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 ...

New Scientist Book Club has been reading Alex Foster’s debut novel, Circular Motion, in which he charts what would happen if Earth’s rotation sped up by not just a millisecond, but a minute, or an ...

6.In uniform circular motion, the centripetal force acting on an object is: (a) Parallel to the motion of the object. (b) Perpendicular to the motion of the object. (c) Opposite to the motion of the ...
