Scrambler

Objective 2: To time the circular motion in a rotating frame of reference.
SUGGESTED PROCEDURE: Times tA and tB may be measured while waiting to get on the ride. When on the ride
pick a landmark in the non-moving "ground" frame of reference. Time your return to that same exact position
for the time of a complete cycle.
APPARATUS: Stopwatch
DATA: A) Time for full rotation about B, tB:
__________ s
B) Time for full rotation about A, tA: __________ s
C) Time for a complete cycle (time to go from one position or view to the same exact position
or view.):
__________ s
Is there a simple (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division) relationship between A, B, C? Discuss.
Objective 3: Draw the path a person travels in moving through one complete revolution.
SUGGESTED PROCEDURE: Complete diagram after observing the motion of the Scrambler
