Description
Use an angular data logging device to measure the rotational motion of a different objects. Introduces the concept of rotational velocity and rotational inertia and how they relate to torque.
Outcomes:
- measure angular velocity
- calculate torque
- calculate moment of inertia
- use data logging equipment to measure rotational motion.
