PASCO Centripetal Acceleration Accessory for Rotary Motion Sensor

thingiverse

Centrifugal acceleration attachment for rotational motion detector. There are three module components used to set the track at various angles (10, 15, 20 degrees). Each module has a recess where you can place a weight that serves as a counterweight. You will need a small sphere able to roll along the track, a 3.1 cm diameter mass, Rotational Motion Detector, and a stand holder. Connect a module to the axis of a Rotational Motion Detector. Attach the track to the module. Spin up the system - observe that the sphere stays at the top of the track, and slowly rolls down as the system loses energy. Place a sphere on the track and spin up the system.
