Motion in a Circle

Starting off with a definition of motion and some examples, this slide show goes on to describe different categories of movement. Terminology connected to this general physics topic is explained on subsequent slides. It is a good summary...

By the end of this section, you will be able to compare simple harmonic motion with uniform circular motion.

Watch this video tutorial to learn about the simplest type of motion in physics, uniform motion, in which the acceleration is zero and the velocity during the motion is a constant. [18:24]

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Students explore periodic motion and simple harmonic motion by watching video clips, manipulating interactives, and solving practice problems.

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...

Students learn about uniform and non-uniform circular motion in this illustrated article.

A video lesson that introduces the components of circular motion. Understand that any objects that rotates around a point is in circular motion. Video also explores how to measure how far an object has rotated. Video gives equation for...

The host of Crash Course Physics discusses centripetal force, centrifugal force, and a few other bits of physics to help explain Uniform Circular motion. [9:54]

A site dedicated to help students prepare for the AP Physics B test. This specific site reviews circular motion including uniform circular motion, torque, rotational statics, gyroscopes, moment of inertia, and static equilibrium. Site...

This is a list of 23 questions covering the major concepts of Chapter 6: Uniform Circular Motion and Gravitation from the AP Physics online text.
