  1. Centripetal Force and Projectile Motion

  2. The Role of Gravity in Orbiting • How does gravity affect orbiting? • Gravity provides a centripetal force that keeps things moving in a circle • Centripetal force: the unbalanced force that causes objects moving in a circular path

  3. Projectile Motion and Gravity • Projectile motion- The curved path an object follows when thrown or propelled near the surface of the earth • Projectile motion has 2 components • Horizontal • Vertical • When these are combined, they form a curved path

  4. • A football being passed • Balls being juggled • An athlete doing a high jump • Water sprayed by a sprinkler • A swimmer diving into water • A leaping frog
