-As a consequence of Newton's First Law, objects will move in a circular path only when an external force is applied to them.  When that force is removed, they will maintain a constant speed in a direction tangent to the circle.
-The //interactive// page, captured in the image below, will launch a ball through a tube.  What will happen when it exits the tube?
-The Discover tab sets up random tubes and ball speeds, and allows the user to observe the path of the ball.
-The Explore tab adds a velocity vector to the ball, a tangent line to the curve at its opening, and a yellow target.
-The Master tab sets up a target, and gives control of the tube and ball properties to make the ball hit the target.
-The More tab leads here.
