G1-19: CARTESIAN COORDINATES OF CIRCULAR MOTION

ID Code: G1-19
Purpose: Demonstrate that the cartesian coordinates of circular motion are sines/cosines.
Description: As the turntable rotates a peg on the turntable passing through a slot moves a pen back and forth defining each component of the motion. If you pull the paper past the pen at a constant speed, the x or y component of the motion of the peg is plotted as a function of time.
