Post-reading question: You must comment on this post with your suggestion for how to determine the mass of the object moving in a circle.  Your suggestion should tell what you think should be graphed and what the slope on your graph would represent.  Your post will count as two reading quiz points.

  1. Oscar says:

    Have y be Fc. x be v^2/r and find the slope which is mass

  2. Edgar Jimenez says:

    Fc/(v^2/r) equal mass. Fc represents the y and V^2/r represents x.

  3. Annabel M says:

    Set Fc as your x and have v^2/r as your y to get the slope of m

  4. Areli G says:

    Figure out the slope which is the mass n y fc v^2/r.
    -Areli

  5. Christian Larreynaga says:

    Set Fc as your y and have v^2/r as your x. so the slope/mass is m=fc*r/v^2

  6. Patricio says:

    Fc would be y and v^2/r is x and m is your slope

  7. Gabby says:

    make M your slope and let x = v^2/r and y =fg

  8. Daniela Felix says:

    You would set Fc as your x axis and have v^2/r as your y axis in order to get the slope of m.

  9. ashley vera says:

    fc as your y maybe and v^2/r as x to get slope

  10. Samuel M says:

    Fc on the Yaxis and v^2/r on the Xaxis and the slope should be the mass

  11. Aarón says:

    Set Fc as your y and v^2/r as your x

  12. Fernando E says:

    Centripetal force on the y-axis, while having V^2/r on the x-axis. the slope of the curve should give you the mass.

  13. Quinton Hal says:

    I would graph Fc versus v^2/r

  14. Adelene Miranda says:

    Since we are dealing with an object moving in a circular motion we will use Fnet=mv^2/r
    and m would be your slope and v^2r will be your y-intercept.

  15. Juan says:

    Centripetal force as x and y as v^2/r, the slope would then be m
    -Juan
