Title: Acceleration in Uniform Circular Motion
Category: Kinematics of SHM
Summary: In this Learning Object, we explore the basic concept of uniform circular motion and learn that the projection of a point that moves in a circle projects simple harmonic motion. Being able to understand this allows us to keep in mind that there is a distinct difference between these two types of motion despite the characteristics or variables they share such as “omega” and “phi.” Through the use of the Ted-Ed program, a deeper understanding of uniform circular motion can be achieved.
