Circular Motion and the Flying Pig
Posted on January 1, 2011 by Paul Robinson
The Flying Pig provides students with a fun way to study circular motion. The pig and its string trace a conical pendulum and allow a perfect opportunity for calculations and measurements of circular motion. Students should be familiar with forces, specifically centripetal force, and how it is calculated. Students should also know the definitions of the fundamental trigonometric functions and how they can be used to find the sizes of parts of a right triangle.This post was posted in Labs, Forces and was tagged with pendulum, circular motion, flying pig, centripetal force
