Circular Motion ; Gravitation (Chapter 5)

Objectives

1. the centripetal acceleration of a point mass in uniform circular motion given the radius of the circle and either the linear speed or the period of the motion.

2. the force that is the cause of the centripetal acceleration and determine the direction of the acceleration vector.

3. Highway Curves, Banked and UnBanked Curves.

4. Nonuniform Circular Motion

5. Centrifugation

6. Newton's universal law of gravitation and explain the meaning of each symbol in the equation.

7.Gravity Near the Earth's Surface; Geophusical Applications

8. Satellites and "Weightlessness".

9. Kepler's Laws and Newton's Synthesis

10.Types Forces in Nature
