Homework Statement


Well were making a poster about circular motion. I was wondering if you guess had any other important things i should add on there about it.


Homework Equations


ac=v^2/r
fnet=mac

The Attempt at a Solution



So for the circular motion the subtopics in the book are describing circular motion, centripetal acceleration, a non existent force, and changing circular motion: torque. I am going to write those all down and then write the important stuff to remember about each section but do you think there's anything else i should add about it. I was thinking that i was going to put on there how the motion is going to be going towards the center of the circle for motion.

Maybe add something about the difference between tangential and radial acceleration? How does velocity relate to angular velocity?
