  1. What classroom demonstration was MOST effective in helping you understand rotational motion?
    Record player (tangential speed, angular speed, direction of acceleration.
    Dixie cup railroad (tangential speed)
    Swinging cup of water (centripetal force and direction of acceleration)
    Disc vs. Hoop rase (Rotational inertia)
    Meterstick and hanging mass (torque and lever arm distance)
    Bike tire (Angular momentum and rotational inertia)
    Spinning in Chair (Conservation of angular momentum)
