Agh, I have to go study for calculus tommorow, thanks for the help. If you think of anything let me know

I really just need a basic explanation of why this trend persists not from a numerical point of view but a scientific point of view, why when it's closer it's faster and why when it's further it's slower so I can then compare the experimental data to the theoretical data and reference my...

That was an error on my part, your correct it is 1/√r.

I'm aware of the three centripetal force/acceleration equations and everything that comes before that in physics.

I understandthe Fg of the mass hanging below the glass tube is the centripetal force and the glass tube is acting as a pully, what I don't understand is how if an object is closer to it's origin of rotation why it spins faster or why more velocity is required etc...

Could you elaborate a little bit, and where would the proper place to put a diagram be in a lab formatted like so?

Here it is, note: background information was not required as it is due two days after it was assigned, aka tommorow :)

Exactly, however the mass swinging was constant at 0.03kg and the mass below was constant with 0.2kg and I changed the radius of the string.

Here is a link to my lab: https://files.fm/u/v347hgn5#/ Basically, A rubber stopper was connected to a string, which ran through a glass tube that I would hold on to and the tension came from a mass hanging below and I would swing it and count revolutions for trials.

I am writing a lab report on the effect of the radius of a string on the frequency of rotation on an object in horizontal uniform circular motion. My hypothesis is: If the radius of the string from the origin of rotation increases, then the frequency will decrease because frequency has an...
