Description

Join the ladybug in an exploration of rotational motion. Rotate the merry-go-round to change its angle, or choose a constant angular velocity or angular acceleration. Explore how circular motion relates to the bug's x,y position, velocity, and acceleration using vectors or graphs.

Sample Learning Goals

Explain some of the variables for rotational motion by describing the motion of a bug on a turning platform
Describe how the bug's position on the turning platform affects these variables.
