Physics Demo - Analyzing Angular Inertia of Wheels of Differing Thicknesses
In this project/physics lesson, students will be able to test the differences in rotational speed in 3D printed wheels of different densities (infill percentages). By testing the different wheels, students can develop conceptual knowledge about the ways in which differences in mass between the wheels of the same volumes can affect the speed at which it rotates down a ramp.
In thinking about introductory demonstrations to introduce new units of study, this project could be integrated into a unit about circular motion, angular momentum, as well as potential energy.
The sample 3D STL file included in this project is borrowed from user: timelapse21
