Centripetal Force and Acceleration – The Physics of Circular Motion

665 views on YouTube

For circular motion, in which direction does the centripetal force and acceleration always act? Watch this tutorial to find out!

Centripetal force (the force which keeps an object moving in a circle) and the resulting centripetal acceleration are always directed towards the center of the circle.

This tutorial uses familiar examples of objects moving in circles to explain this idea.
