Aim:

• Determine the acceleration of an object undergoing uniform circular motion.

• Use position, velocity, acceleration, and force as vector quantities.

• Use forces to make quantitative predictions for objects in circular motion

Hypothesis:

If the velocity of the object is increased enough, the mass and weight will cancel out and remain balanced.

Materials:

1. Plastic Tubing2. Tape3. Stopwatch4. String5. Mass6. Rubber Band7. Washers

Discussion:

We were supposed to accurately measure the revolutions per minute whilst the mass and weight are in equilibrium. We were able to measure the last revolution to measure 23cm in length after we stopped the stopwatch and carefully measured.

Conclusion:

My Hypothesis was correct this is because that the data supplied indicates that the hypothesis is true. I learnt that in circular motion that the object in circular motion has an inward force towards the centre, this is called centripetal force.
