Circular motion is a type of motion in which an object moves along a circular path. This path can be either horizontal or vertical.
Uniform circular motion is when an object moves at a constant speed along a circular path, while non-uniform circular motion is when the speed of the object changes along the circular path.
The centripetal force can be calculated using the formula F = mv²/r, where F is the centripetal force, m is the mass of the object, v is the velocity, and r is the radius of the circular path.
Tangential acceleration is the change in velocity of an object in the direction tangent to its circular path, while centripetal acceleration is the change in velocity of an object towards the center of the circular path. The two are related by the formula a = v²/r, where a is the tangential acceleration, v is the velocity, and r is the radius of the circular path.
Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion. In circular motion, inertia keeps the object moving in a circular path, as it resists the change in direction towards the center of the circle caused by the centripetal force.
