Complex polynomial on the unit circle
So, the values of polynomial ##p## on the complex unit circle can be written as ##\displaystyle p(e^{i\theta}) = a_0 + a_1 e^{i\theta} + a_2 e^{2i\theta} + \dots + a_n e^{ni\theta}##.

Vertical circle in a pendulum ride -- tension force acting on the gondola
At the bottom of the circle, the tension force is greater than the weight force as there must be a net force acting towards the centre to provide the centripetal force causing the centripetal acceleration and thus the circular motion.

A geometry problem with a circle and a bisected radius
