Cut the String, 1D55.15

Topic and Concept:

Motion in Two Dimensions, [:MotionIn2D#CentrifugalEscape: 1D55. Centrifugal Escape]

Location:

Cabinet: [:MechanicsCabinet:Mechanic (ME)]
Bay: [:MechanicsCabinetBayA9:(A9)]
Shelf: #1
attachment:BallCutString03-400.jpg

Abstract:

Using a homemade apparatus, a ball is put into a circular trajectory. A string connecting the ball to a rotating arm is quickly cut, and the ball flies off tangent to the original trajectory.

Discussion:

Using a homemade apparatus, a ball is put into a circular trajectory with the centripetal force being provided by a rotating rod. A string connecting the ball to the rod is quickly cut, and the ball immediately assumes a linear trajectory tangent to the original trajectory in accordance with Newton's first law.
