Mit: Blossoms: Uniform Circular Motion and Centrifugal Force

Curated by ACT

The objective of this video lesson is to correct the misconception in the students' understanding of centrifugal force. The lesson will work to clarify this misconception by using Newton's three laws of motion, particularly the law of inertia, and will demonstrate that the only force acting during a uniform circular motion is centripetal force (i.e., towards the center) - not including the force of gravity.
