In this lab, we studied the properties of centrifugal and centripetal force and their differences. We also tried to demonstrate that if you spin a bucket in a circle, vertical of horizontal, it will go tangent to the circle from where it was release. Here is a lab partners data which is much more elaborated and detailed. In this lab, we learned a lot about the properties of centrifugal force.
Centrifugal force is outward as compared to centripetal force which is inward.
We failed to determine if the bucket released tangent to the circle because lack of time and space. I will be glad to do it later in the future because of flying water.
