Understand the physics of uniform circular motion, its requirements, and key formulas like centripetal acceleration. Learn real-world examples, distinctions from non-uniform motion, and the derivation of UCM equations

Learn the basics of vector physics, including how to add vectors and interpret their graphical representation. Understand the difference between scalar and vector quantities with real-world examples.

If you're given the parametric equations describing the path of a particle. How do you find out the accelerations in the normal and tangential direction? Find the velocity and you know the tangential direction. Find the acceleration and...

Circular Motion proof

What is the magnitude of the acceleration of a ball traveling around a circular path if it's constrained to have a constant vertical velocity? Always start these problems by doing a velocity analysis, then finish it by doing an...

Circular Motion Example 1

Acceleration is a vector that describes the rate of change of velocity of a particle. Part of the acceleration of the particle will be tangential to the path, the rest will be normal to the path. The acceleration of the particle is...

Circular Motion Summary

The equations for NON rotating reference axes are:

Va = Vb + Va/b
and
a_a = a

_b + a_a/b

But these equations are only true if the relative axes are not rotating. If the relative frame of reference xy is...

Here I derive the most generic equations of motion (position, velocity & acceleration) for a continuous curve. The calculus is pretty involved so I definitely recommend you hit up your math textbook first!
