Question of the Week Going in Circles with Physics Physics is Phun March 2006 Government research: The Swing Rotational mechanics: Inertia, centripetal force, and centrifugal reaction Where does the ball go after it leaves the end of the tube? Click on picture for answer. F= 2 mv /r = 2 mrω F = centripetal force m = mass v = velocity r = radius ω = angular velocity As the rotational speed of the plate increases, in what order will the magnets fly off the plate? Click on picture for answer. Rotational Dynamics Gyroscopes Angular momentum L = mvr = Iω L = angular momentum m = mass v = velocity 2 I = moment of inertia = mr ω = angular velocity = v/r Pumping a Swing Pumping a Swing: Simplified Angular momentum with two components Coriolis Phenomena Smithsonian Foucault Pendulum 2-D Coriolis Effect Click on picture for experiment. 3D Coriolis effect Spirograph Nebula The End See you in May!
