Circular Motion.

This post includes two videos.  The first one is on the derivation of the formula \(a=v^2/r\), which represents the relationship between acceleration, speed and radius for an object moving in a circle. This equation answers the question: what acceleration would you need to induce something to move in a circle?
Derivation video here:



The second video provides an example of how you can use this equation to solve problems, like the problems on the homework this wee (and next week). That second video is here:
