Demonstrations
Each of the demonstrations includes a picture, description, suggestion of use, equipment needed, and the approximate setup time.
Accelerometer: Ball in Water
This shows the direction of acceleration for both linear and circular cases.
 Accelerometer: Ball in Water
Loop-the-Loop
This demonstrates how to apply the ideas of conservation of energy in a rotating object and centripetal force.
Loop-the-Loop
Trajectory from Circular Orbit
This shows that the instantaneous velocity of an object executing uniform circular motion is tangent to the circle.

Uniform Circular Motion
Simulation
Circular Motion
This simulation from the Physics Simulation Library includes an audio introduction and general directions. The simulation is very well designed, and gives the opportunity to change the parameters, collect data, and interpret various graphs.

Exploration
Circular, Satellite, and Rotational Motion
A set of six multimedia animations by the Multimedia Physics Studio shows the application of Newton's laws to the motion of roller coaster riders in loops and planets orbiting the sun. Each animation includes a brief tutorial and interactive exercises.
