On the Curves
Section 4.6
Investigate: Part A Toy Car with String What kept it moving in a circle? What happened when you let go of
the string? Which way did the string pull?
Investigate: Part A
Car on Road What keeps it moving in a circle? Which way would it move if nothing
keeps it moving in a circle?
Investigate: Part A
Car on Road Vectors
Investigate: Part B
What happened as you spun the stopper faster?
What happened as you made the string shorter?
What happened when you added more mass?
Investigate: Part C
Fc = mv2/R
Fc: Centripetal Forcem: Massv: VelocityR: Radius
Investigate: Part C
The gentler the curve, the _____ the force required to keep the car moving along the curve.
If the curve is tight (R is very small) then a _____ is required
Physics TalkCentripetal Force and Newton’s First Law
Centripetal Force and Newton’s Second Law
Physics TalkHow to find acceleration of an object moving in a circlea = v2/R
Physics TalkWhat keeps an object moving in a circle?
VocabularyCentripetal Force – a force directed towards the center that causes an object to follow a circular path.
VocabularyCentripetal Force: PracticeA roller coaster car is traveling east at 20 m/s. After 16 s, it is traveling north at 20 m/s. The circular curve had a radius of 200 m. Calculate the acceleration of the car.
Physics TalkCentripetal Force When you held the string of the toy
car? When a roller coaster car is upright? When a roller coaster car is tilted? When a car is on the road?
Physics TalkCentripetal Force IT IS NOT AN ADDITIONAL FORCE!!!

of track)At the top of the loop 5000 N 1000 N
At the bottom of the loop
9000 N 10,000 N

Physics TalkClothoid loop - a loop with a big radius at the bottom and a small radius at the top
Physics TalkClothoid loop: WHY?!
Physics TalkSAFETY!!!What is the cutoff for “g’s”?WHY?!
