Materials: 4 D Cell Battery, Merry Go Round, Mouse Ball
Connect the Merry-Go-Round to a DC power supply and turn on the voltage. Place a rollable object in the center of the turntable and watch it move to the edge. This is because the force of static friction on the ball is not large enough to keep the ball in a circular path.
