An investigation about a toypig that is attached to astring? |
|
The pig has wings and is
pushed forward when it moves
its wings. It follows a
circle.
Which external forces act on
the pig?
What are the directions of the
velocity and the acceleration?
Can you please answer the
questions and you can even
come up with your own
questions so that we'll know
as much as possible about the
movement and the forces of the
pig?
And please explain so that I
can understand |
 |
If I understood the question,
frictional force may provide
the centripetal force.
The direction of the velocity
is the tangent and
perpendicular to the radius of
the circle it follows.
The direction of acceleration
is towards the centre of the
circle. |

Does your cat bring you histoys when he wants to play? |
|
I have one of those "toy on a
stick" cat toys--basically a
feather on a string attached
to the end of a stick. My 3
year old male just dragged it
in here by the feather,
dropped it at my feet and
looked at me like "well?"
I've never seen a cat do this.
We joke that he's more like a
dog, but this was a really
"dog-like" behavior that I've
never seen before.
Anyone else have cats that do
this? |
|
My cat does a similar thing.
When she gets the string off
me she walks off with it in
her mouth to another room or
in a corner & waits for me to
retrieve it! Shes got me under
her paw!! |

Anyone remember an old toywith tiles attached tostrings, that could be foldedand unfolded to create shapes? |
|
Description from my friend:
"remember that old toy that
was like all these tiles
connected with complex strings
and you could like fold them
over, and fold them again,
then unfold them differently -
it was so cool"
"it was one item, made of a
bunch of small tiles, wired
together
but the wires were sort of
like, wrapped around the outer
edge of the tiles, and
cris-cross all through em, so
you can rotate them against
each other and they stay
attached"
If you have any idea, or guess
even, what this toy could
possibly be, you may just earn
10 points. |
