terms are effectively synonymous and we will use the abbreviation for short, when consideration of this position is necessary. The of a uniform object, such as a meter stick, is at its, for the stick acts as though its entire weight were concentrated there. Support at that single point supports the whole stick. Holding an object provides a simple method of locating its CG. The CG of any freely suspended object lies directly beneath (or at) the point of. The CG may be a point where no point. For example, the center of mass of a ring or a hollow sphere is at the geometrical center where no matter exists. Similarly, the center of mass of a boomerang is outside the physical structure, not within the material making up the boomerang.

16 Directions: Answer the following questions in complete sentences. 1. Why does the Leaning Tower of Pisa not topple? Use the picture below for a clue. 2. How can you design objects to reduce the likelihood of tipping? 3. Decide which of the following trucks will tip over. Explain why. 4. Will the pipe below fall over? Explain why or why not.

17 Lab - Center of Gravity Physics Research Question What factors determine the stability of an object (ie whether or not an object will topple)? Write a prediction in response to the research question. Be sure to supply your reasoning, which should include a definition of the center of gravity and any examples that you can provide to support your ideas. Some examples could be why the Leaning Tower of Pisa doesn t rotate and topple over. Another could be why you can balance a toy bird on your finger. Procedure 1. You will be moving around with a partner to the 10 different stations listed on the back of this page. At each station, follow the instructions printed on the paper. 2. In each case, you will first generate a prediction or hypothesis. Make sure to briefly explain your reasoning! 3. Record your observations in a systematic and organized way. You should make annotated drawings, an observations table with a checklist, or any other method that will work for you. 4. Go to as many stations as possible during the lab period. Some take longer than others so please do not rush a group that is working slowly. When possible, there are double set-ups, so wait your turn to get to an empty station.
