Description: This demonstrates that the centripetal force required to hold an object on a rotating disk varies with radius and speed. Place an object on the rotating disk at different radii and run the motor at different speeds. Hazards: As with any rotating object, keep hair, ties, etc. away from it. Parts: One variable speed turn table One object to ride/slide Purchased/Built: built Quant. in Demo Room: 1 Demo References The Video Encyclopedia of Physics Demonstrations Disc 05-15 Place erasers on a disc at various radii and rotate until they fly off.
