Complete your notes by copying the two examples shown in the last part of the video below:
Select all requirements for objects to move in a circle
The object is pulled around the circle by a force that points in the same direction as its velocity
The net force points outward from the circle
The net force points into the center of the circle
The velocity points parallel to the circular path
The velocity points in a perpendicular direction to the circular path
You are swinging an object in a horizontal circle (represented in black) and let go of it at the blue dot. Which red vector correctly shows the path of the object after you let go?
Which of these forces can be the centripetal force?
Gravity
Normal
Buoyant
Friction
Tension
How does the centripetal acceleration affect the velocity of an object in uniform circular motion?
It changes its magnitude and direction
It changes its magnitude but not its direction
It changes its direction but not its magnitude
It does not change its direction or its magnitude
Which type of force is acting as the centripetal force?
