LEARNING OBJECTIVE 3.A.1.1 - Express the motion of an object using narrative, mathematical, and graphical representations. AP MECHANICS -C LEARNING OBJECTIVE INT 2.B -Explain how a net force in the centripetal direction can be a single force, more than one force, or even components of forces that are acting on an object moving in circular motion. So far, we have covered all the mathematics...
Alternate ways of describing circular motion
LEARNING OBJECTIVE 3.A.1.1 - Express the motion of an object using narrative, mathematical, and graphical representations. AP MECHANICS -C LEARNING OBJECTIVE INT 2.A -Calculate relationships among the radius of a circle, the speed of an object (or period of revolution), and the magnitude of centripetal acceleration for an object moving in uniform circular motion. When an object performs a uniform...
The centripetal acceleration
LEARNING OBJECTIVE 3.A.1.1 - Express the motion of an object using narrative, mathematical, and graphical representations. AP MECHANICS -C LEARNING OBJECTIVE INT 2.C -Calculate the velocity of an object moving in a horizontal circle with a constant speed, when subject to a known centripetal force. In a case of uniform circular motion, an object moves with constant speed v along the circumference...
Motion of an object moving in a circle with constant speed
LEARNING OBJECTIVE 3.A.1.1 - Express the motion of an object using narrative, mathematical, and graphical representations. AP MECHANICS -C LEARNING OBJECTIVE INT 2.C -Describe the direction of the velocity and acceleration vector for an object moving in two dimensions, circular motion One of the most interesting applications of Newton’s Law is to solve problems related to the motion of an...
