Yesterday in class we starting to examine uniform circular motion. This is a type of motion that happens with a constant speed but a changing direction. A force called the centripetal force causes this type of motion. We learned how to calculate the centripetal force along with the centripetal acceleration. We then worked through a couple of examples (#19-23) today and students finished the class by working on Assignment 3.7. On Monday we are going to begin to look at gravitational motion.
