Uniform Circular Motion
“Uniform” circular motion means that the
object moves in a circle at a constant speed .

Some speed definitions and equations:


T = (period) - time to go around exactly once
r - radius of circle
v - speed (scalar, not vector)
Acceleration in Circular Motion
•When an object travels in a circle, its velocity
is constantly changing (in direction at least).

•That means the object has a non-zero


acceleration even if it moves at constant
speed.
