VERNIER CENTRIPETAL FORCE APPARATUS
Vernier's Centripetal Force Apparatus allows you to investigate the relationship between centripetal force, angular velocity, mass and radius.

A force sensor measures the centripetal force exerted on a mass as it moves in a circle. A photogate can be used to measure the angular speed. Different masses can be added to the platform and positioned at variable radii. The platform can be driven by a falling mass.
The apparatus also accommodates the Vernier Wireless Dynamic Sensor System to measure force, which provides the best set of data.

Sensors are sold separately.




Note: Due to its size and weight this product attracts extra freight costs.
