Product Information

Around and around and around it goes and where it stops...everybody knows!

Your lessons on thrust, drag, weight, speed, circular motion and the physics of air flight will all get a lift with this uniform circular motion lab. The ceiling tether is attached to your ceiling with two “C” clamps. A motorized toy airplane is teathered to the end of the spring scale. When the plane is turned on it moves in a horizontal uniform circular turn. Students use Newton’s Second Law of Motion, some geometry, algebra and trigonometry to derive an equation for predicting the airplane’s lift. Developed by Jeffrey Wetherhold.

Includes instructions. Grades 11–12.
