CENTRIPETAL MOTION ON RIDES
What is the tangential (linear) speed of the Whirly Gig?
What do we need to know?
What is the tangential (linear) speed of the Whirly Gig?
What do we need to know?
• Radius of the swing:
• Time for 1 revolution at maximum speed:
What is the tangential (linear) speed of the Whirly Gig?
What do we need to know?
• Radius of the swing:
Let's say the radius from the center to the
outer swing is 8 m.
• Time for 1 revolution at maximum speed:
Let's say the time for 1 revolution is 7.00 s.
What is the tangential (linear) speed of the Whirly Gig?
Equation:
Equation:
V = 2π R
