C4-11: ACCELEROMETER - BALL IN WATER
Additional Info
- ID Code: C4-11
- Purpose: Demonstrate the direction of acceleration for both linear and circular cases.
- Description: When the accelerometer is accelerated linearly, the ping-pong ball, being less dense than the water, moves toward the direction of the acceleration. When the jars are rotated the ping-pong ball moves toward the center of rotation.
- Availability: Available
- References: REFERENCES: (PIRA 1G20.87)
