Simple Handheld Centripetal Force Kit

The Simple Hand Held Centripetal Force Kit provides the components needed to investigate rotational dynamics in a classroom setting. The kit includes a hollow plastic grip handle, a length of string, 20 washers, 2 paper clips, and a rubber stopper. Students thread the string through the handle, spin the rubber stopper overhead, and counterbalance it with washers at the opposite end. By varying mass and radius, students observe how these factors affect centripetal acceleration and rotational velocity, reinforcing fundamental concepts in circular motion.
