Learning Objectives

After completing the topic, the student will be able to:

  • Define and discuss circular motion and its types extensively.
  • Discuss and relate tangential and rotational speed with relevance to their importance in circular motion of the objects.
  • Define, discuss and extend the concept of centripetal force to real world applications.
  • Define, distinguish and differentiate between projectile motion and uniform circular motion.
  • Understand and evaluate the direction of force at every point, in a circular motion.
  • Understand and employ the concept of centrifugal force to the real world applications.
  • Identify the use of centrifuge to separate components that are present in a homogeneous mixture.
  • Understand, probe and apply the concept of banking of roads to the real world situations.
  • Discuss the motion of an object in a vertical circle and explore its applications in everyday science scenarios.
