circular motion:
Uniform Circular motion
• KNOW: acceleration is toward center of circle
• Observation: hitting a bowling ball
– http://paer.rutgers.edu/pt3/experiment.php?topici
d=5&exptid=56
• Observation: rollerblading
– http://paer.rutgers.edu/pt3/experiment.php?topici
d=5&exptid=39
• What can we hypothesize from these observations?
A ball is allowed to rotate in the circular ring. What
will be the motion of the ball once the board is
removed? USE your hypothesis to make your
prediction!!

It will continue to move in a circle
It will exit the ring moving straight with no more curve to the
motion
It will exit the ring and move outwards
It will exit the ring in an arc, making a curved path that isn’t as
‘tight’ as the original circle

Conclusions and representations
• In order to accelerate, we need a force IN THE DIRECTION of the
acceleration:
• Force is proportional to acceleration
• Force and acceleration are both represented by vectors
• We know how to find acceleration from motion diagrams –
there must be a (total) force in that direction
• Draw a diagram WITH COORDINATE AXIS (necessary to
represent a vector!)
• Show the direction of the (total) force
• Check if it is in the direction of acceleration

Quotations
• If I have been able to see further, it was only
because I stood on the shoulders of giants.
Letter to Robert Hooke
Quotations
• I know not what I appear to the world, but to
myself I seem to have been only like a boy
playing on the sea-shore, and diverting myself
in now and then finding a smoother pebble or
a prettier shell, whilest the great ocean of
truth lay all undiscovered before me.
Quoted in D Brewster, Memoirs of Newton
Quotations
• I will not define time, space, place and
motion, as being well known to all.
Principia Mathematica
• Truth is ever to be found in the simplicity, and
not in the multiplicity and confusion of things.
Units
Unit of force: Newton
A force of 1 N gives a mass of 1 kg an
acceleration of 1 m/s2

surface
