    Centripetal Force Board – Sick Science! #191

    When you swing a bucket of water over your head, you probably expect a big, wet rush of water to soak you as the bucket goes upside down. However, if you were swinging the bucket fast enough, nothing happens. What in the world?!? Well, we have a pretty incredible physics demonstration to help you understand just why you remain dry. It’s called the Centripetal Force Board, and it will help you experience the physics and forces at play when three plastic cups of water leave you high, dry, and with new hands-on science topics in mind.

  • Centripetal Force Penny – Sick Science! #157

    Centripetal Force Penny – Sick Science! #157

    Find out how this works at: http://www.stevespanglerscience.com/lab/experiments/centripetal-force-penny

    As a penny balances precariously on the hook of a wire hanger, you might think any sort of movement would send the penny flying. With a bit of physics know-how, you can spin the entire hanger around in a circle without losing the 1¢ coin. When it comes down to it, you just need to thank Sir Isaac Newton.

  • Centripetal Force – Cool Science Experiment

    Centripetal Force – Cool Science Experiment

    Check out this and other cool science experiments at http://www.stevespanglerscience.com/experiments/ Learning about Newton’s Laws of Motion is anything but boring. Grab a clear balloon and a penny and learn about interia and centripetal force (that’s right… it’s centripetal – not centrifugal). Once you’ve mastered the Spinning Penny demo, you’ll need to move Netwon’s Waiter Tray – a spinning tray of glasses. As you’ll see in this video, everything went just fine until the spinning waiter’s tray accidentally hit the lady’s leg… and then the demo turned into flying glasses of water!
