Dynamics of circular motion involve the forces and accelerations that cause an object to move along a circular path. The centripetal force, acting towards the center of the circle, is crucial for maintaining circular motion and is directly related to the object's mass, velocity, and the radius of the path.

Dynamics Of Circular Motion

Forces and accelerations

A circular path refers to the trajectory of an object moving in a circle, characterized by constant distance from a central point and continuous change in direction. This motion involves centripetal force to maintain the circular trajectory and can be analyzed using principles of angular velocity and acceleration.

Circular Path

Centripetal force is the inward force required to keep an object moving in a circular path, acting perpendicular to the object's velocity. It is essential for maintaining circular motion and is provided by various forces such as tension, gravity, or friction depending on the context.
