Abstract
The growth of smartphone users in Indonesia can be a good potential for various fields, one of which is education. This research aims to produce a circular motion experiment tool using sensor smartphone in the horizontal and vertical position and find out its feasibility for use by high school students. The method of research used is research and development or R&D with the ADDIE development model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation). The research result shows that the experimental tool has shown the influence of object distance directly proportional to centripetal acceleration when the angular velocity is constant. In addition, there is also a difference in tangential acceleration at the top of the circle and under the circle in a vertical position. In the questionnaire test, the average score of the feasibility of the experimental tool was 91.25% with a very good category. While the average score of module feasibility is 86.25% with a very good category. The average score obtained based on the response from students is 94.5% with a very good category.
