Abstract

This research aims to develop a practicum tool to analyze the angular velocity and direction of rotation produced by the wheel^s movement. This research method was experimental methods. The working principle of the tool was to connect the tool to the electric current. So that the wheels can rotate and observe the direction of rotation. The rotation of the wheels that touch each other is connected by a rope. The result showed the intersecting wheels had different rotational directions and angular velocities. The wheel connected to the rope has a rotating direction in the same direction at different angular velocities. Thus, the practicum tool developed can analyze the angular velocity and direction of the wheel^s movement rotation.
