Centripetal Acceleration and Force

Today we introduced centripetal acceleration and centripetal force. We'll be doing a lot more with these next week.

Notes: Centripetal Acceleration and Force

Homework is Chapter 7 (p. 228) #17, 18, 22

You were also given an FRQ to work on which you will be correcting yourself on Monday/Tuesday (email miss.volkening@gmail.com for a copy). You'll be actually doing the lab described in that FRQ, so try to think of a procedure for getting the type of data they used. More details on the lab are here: Finding g With Centripetal Force.

Below is the work for an example problem in the notes.
