will change directions to always point inward to the center
inertia is what allows it as it makes the object stay in the motion you put it in
centripetal force and velocity are perpendicular on a diagram
If you stop spinning the object in a circle (or string snaps) the object will follow the
velocity
directly proportional to mass
inversely proportional to raidus
directly proportional to the square of the object's linear speed
Rotation &
Revolution
Rotation
Spinning on an internal axis
Example: a basketball
spinning on a finger
Revolution
An object spinning on an external axis
Example: A merry-go-round
Distance traveled = circumference
radius = person distance from center of axis
C = 2(pi)r
Linear and Angular Speed
Linear Speed
Distance traveled per unit of time
Those farthest from the center will have the fastest
linear speed
v = 2(pi)r / t (time for one revolution (seconds) )
Angular Speed
Amount an object in circular
motion spins per unit of time
Angular Speed = Rotations or Degrees / time
1 rotation = 360 degrees
People in different positions will still have same angular speed
Centrifugal force
not a true force
apparent outward force
effect of inertia when object is being forced into a circle
Gravitational Force
Fgravity = G(m1*m2)/r2
G = 6.67e-11
Force of gravity between Earth and the sun keeps Earth in its orbit
exists between all objects that have mass
Strength of force depends on the mass of the
objects and the distance between them
weight = force of gravity between you and Earth
depends on your mass, your planets mass, and distance from center of planet
force of gravity b/w two objects lies along the line connecting their centers
direction of the force changes to stay pointed along the line b/w their centers
mass and gravity are directly proportional to each other
distance and gravity are inversely squared
decrease of graviational force is related to the square of the distance
double the distance = force divided by four
measured from center of both objects

Work (Done Against Gravity
W= mass*gravity*height
work done by or against Fgravity
force times the distance moved in the direction of the force
total work done against gravity same no matter the path
W = F*d
Fg = m*g
measured in Joules or Newtons (depends on problem)
Power
rate at which work is done
measured in Watts
1 watt = 1 joule per second
Sometimes horsepower is used
One hP = 746 Watts
P = work/time
Energy
Potential Energy
Energy due to its position
gravitational potential energy
energy of an elevated object
Ep = m (mass kg)* g (acceleration due to gravity, 9.8/10 m/sec2) * h (height meters)
Kinetic Energy
Energy of motion
Ek = 1/2 *v * v2
direct relationship with mass
directly squared of velocity
Ep top = Ek bottom
