1. INTRODUCTION
● OBJECTIVES
1..1 Study the motion of a body traveling with constant speed in a circular path (uniform circular
motion)
1..2 Verify the expression for centripetal acceleration and centripetal force
● THEORETICAL BACKGROUND
1..1 A constant force acting normal to the radius produces a changing direction of motion, leaving the
speed unaffected.
1..2 An object along a circular path at any given point has a linear velocity tangent to a circle
1..3 A constant Newtons First Law of Motion it would retain this linear velocity if not acted upon by
external forces.
1..4 Radial acceleration is directed toward the center (radius) which is called centripetal acceleration
1..5 F = ma
-Accordnig to Newtons Second Law, the force F required to impart an acceleration a to a mass m
- The centrally directed force F on the mass m is called a centripetal force. If one measures the
centripetal acceleration on a mass, the centripetal force can be calculated.
, 1..6 A = v^2/r
1..7 V = r(2pi * n) (n = RPS)
-The acceleration, the direction of which is in the direction of the change in velocity, is directed
toward the point. The formula shows the relationship between linear velocity v and angular
velocity w.
1..8 Ac = r(2pi *n)^2
-The acceleration is expressed in terms of the number of revolutions per second.
1..9 Fc = 4pi^2 * mn^2*r
-Used to calculate centripetal force.
1..10 F = kd
-In this experiment we are going to verify equation 2.9 by comparing the computed value of the
centripetal force using this equation with the static forced required to displace the mass by the
same radial position baded on equation 2.10. This will allow us to verify the equation shown in
2.8.
