    The document discusses uniform circular motion, where an object moves at a constant speed along a circular path. While the velocity is not constant due to changing direction, the acceleration does not affect the magnitude of speed, only the direction. Formulas are provided for velocity, acceleration, and force related to uniform circular motion. Example problems are given to calculate the velocity of a child on a merry-go-round, the acceleration of dirt on a spinning compact disc, and the force a string exerts on a swinging ball.

    Uniform Circular Motion Object moves at constant speed along a circular path Velocity is not constant because direction

    changes Acceleration does not affect the magnitude, it only affects the direction so it6 keeps the object move in circular path

    Formulas:

    v=

    2 r = 2 rf

    ac =

    v2 r

    F=

    mv 2 r

    Problem: 1. It takes a merry-go-round moves 30 seconds to complete one revolution, what is the velocity of the child on top of the horse found 3.0 m away from the center?

    2. A micro compact disc is 6.0 cm in diameter. If a drive spins uniformly at 300 revolutions per minute, what is the acceleration in m/s2 of a particle of dirt found along the edge?

    3. A ball having a mass of 0.50 kg is attached to the end of a cord 1.50m long. The ball is swung in a circular path at the end of the cord with a velocity of 8m/s. What is the force in Newton the string exerts on the ball?
