1. I Spy….. Rotational Motion In Famous Artwork

2. The Prison Courtyard Vincent Van Gogh (1890)
Example slide: I spy 3 examples of rotational motion in this slide…..Can you find them?

3. Example slide: After you guess where the examples of rotational motion are, you will then see the same slide pop up giving you the answers.
The prisoners walking around in a circle represent both tangential and angular velocity. They also display centripetal acceleration because they are constantly turning while they are walking around in the circle.
Good luck!

11. This car has lost control and is spinning.
The circular track with the cars traveling around it is a good illustration of centripetal acceleration. As the cars are traveling around the track, they still have acceleration even if their velocities aren’t changing, because their direction is always changing thanks to the circular formation of the track.
Really old cars have this pulley that needed to be turned in order to start the car.
The steering wheel being turned is a good example of rotational motion.
The wheels on the car.
This car has lost control and is spinning.
