Uniform Circular Motion Physics I Class 05 Uniform Circular Motion
Newton’s Second Law - Yet Another Review!
Important Facts About Velocity and Acceleration Vectors
Circular Motion When an object travels in a circle, its velocity is constantly changing (in direction at least). That means the object has a non-zero acceleration even if it moves at constant speed.
Uniform Circular Motion
What is the Direction of Acceleration?
Centripetal Force
Example: A Rock on a String Twirl a 1 kg rock attached to a string in a 1 m radius vertical circle. The speed is 4 m/sec. What forces act on the rock and what are the directions of those forces?
