What is circular motion ?
Circular motion involves an object moving along a circular path. It keeps a consistent distance from the circle's center. The object's speed remains constant, but its velocity continuously changes direction. Centripetal force is required to keep the object in circular motion. Key concepts include period, frequency, angular displacement, and centripetal acceleration. Circular motion is important in understanding planetary motion, rotational motion, and various real-world applications.
