Finger Paint and Physics: A Simple Demonstration of Circular Motion and Conservation of Energy
Phan-Budd, Sarah
Physics Teacher, v58 n1 p66-67 Jan 2020
It can be a challenge to come up with simple demonstrations of circular motion and conservation of energy. One such demonstration consists of a large exercise ball, off of which a small solid ball is rolled. The small ball is coated in finger paint so, after an initial push, it rolls nearly without slipping and creates a visible track.
