Circular Motion

Force * change in temperature = mass * change on velocity Net force= (velocity^2 * mass) / radius Force increase = velocity increase Velocity increase = radius increase Mass increase = force increase Mass increase = velocity increase Tips: •use the pythagorean theorem when trying to solve for unknown values (Ex. Radius) Just make sure to use the conic section •use force diagrams to show the forces acting on the object (sometimes 2 are needed) In the current lab that I am doing, my group and I are trying to release a string at a certain degree so that when it falls, the string breaks. Right from the beginning, my group and I suffered from difficulties. The first string we had broke too easily. Right when we picked it up, it fell apart. As a result, we knew that it'll be inaccurate trying to determine a close value as to how much force it takes to break the string. Looking back, it is difficult doing the experiment. First off, the string did not work well at all. Second, using the fo
