[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Apply mathematic equations for acceleration to understand motion.

By the end of this section, you will be able to establish the expression for centripetal acceleration and to explain the centrifuge.

Review the key concepts, equations, and skills for uniform circular motion, including centripetal acceleration and the difference between linear and angular velocity.

Uniform circular motion can be described as the motion of an object in a circle at a constant speed. This animation depicts this by means of a vector arrow.

This page features a summary of each section of Chapter 6: Uniform Circular Motion and Gravitation from the AP Physics online text.

Manipulate variables while exploring principles and relationships related to moving in a circle at a constant speed. Students change the radius of the circle, the speed of the object, and the mass of the object and investigate the effect...

From a chapter on Rotational Motion and Angular Momentum in a Physics textbook. This section of the chapter discusses uniform and non-uniform circular motion, how to calculate angular acceleration, and the relationship between linear and...

By the end of this section, you will be able to describe uniform circular motion, explain nonuniform circular motion, calculate angular acceleration of an object, and observe the link between linear and angular acceleration.

By the end of this section, you will be able to calculate coefficient of friction on a car tire and to calculate ideal speed and angle of a car on a turn.

This app simulates circular movement and demonstrates how the position, speed, acceleration, and the applied force vary depending on the time. You may choose the option "slow animation" to make the movement ten times slower. You can also...

In this activity, students observe the centripetal acceleration of an object in uniform circular motion. Relate the changes in velocity and radius to the centripetal acceleration.

In this unit, students will discover the period of time of one oscillation, the frequency of oscillation, the object displacement, its velocity, and its acceleration. They will also discover how to apply the principles of conservation of...

[Free Registration/Login Required] Learn about the relationship between position, velocity, and acceleration for two objects in one-dimensional motion. Experiment with varying approaches to the race for both Irwin and Ruthie to see how...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Use this opportunity to understand accelerated motion in two dimensions, free fall.

The practice problems and illustrated examples in this tutorial help students understand the acceleration of gravity. The 'Value of g' widget the tutorial refers to can be found in the Interactives section (link is in side-bar) under...

[Free Registration/Login Required] Learn about the relationship between velocity and position for a swimmer. Adjust the velocity of the legs, streamline, and arms to experiment with the slope of velocity in the simulation swimmer. Dig a...

[Free Registration/Login Required] Learn about the relationship between position and velocity for a model rocket during launch and in free-fall. Experiment with rocket mass, rocket thrust, and rocket burn time to understand the...

This lesson focuses on Newton's First Law: an object remains in the same state of motion unless a resultant force acts on it. If the resultant force on an object is zero, this means: a stationary object stays stationary; a moving object...

A collection of video lectures from a physics for science and engineering course taught at the University of Missouri-Kansas City. The course discusses the concepts of mechanics, wave motion, sound, heat and thermodynamics in thirty-five...

Galileo Galilei (15 February 1564 - 8 January 1642) was a Tuscan (Italian) physicist, mathematician, astronomer, and philosopher who played a major role in the scientific revolution. His achievements include improvements to the telescope...
