Uniform Circular Motion
Introduction Uniform circular motion refers to the motion of an object traveling in a circular path at a constant speed. While the speed remains constant, the direction of the velocity vector changes continuously, resulting in a non-zero acceleration. Velocity in Uniform Circular Motion The velocity of an object in uniform circular motion is given by:…

Chapter 12: Uniform Circular Motion
12.1 Introduction to Uniform Circular Motion (UCM) Uniform circular motion describes the movement of an object traveling in a circular path with a constant speed. Although the speed remains constant, the object experiences acceleration due to the continuous change in its direction. This page will explore the basics of uniform circular motion. 12.2 Defining Uniform…
