Mechanical Energy of a Satellite in Circular Orbit
The mechanical energy of a satellite in circular orbit is solved for in terms of universal gravitational potential energy. And the velocity of the satellite is compared to escape velocity.

What are the Equations for Kinetic Energy and Angular Momentum of a Point Particle Moving in a Circle?
When a point particle is moving along a circle, should we use the translational or rotational kinetic energy equation? Should we use the point particle or rigid object with shape equation for angular momentum? The equations are also...

Uniform Circular Motion and Centripetal Force
Enough of this moving in straight lines business, let's go in circles! It may not be productive but it's super fun. Ferris wheels are fun. Yes they are, don't be a spoilsport. Roller coasters are fun too. And merry-go-rounds. Look, I...

Crash Course Physics #11: Rotational Motion
Did you know that, at a certain point on a moving wheel, there's no motion? I mean, kind of, it's all relative, right? Prepare to have your mind blown in this video episode of Crash Course Physics where Shini delves into the world of...
