#41 Centripetal Motion Lab
Objective: Find the mass of the object spinning in circles.
Theory: In this experimental setup gravity is responsible for the
circular motion of the mass. Therefore if we change the gravitational
force that the mass experiences, but keep the radius constant we will
change the centripetal acceleration of the object. We can ultimately
use this data to find the mass of the object.

• This is an extension of Newton’s 3rd Law: For
every action there is an equal and opposite
reaction.
• Gravity is the force of attraction between
objects with mass.
• Gravity is always pushing us (or exerting Force on
us) towards the center of the earth
We are also exerting an equal and opposite Force on the earth.

Gravity & Circular
Motion
From learning about Gravity, we know:
1. Objects in space with a large enough speed will
orbit the earth or other large objects at a constant
speed.
2. As long as nothing causes the object to lose speed
it will orbit the earth forever.
3. The object stays at the same distance from the
earth throughout the circular orbit.
From learning about Centripetal Motion, we know:
1. The speed of the object will always be
perpendicular to the direction of the force of
gravity.
2. When Gravity makes objects orbit other objects in
a circle, gravity is acting as a Centripetal Force.

#46 Gravitational Force & Acceleration in South Gate
Now that we understand what gravitational force is and how to calculate it,
we are going to extend our new knowledge to find the exact acceleration
due to gravity in South Gate and we’ll compare it to Mount Everest.
southgate
mmr.a
Theory: Gravity is supposed to be weaker in
South Gate than Mt. Everest because of Mt.
Everest’s higher elevation. Does it really
make much difference though?
- We know how to calculate the force of
gravity between 2 objects, for example Mr. A
and the Earth.
- What can we do with that force find
out the value what we consider gravity, g=
9.8m/s2 ?
- Hopefully you’re thinking Fnet=ma. If
we put the gravitational force into this
equation in place of Fnet, then the a will be
acceleration due to gravity, or g.
