Study Notes
Circular Motion
- Velocity is constantly changing in circular motion due to the change in direction.
- The speed of an object moving in a circle remains constant, but the direction of motion changes continuously.
- The direction of travel in circular motion is constantly changing, which means the object is accelerating.
- An object changes direction in circular motion due to a force acting perpendicular to the direction of motion, causing the object to turn.
- The speed of an object in circular motion remains constant, but the direction of motion changes, resulting in a continuous change in velocity.
