Circular Motion Quiz

Today you will take a quiz on Circular Motion. Use this link to get to the quiz. You will be given feedback as soon as you answer each question.

Important: Answer 15 questions and then raise your hand for me to see your results screen. You may then return to your missed questions and make another attempt to improve your score.

Good luck!

Torque

Click on this link to open a simulation for torque using people on a see-saw. Later you will be using ExploreLearning.com to complete an activity on torque and moment of inertia.

Centripetal Motion

We know about the velocity and acceleration vectors for circular motion. Now let's talk about the term Centripetal Motion. It literally means "center seeking".

Click HERE to visit your first activity today. Answer the questions at the bottom of the page (scroll down). There are two sets. The first is about net forces and the second is about vectors.

Next we'll watch a segment of Mythbusters to discover if someone on a swing could go completely around in a circle.

Finally, complete the Centripetal Motion handout that has been given to you.
