Description
You will be completing a concept map after each learning activity. At the end of each unit, you will combine them to provide a comprehensive graphic organizer that summarizes the concepts of the unit. Review your concept map(s) that you have already started and then create your concept map for this learning activity. At this point you can either create a new, separate concept map for this learning activity or add these terms to your previous concept map.
Terms to include: (may be used more than once)
- Uniform circular motion
- Centripetal acceleration
- Period
- Frequency
- Radius
- Velocity
- Tangent to the circle
- Towards the centre of the circle
- Direction
- Magnitude
- Centripetal force
- Net Force
- Horizontal circle
- Vertical circle
- Banked curves
Add any other terms that you think are important
Part 2: Reflect on your Learning
After learning more about uniform circular motion and centripetal forces, you will now revisit the introductory predict-observe-explain (POE) task with which you started this learning activity.
Re-read your explanation for what you observed. Now based on your new knowledge, provide a revised explanation for the phenomenon.
Part 3: Connect your Learning
There are many applications of centripetal forces in our daily lives.
Three in particular are listed below:
- Washing machine
- Salad (leaf) spinner
- Centrifuge
