Uniform Circular Motion

1) Uniform circular motion describes an object that travels at a constant speed in a circular path, with its direction continually changing. 2) The acceleration in uniform circular motion is constant in magnitude and directed toward the center of the circular path. 3) Centripetal acceleration allows an object to travel in a circular path and is caused by a centripetal force directed toward the center of the circle.

Uniform Circular Motion

Uniform circular motion is the motion of an object


traveling at a constant speed on a circular path.
Uniform Circular Motion
Properties of Uniform Circular motion

1. The speed is constant.


2. The direction of the motion is continually and
uniformly changing.
3. The acceleration is constant in magnitude and
is directed toward the center of the circular
path.

acceleration in circular direction, it is said to be
experiencing the centripetal acceleration.
