Think about the lab stations you have completed so far.
- In what direction does the force act that keeps an object moving in a circle?
- In what direction is the motion (velocity) of an object that is moving in a circle?
Learning Goal: I can
- ...explain the difference between rotating and revolving.
- ...describe centripetal force, give examples, and relate it to Newton’s Laws of Motion.
- ...describe the difference between centripetal force and “centrifugal force”.
- ...describe and apply Newton’s Law of Universal Gravitation to various situations.
- ...use Newton’s Law of Gravitation to explain weightlessness, ocean tides, and black holes.
Today:
- Finish Circular Motion Activity
- Work on Circular Motion Interactive on your own or with a partner. Using a connected device, go to this page for the web app. Record results/answers in your notes.
Assignment:
- Circular Motion & Gravitation Packet.
- See me ASAP about a retest.
