Assumptions
❏ Angle in degrees - 57 - used a protractor to measure the angle
❏ Angle in Radians - 0.9948376736
❏ Hypotenuse - 0.7cm - measure the string the airplane was flying from
❏ Radius(m) - 0.5870693976 - found this using this equation(lsinθ=r)by
multiplying the hypotenuse by the sin of the angle we got
❏ Mass(kg) - 0.08103 - measured the mass of the plane on a scale
❏ Period - 1.15 s - timed as the plane went around once
❏ Time(s) - 1.15 - time we got as the plane did one revolution
❏ Distance along circumference(m) - 3.686795817 - used the
equation(C=2πr)multiplied 2 by pi times the radius.
❏ Tangential Velocity(m/s) - 3.205909406 - took the circumference and divided it
by the time to get the tangential velocity
❏ Radial Force(N) - 1.418596513 - multiplied the mass by the Radial acceleration
❏ Radial Acceleration(m/s/s) - 17.5070531- we squared the velocity and then
divided it by the radius to get the radial acceleration
