Circular Motion
AIM: How is this even possible?????
But First…Facts about Circular Motion
• The distance around one lap of a circle is the
circumference (𝟐𝝅𝒓)
• What is ½ a lap?
• What is ¼ of a lap?
• The displacement for one lap around a circle is
zero.
• What is ½ a lap?
• What is ¼ of a lap?
• Time once around a circle is the Period (T)

Centripetal Acceleration

Centripetal Force
(always towards the center of the circle)
What Provides Centripetal Force?
• Centripetal force is a NET force which means it
is calculated
– either by Newton’s 2nd Law (Fc=mac)
– Or by drawing a free body diagram and
determining the net force from the orientation of
the forces on the diagram.
• Because it is a net force, you should use the
same steps you were using (hopefully) last
topic.
Friction as a Centripetal Force
(running, driving)
• On a level surface, friction IS the force that keeps the
object (car, motorcycle, person) moving in a circle.
– This is a STATIC friction force because the tires/shoes are not
skidding across the surface.
– Does the mass of the car affect its maximum turning speed?

As seen in the equations above, the tension in the rope at the
top of the circle is the centripetal force minus the weight of the
object because at that point, gravity is providing some of the
centripetal force. At the bottom, the tension in the rope is the
centripetal force plus the weight because at that point, the
tension not only has to hold up the weight of the object, it must
also provide the centripetal force.

Normal Force as a Centripetal Force
(Gravitron Ride)
• When you are riding the gravitron, the centripetal force
is provided by the wall of the ride!
• Does the mass of the rider matter?

The ride completes 10 revolutions in 1 minute
a. What is the average speed of the rider?
b. What is the normal force provided by the wall?
c. What is the coefficient of friction between the rider and the
wall
2. An average person can tolerate an acceleration of 4g
before passing out. If you wanted to build a gravitron
ride with a radius of 12m
a. What is the maximum average speed you can set the ride
to?
b. What would have to be the coefficient of friction between
the wall and the person to make the ride successful?

You feel heaviest at the bottom
of the loop because your
‘apparent weight’ is the normal
force. At the bottom the normal
force has to counteract the
weight and provide the
centripetal force. At the top,
some of the centripetal force is
provided by gravity.
Examples
1. A 60Kg student rides a rollercoaster with a vertical
loop with a radius of 15m.
a. What is the minimum speed needed to complete the
vertical loop?
b. If the actual speed of the ride at the top is 20m/s, how
heavy (FN) does the rider feel at the top of the loop?
c. If the ride’s speed is 31m/s at the bottom, how heavy
do they feel?
2. A 3kg set of keys attached to a 0.75m long string in
being swung in a vertical loop.
a. Assuming the maximum tension the string can provide
is 140N, how fast can the keys be swung without breaking
the string?

hill before the student loses contact with the seat?
2. If you want a 300kg motorcycle to be able to stay
in contact while driving over a circular hill at
40m/s. What is the radius of the hill?

Kepler’s Laws of Planetary Motion
1. The law of ellipses: all planets orbit the sun in
elliptical paths with the sun at one focus.
2. The law of equal areas: As a planet orbits the sun,
it sweeps out equal areas in equal amounts of
time. This means the closer the planet is to the
sun, the faster it is moving.
3. The law of harmonies: the orbits of all the
planets’ orbits are related
