About This Lesson
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.
