Unit 3 - Circular Motion
Overview:
In this unit, we studied Centripetal acceleration, Universal Gravitation and Uniform Circular Motion. We learned to compute gravity on object in space and how they effect distance velocity speed and centripetal acceleration. We can also calculate how angles and radii can effect speed and acceleration of an object.

Uniform Circular Motion
Uniform circular motion is described as an object moving in a circle with a constant speed. An object constantly changes direction as it moves in a circle. The object always moves tangentially to the circle. Since an accelerating object is an object that changes speed or velocity or direction, an object moving in a circle is accelerating. An object in constant circular motion moves at a constant speed. The net force acting upon these objects is always directed towards the center of the circle.

Universal Gravitation
Universal gravitation is the gravitational force applied between two objects. This can be used to find the interaction and acceleration, speed and distance of multiple objects.
