Physics students investigated how centripetal force is related to an object's speed, mass, and radius of the circle. They did this by twirling a rubber stopper around their heads and measuring the force with a spring scale.

Students used scientific methods and experiences to explain observations and solve problems, which is a science program outcome at LMCS.

Students are pictured below taking part in this experiment.


Students applied Newton's three laws of motion and learned to differentiate between different types of forces, which are two course outcomes these students are expected to meet.

The class was also responsible for describing motion using definitions, graphs, and mathematical equations.
