When a body or object moves in a circle, it is said to be in a circular motion. That is we can say that motion in a circle is a circular motion. When a body or object moves along a circular path, then ...

When you swing a ball on a rope in a circle above your head, what keeps it moving in that circular path? This applies to any object moving in a circle, not just a ball on a rope - the force and ...

Vertical circular motion is a special type of circular motion in which the forces acting on an object change as it moves along a vertical loop. Specifically, the normal force varies throughout the ...

This project simulates circular motion, allowing users to visualize and understand the principles behind circular dynamics. It demonstrates key concepts such as angular velocity, centripetal force, ...

Polar orbits take the satellites over the Earth's poles. The satellites travel very close to the Earth (as low as 200 km above sea level), so they must travel at very high speeds (nearly 8,000 m/s).

Centripetal force is the real inward pull that keeps objects moving in circles, while centrifugal force is the apparent outward push we only feel in rotation.

Here is what I like to do (for fun). Take a classic physics problem and go over the solution. After that, I take it just one step further to see what happens. Today, let's start with this problem (you ...
