Transcript

Today we will discuss what we call "uniform circular motion." What is uniform circular motion? An object goes around in a circle, has radius r and the object is here. This is the velocity. It's a vector, perpendicular. And later in time when the object is here the velocity has changed, but the speed has not changed. We introduce T, what we call the... Read More
