1D10.10ball in a tubePIRA 1000
1D10.10ball in a tube1D10.10Start with a ball on a string at the bottom of a vertical tube. Hold the string while moving the tube horizontally.
1D10.10ball in a tubeMb-3A ball on a string is placed in a tube and the tube displaced. The resultant is quite apparent.
1D10.10ball in a tube6-4.12Ball on a string in a hydrometer jar.
1D10.10ball in a tube6-4.8A ball on a string is placed in a clear tube and the string is displaced.
1D10.10ball in a tubeM-73A bead is pulled vertically along a rod in a frame that is pulled horizontally.
1D10.10ball in a tubeM-74A ball on a string is placed in a horizontal tube which is raised while holding the free end of the string on the table.
1D10.10velocity vector additionDisc 02-07The ball in a tube done horizontally on the table viewed from above with the camera.
1D10.20cycloid generatorPIRA 1000
1D10.20cycloid generator1D10.20A disc with a piece of chalk at the edge is rolled along the chalk tray.
1D10.20cycloid generatorMb-4A hoop with a piece of chalk fastened to the circumference is rolled along the chalk tray.
1D10.20cycloid generatorDisc 05-13Large and small cylinders are joined coaxially. A spot on the larger cylinder moves in a cycloid when the smaller cylinder is rolled on its circumference.
1D10.30inversorMb-5A mechanical device that transforms rotational motion into rectilinear motion.
1D10.31rotation and relative translationMb-6A three pronged spider in a six slotted wheel.
1D10.32rotation and translationMb-8Two blocks - one with slots and the other with pins.
1D10.40mounted wheelPIRA 1000
1D10.40mounted wheel1D10.40A large disc marked with a radial line turns about its axis.
1D10.50ball on the edge of a discPIRA 1000
1D10.50ball on the edge of a disc1D10.50A ping pong ball is stuck on the edge of a vertical rotating disc.
1D10.55circular motion on the OHTPT 2(2),81A device to turn a clear plastic disc at variable speed on the overhead projector.
1D10.55balls on a disc on the OH proj7-2.3A motorized acrylic disc with three holes for steel balls rotates on an overhead projector.
1D10.60measuring angular velocityM-4bUse an electronic strobe to measure the angular velocity of a fan blade or other rotating objects.
1D10.70disc on cart12-2.1A spinning disc mounted on a cart has a rectilinear pattern of dots. The center dot is stationary while the cart is stationary, a different dot appears stationary while moving the cart in a large circle, or while translating the cart along a track.
1D10.71spots on a globe12-2.2An inclined globe with spots is spun, rotated in an orbit while not spinning, and both rotated and spun. The spots form parallel lines perpendicular to the various angular velocity vectors.
1D10.72spots on a globe12-2.3A globe with random spots rests on rollers driven independently at variable speeds to show instantaneous center of rotation.
