We have noted that the velocity of an object in circular motion at a constant speed is constantly changing in direction. Consequently, the object is undergoing acceleration directed toward the centre of the circle. The apparatus shown in Figure 1 is designed for you to gather data as a rubber stoppenball travels with uniform circular motion. The apparatus consists of a hollow tube that can be held vertically in your hand and twirled around, causing the rubber ball at the and of the string to revolve horizontally. The string to which the ball is attached hangs through the tube and supports various masses. The force of gravity acting on these masses (steel washers) provides the tension force needed to keep the ball moving through a circle. Figure I Question For an object in uniform circular motion, what is the relationship between the frequency of revolution and the magnitude of the force causing the motion? Hypothesis/Prediction We have learned that .. F - (m4x]r)/z Materials Use the following simulation to collect data: https //www.thephysicsaviary.com/Physics/Programs/Labs/ClassicCircularForceLab/index.html Procedure 1. A data table is provided below with room for 10 trials. You must fill a minimum of seven rows/trials. 2. Click the red arrows to set the mass to a value of your choice. Record the mass of the ball, in kilograms. Leave the mass of the ball the same throughout the activity. 3. Set the radius to some value between 0.70 m and 2.0 m. Click the masking tape several times to adjust the radius to a value of your choice. Record the radius in your data table. 4. Click the washers until you start with a minimum of 5 washers, record the mass (kg) in your data table. Note that the mass of each washer is 10 g. 5. Start the simulation and count 10 complete cycles. Record the time in your table, Repeat this measurement once more and determine the average of the two times. Calculate the frequency of revolution (#cycles/time) and complete the last two columns in the table. B. Keep the radius constant, but click the washers once (to add more). Record the new (total) mass and repeat step 5. 7. Continue adding washers until you reach the maximum in the simulation
