  1. Uniform Circular Motion • Involves an object moving in a circular path with constant speed

  2. What is the instantaneous acceleration of the object at any time? • Here we're subtracting 2D vectors: and Note – These are SIMILAR triangles!

  3. so and or now

  4. so and or now

  5. and so and so

  6. or Square of Constant Speed Centripetal Acceleration Radius of Turn

  7. Centripetal acceleration is always directed towards the centre of the circle.

  8. Now, for one trip around the circle (one revolution) ... Period of Motion

  9. And since Frequency of motion
