Learning in fun ways :)

We never finish learning!
We are in the last partial and in our Physics class we started learning about Torque. And what is torque?The measure of a force's tendency to produce torsion and rotation about an axis, equal to the vector product of the radius vector from the axis of rotation to the point of application of the force and the force vector.
In our physics class we first do a excercise to have an idea how torque work.
First we had a ruler balanced over a balance that we put a clip on to maintain that balance

Then we put some metric masses in the corner of the ruler and obviously the ruler wasn't balanced so we moved a little the metric masses to have the ruler balanced again.
With the ruler balanced we obtained some data and with that we got torque.

as we can see, we obtain this data and we practiced obtainig Torque that is F*r that means force, time radio.
We did this in one physic class but this is not the end, here we did some other things to have an idea of what is torque and the force that acts over it.
We did a little experiment with a wheel and a rotational platform
but torque here? Torque is here because we need a force to rotate and we have to spin the wheel and with the platform we moved while the wheel was moving with a force.

but to have a good idea of what we talked about in this class we saw a gyroscope and we remembered when we played with a beyblade,a gyroscope is a device used for measuring or maintaing orientation, based on the principles of angular momentum, and represents the product of bodies insertia and velocity. Here we saw that the angular moments was acting over the object.

Merry-Go-Round .Who as a child has not played on a merry go round?
all children play on a merry go round, but now we can know that, that game has a part of physics,
we use a force to rotate the merry go round and the force is toward the center.
we need a force also to obtain the body of my classmates to the center.

This was our physics class and this is how we were learning about torque.
