Activity #2
Go to the website below and answer the following questions.
1) How does "centripetal force" keep the ball from immediately falling out of each pitcher?
2) If the ball doesn't fall out (as in the second demonstration with the wide body pitcher), even though gravity is pulling it down, there must be an upward force acting on it. Where is that force coming from?
Watch the video below and answer the following questions.
1) Describe everyday examples of forces that exist in the environment around you.
2) List specific examples of how the force of water, wind or gravity can affect motion.
