Radius of a circle/speed traveling at I am going to investigate whether the radius of a circle affects the speed it travels at around the circumference. Method I will take a piece of string and attach a rubber bung to the end of it. I will string a small piece of copper tubing onto the string and attach a 100g weight to the opposite end to the bung. I will mark on my string 15 measurements, each being 5 cms apart, ranging from 5cm - 75cm. I will make the length of string from the bung to the copper tubing at the first mark; 5cms. I will then swing the rubber bung around for 10 revolutions; timing the length of time it takes with a stop-clock. I will record this time in a results table.
