HSVPL Centripetal Force

The Centripetal Force lab uses a centripetal force apparatus to investigate the relationships between the centripetal force on an object and the mass, velocity, and radius of revolution of the object. It is part of High School Virtual Physics Lab, a set of 24 iPad apps for use in the classroom. Funding for this project was provided under contract number ED-IES-11-C-0029 by the Institute of Education Sciences in the U.S. Department of Education through the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program.
