Uniform circular motion is when an object moves in a circular path at a constant speed. This means that the object is covering the same distance in the same amount of time throughout the entire motion.
In uniform circular motion, the speed of the object remains constant while the direction changes. In non-uniform circular motion, the speed of the object is changing, either increasing or decreasing, as it moves along the circular path.
The centripetal force is the force that keeps an object moving in a circular path. It is directed towards the center of the circle and is responsible for constantly changing the direction of the object's motion.
The centripetal force can be calculated using the formula Fc = mv²/r, where Fc is the centripetal force, m is the mass of the object, v is the speed of the object, and r is the radius of the circular path.
Some examples of uniform circular motion include a car driving around a roundabout, a satellite orbiting around the Earth, and a pendulum swinging back and forth in a circular motion.
