Segment 3G: Circular Motion We explore the concept of circular motion. Segment 3G: Circular Motion We travel to an amusement park to explore circular motion. We work through an example problem and ...

We solve for centripetal acceleration, centripetal force, and tangential velocity. In this Closer Look segment on circular motion, we investigate circular motion and solve for centripetal acceleration ...

6.In uniform circular motion, the centripetal force acting on an object is: (a) Parallel to the motion of the object. (b) Perpendicular to the motion of the object. (c) Opposite to the motion of the ...

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.

New Scientist Book Club has been reading Alex Foster’s debut novel, Circular Motion, in which he charts what would happen if Earth’s rotation sped up by not just a millisecond, but a minute, or an ...
