Circular motion plays an important role in nature and technology. So, the planets move on (approximately) circular orbits around the sun. Other examples are the rotating armature of an electric motor or the crankshaft of a gasoline engine.

Uniform circular motion. 9-29-99 Sections 5.1 – 5.2 Uniform circular motion. When an object is experiencing uniform circular motion, it is traveling in a circular …

An overview of orbital mechanics including types of orbits, mathematical formulae, and example problems.

In physics, circular motion is a movement of an object along the circumference of a circle or rotation along a circular path. It can be uniform, with constant angular rate of rotation and constant speed, or non-uniform with a changing rate of rotation.

Here we see that the vertical component of uniform circular motion is SHM. For uniform circular motion with θ = ωt and radius r, the vertical component is

This lesson describes Newton’s third law of motion. Examples are provided to illustrate how interacting objects experience forces. The lesson

Circular Motion and Gravitation: Problem Set Overview This set of 27 problems targets your ability to combine Newton’s laws and circular motion and gravitation equations in order to analyze the motion of objects moving in circles, including orbiting satellites.
