Unit 6: Circular Motion: Torque, centripetal force, and gravity

Reading (weeks 10-12)
BJU book: Ch. 7 "Circular Motion"
AP students additional reading: Princeton Review "Uniform Circular Motion" - read applicable sections. 

Topics
  1. ​Rotational equilibrium and torque problems
  2. Centripetal force and gravity problems

Labs
  • Centripetal Force lab
YouTube is full of Perpetual Motion machines. They are all FAKE.  They generate millions of 'hits' and make money for people. Here is one of my favorites...  The video on the right shows how it's 'faked'.
