    This document describes an experiment to investigate centripetal force. Students collected data on the period and velocity of a bob attached to a string as the string's length and bob's mass were varied. They graphed the data and determined relationships between the string length and period, and between the bob's mass and its velocity. The document asks questions about how Newton's second law relates to centripetal force and the definitions of centripetal acceleration and force. It also inquires about the relationship between tension in the string and centripetal force.
