Centripetal force

Hypothesis:
I predict that it will all stay on one side of the bucket. it will be flat and it will get lighter as you get faster.


Variables we must control:
Variables
Control
Liquid
Each bucket filled to the second
Holding the bucket
Hold the bucket in the same position
Bucket
Have the same type of bucket
Timing  
Start at the same time


Method:
  1. fill a bucket with water
  2. Hold the handle a start to spin
  3. slowly get faster
  4. And faster
  5. and even faster
  6. do you get wet?


Results:

My prediction was right it stays at the bottom of the Bucket and it stayed flat. This happened because the centripetal force was pulling the bucket and the water away from me.

Dizzy from all the spinning
