When it comes to uniform circular motion, position is the most obvious quality: There's an object, and it's on a circular path. ... Acceleration is measured in meters per second squared, ...

Acceleration: The rate of change of velocity of the object. It is a vector quantity. ... If the object moves with uniform speed, then its motion is known as uniform circular motion. 9.

• A train starting from a railway station and moving with uniform acceleration attains a speed 40 km hñ1 in 10 minutes. Find its acceleration. ... • Concept of uniform circular motion ...

In this Closer Look segment on circular motion, we investigate circular motion and solve for centripetal acceleration, centripetal force, and tangential velocity. Aired 08/16/2018.
