Period and Frequency
The time it takes to go one time around a closed path is
called the period (T).

f is called the frequency, the number of revolutions (or
cycles) per second.

Centripetal Acceleration
Consider an object moving
y
in a circular path of radius r
at constant speed. v
Here, v 0. The v
direction of v is changing.
x
If v 0, then a 0. v
Then there is a net force
acting on the object.

Centripetal Acceleration
Conclusion: with no net force acting on the object it would
travel in a straight line at constant speed
It is still true that F = ma.
But what acceleration do we use?

Centripetal Acceleration
The velocity of a particle is tangent to its path.
For an object moving in uniform circular motion, the
acceleration is radially inward.
