GCSE Physics Investigation on Circular Motion. Ashav Norda 11BP Title: Investigating Circular Motion Aim: The aim of this experiment is to investigate the patterns of circular motion using a rubber bung tied to the end of some fishing wire. Background Information: Newton's first law of motion says that an object's inertia will keep it from changing its speed and/or direction unless some force acts on it. This means that satellites orbiting the Earth must be feeling some force that constantly deflects them toward the centre of the Earth. If there was no force, they would travel in a straight line at a constant speed. If you whirl a ball attached to string around your head, it moves in a circular path around you because the string is always pulling the ball directly toward the hand grabbing the string. The ball wants to move in a straight line and the string is pulling it directly...
