Driving Question:
How does Inertia effect liquid?
Description:
The Centripetal Motion Demonstration uses water with food coloring to demonstrate inertia in action.The Rotational Acceleration Tank demonstrates a centrifuge when used on the Rotational Platform. Observing the shape of the red liquid in the tank, students can better understand rotational motion and its relationship to centripetal force. The water is contained in a glass tank with a rotating base that spins on its y-axis to show the centripetal acceleration at work.
