In this lesson you will create an excel model of the circular motion and then adjust if for bobs on an angle and objects on a banked track.
To start with lets review the relationships...
For our purposes we want our spread sheet to predict the velocity and then the period given the force.
Horizontal circular motion
Step 1. Rearrange the formulas to give a relationship for the velocity and period given the force, assuming the radius is set.
Step 2. Set up the spread sheet....
Step 3. Comment on formulas to make sure you see where they come from.
Step 4. Enter your experimental data.
Step 5. Compare
