Visit PASCO's Experiment Library to view more activities.
Centripetal, Tangential, and Angular Acceleration
A rod rotates in a horizontal plane, and is made to slow steadily to a stop. This setup is used to explore the different types of acceleration involved in this motion: centripetal, tangential, and angular acceleration.
Angular Velocity and Centripetal Acceleration
Students explore the relationship between centripetal acceleration and the rotational speed of an object.
Designing and Testing Crash Cushions
Students measure the acceleration of a cart as it collides with a solid barrier and a simple crash cushion. Students use their data and Newton's Second Law to help design and build an improved crash cushion that reduced the maximum...
