5-1 Kinematics of Uniform 5-1 Kinematics of Uniform Circular MotionCircular Motion
Uniform circular motion - An object that Uniform circular motion - An object that moves in a circle at a constant speed (v).moves in a circle at a constant speed (v).
The magnitude of the velocity remains The magnitude of the velocity remains constant, but the direction of the velocity is constant, but the direction of the velocity is constantly changing.constantly changing.
Acceleration = change in velocity / change Acceleration = change in velocity / change in timein time
Object revolving in a circle is continuously Object revolving in a circle is continuously acceleratingaccelerating

aar r = v= v22/r/r
An object moving in a circle of radius r with a An object moving in a circle of radius r with a constant speed v has an acceleration whose constant speed v has an acceleration whose direction is toward the center of the circle and direction is toward the center of the circle and whose magnitude is awhose magnitude is ar r = v= v22/r./r.
Velocity and acceleration vectors are Velocity and acceleration vectors are perpendicular to each other at every point in the perpendicular to each other at every point in the path for uniform circular motion.path for uniform circular motion.

What keeps a satellite in space?What keeps a satellite in space?
High speed, if it stopped moving it would High speed, if it stopped moving it would fall to earthfall to earth
Satellite is falling, but high tangential Satellite is falling, but high tangential speed keeps it from falling to earthspeed keeps it from falling to earth

upward a=1/2g W=3/2mg experience 3/2 g’s upward a=1/2g W=3/2mg experience 3/2 g’s accelerationacceleration
downward a=-1/2g W=1/2mg experience 1/2g downward a=-1/2g W=1/2mg experience 1/2g accelerationacceleration

Satellites fall toward earth, only force Satellites fall toward earth, only force acting on it is gravityacting on it is gravity
Out in space far from the earth - true Out in space far from the earth - true weightlessness occursweightlessness occurs
gravity pull from other planets is extremely gravity pull from other planets is extremely small due to large distances awaysmall due to large distances away
Prolonged weightlessness - red blood cells Prolonged weightlessness - red blood cells diminish, bones lose calcium and become diminish, bones lose calcium and become brittle, muscles lose their tone.brittle, muscles lose their tone.
