Uniform Circular Motion and Centripetal Force
Enough of this moving in straight lines business, let's go in circles! It may not be productive but it's super fun. Ferris wheels are fun. Yes they are, don't be a spoilsport. Roller coasters are fun too. And merry-go-rounds. Look, I...

Circular Motion
A circular motion problem in physics can really throw you for a loop. A video explains what circular motion is and how it is figured. It also describes centripetal force and the importance of friction and magnitude.
