In this review, delve into the intricacies of uniform circular motion, acceleration, and centripetal forces. Learn about velocity and acceleration vectors, the direction of acceleration, and the concept of centripetal and centrifugal forces. Explore practical examples such as a rock twirled on a string to understand how to apply Newton's Second Law to solve problems in different cases. Gain insights into normal force and accelerated frames of reference. Engage with interactive activities like swinging a water bucket overhead to deepen your understanding of these fundamental concepts.

Physics IClass 12 Uniform 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. Acceleration in Circular Motion
Example:A Rock on a String Twirl a 1 kg rock attached to a string in a 1 m radius vertical circle. The speed is 4 m/sec. What forces act on the rock and what are the directions of those forces?
