Walter Fendt Physics Applets: Model of a Carousel (Centripetal Force)

Detail Page «

Website Detail Page

written by Walter Fendt

This applet demonstrates the forces acting on a mass rotating on a carousel. The period, distance between the suspension points and the axis of rotation, length of the rope, and mass can be set by the user. The resultant motion is displayed. A free-body diagram for the masses and numerical values for the quantities involved are given.

This applet is a part of a large collection of physics applets available in a variety of languages.

Please note that this resource requires at least version 1.4.2 of Java.

4. The Physical Setting

4F. Motion

K-2: 4F/P1. Things move in many different ways, such as straight, zigzag, round and round, back and forth, and fast and slow.

4G. Forces of Nature

3-5: 4G/E1. The earth's gravity pulls any object on or near the earth toward it without touching it.
