Yep. The combination of the force of the track and the weight of the bike create the centripetal force that keeps it going in a circle.daveyavey said:
Motion in a vertical circle refers to the movement of an object along a circular path in a vertical plane. This type of motion involves both a horizontal and vertical component, as the object moves both around the circle and up and down within the circle.
The centripetal force in motion in a vertical circle is the force that keeps the object moving in a circular path. It is directed towards the center of the circle and is responsible for continuously changing the direction of the object's velocity.
The speed of an object in motion in a vertical circle is affected by the radius of the circle, the mass of the object, and the centripetal force acting on the object. A larger radius, a heavier mass, and a greater centripetal force will result in a higher speed.
Gravity plays a crucial role in motion in a vertical circle. It provides the centripetal force necessary to keep the object moving in a circular path and also causes the object to accelerate towards the center of the circle, resulting in a changing velocity and direction.
Uniform motion in a vertical circle refers to when the object moves at a constant speed around the circle, while non-uniform motion refers to when the speed of the object varies along the circle. Non-uniform motion can occur due to changes in the centripetal force or the object's position within the circle.
