All of the objects in our solar system are acted upon by forces. Forces are pushes or pulls. Every force has both a strength and a direction. Applying a force on something–like pushing a toy car–can ...

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 ...

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 ...

Motion is movement of an object from one place to another or we can say it is the process of moving, changing place or position. Motion requires force to cause that change. The time you take to travel ...

Explore the physics behind rope swings and learn how to calculate the maximum tension in the rope using centripetal acceleration. This video breaks down the forces at play when swinging in a circular ...
