Angular displacement:

Note: angles measured CW are negative and angles measured
CCW are positive.  is measured in radians.

called the period (T).

Centripetal Acceleration
Consider an object moving
in a circular path of radius r
at constant speed.
y
v
Here, v  0. The
direction of v is changing.
v
x
If v  0, then a  0.
Then there is a net force
acting on the object.

Centripetal Acceleration
Conclusion: with no net force acting on the object it would
travel in a straight line at constant speed
It is still true that F = ma.
But what acceleration do we use?
MFMcGraw

Centripetal Acceleration
The velocity of a particle is tangent to its path.
For an object moving in uniform circular motion, the
acceleration is radially inward.

Banked Curves
A highway curve has a radius of 825 m. At what angle
should the road be banked so that a car traveling at 26.8
m/s has no tendency to skid sideways on the road? (Hint:
No tendency to skid means the frictional force is zero.)
Take the car’s motion
to be into the page.

Nonuniform means the speed (magnitude of velocity)
is changing.

tangent to the path of the particle.

at changes the magnitude of v.
ar
Changes energy - does work
ar changes the direction of v.
