Physics Centripetal and Centrifugal Purpose: A) To find out in which direction an object flies off, if it is spun and then released. B) to investigate how the radius affects the speed of ta spinning object. Background info: Centripetal: force pulling/pushing an object away from the center. Centrifugal: force pulling/pushing an object towards the center. Inertia: matter continues in its state of motion. Distance: the length between two points. Radius: half the distance of a circle. Materials: String, object and your hand Hypothesis: A) I think it will go forward because the objects inertia takes over the centrifugal and centripetal forces after the string is released. Inertia continues in a line of motion. B) I think if the radius is shorter, then the speed will be faster and when the radius is longer, then the speed will be slower. I think this because the closer to the center, the less distance or circumference the object has to cover. Procedure A: 1) Get an object. 2)...
