Acceleration inward
Acceleration is due to change in direction, not speed. Since turns “toward” center, acceleration is toward the center.

DefinitionsDefinitions
Uniform Circular Motion: occurs when an object has constant speed and constant radius
Centripetal Acceleration (or radial acceleration, ac): the instantaneous acceleration towards the centre of the circle
Centrifugal Force: fictitious force that pushes away from the centre of a circle in a rotating frame of reference (which is noninertial)

Dynamics of Uniform Circular MotionDynamics of Uniform Circular Motion
Consider the centripetal acceleration aR of a rotating mass:The magnitude is constant.The direction is perpendicular to
the velocity and inward.The direction is continually
changing. Since aR is nonzero, according to
Newton’s 2nd Law, there must be a force involved.

Consider a ball on a string:There must be a net force
force in the radial direction for it to move in a circle.
Other wise it would just fly out along a straight line, with unchanged velocity as stated by Newton’s 1st Law
Don’t confuse the outward force on your hand (exerted by the ball via the string) with the inward force on the ball (exerted by your hand via the string).
That confusion leads to the mis-statement that there is a “centrifugal” (or center-fleeing) force on the ball. That’s not the case at all!

Example: Force on a Revolving BallExample: Force on a Revolving Ball
As shown in the figure, a ball of mass 0.150 kg fixed to a string is rotating with a period of T=0.500s and at a radius of 0.600 m.
What is the force the person holding the ball must exert on the string?
![Page 31: Centripetal Acceleration and Circular Motion](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022032016/56812a88550346895d8e267e/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
As usual we start with the free-body diagram.
Note there are two forcesgravity or the weight,
mgtensional force exerted
by the string, FT We’ll make the
approximation that the ball’s mass is small enough that the rotation remains horizontal, =0. (This is that judgment aspect that’s often required in physics.)

Example : A Vertically Revolving BallExample : A Vertically Revolving Ball
Now lets switch the orientation of the ball to the vertical and lengthen the string to 1.10 m.
For circular motion (constant speed and radius), what’s the speed of the ball at the top?
What’s the tension at the bottom if the ball is moving twice that speed?
![Page 33: Centripetal Acceleration and Circular Motion](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022032016/56812a88550346895d8e267e/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
So to the free-body diagram, at the top, at point A, there are two forces: tensional force exerted by the string, FTA
gravity or the weight, mg In the x direction:
Let’s talk about the dependencies of this equation.
Since mg is constant, the tension will be largershould vA increase. This seems intuitive.
Now the ball will fall if the tension vanishes or if FTA is zero

At point B there are also two forces but both acting in opposite directions. Using the same coordinate system.
Note that the tension still provides the radial acceleration but now must also be larger than maR to compensate for gravity.

Forces on a Swinging Weight
Part 1A mass is hanging off of two ropes, one vertical and one at an angle θ of 30°. The mass is 20 kg. What is the tension in the angled rope?
30
Gravity is the force pulling down (vertical). Therefore the matching force pulling up is the tension in the vertical rope. The angled rope will have zero tension (it plays no role in holding up the mass).

Designing Your Highways!Designing Your Highways!
Turns out this stuff is actually useful for civil engineering such as road
design A NASCAR track
Let’s consider a car taking a curve, by now it’s pretty clear there must be a centripetal forces present to keep the car on the curve or, more precisely, in uniform circular motion.
This force actually comes from the friction between the wheels of the car and the road.
Don’t be misled by the outward force against the door you feel as a passenger, that’s the door pushing you inward to keep YOU on track!

How about, if the pavement is icy and s=0.25?

Looking at the car head-on the free-body diagram shows three forces, gravity, the normal force, and friction.
We see only one force offers the inward acceleration needed to maintain circular motion - friction.
First off, in order to maintain uniform circular motion the centripetal force must be:
To find the frictional force we start with the normal force, from Newton’s second law:

Back to the analysis of a skid.
Since v=0 at contact, if a car is holding the road, we can use the static coefficient of friction.
If it’s sliding, we use the kinetic coefficient of friction.
Remember, we need 3900N to stay in uniform circular motion.

The Theory of Banked CurvesThe Theory of Banked Curves
The Indy picture shows that the race cars (and street cars for that matter) require some help negotiating curves.
By banking a curve, the car’s own weight, through a component of the normal force, can be used to provide the centripetal force needed to stay on the road.
In fact for a given angle there is a maximum speed for which no friction is required at all.
From the figure this is given by

Example: Banking AngleExample: Banking Angle
Problem: For a car traveling at speed v around a curve of radius r, what is the banking angle for which no friction is required? What is the angle for a 50km/hr (14m/s) off ramp with radius 50m?
To the free-body diagram! Note that we’ve picked an unusual coordinate system. Not down the inclined plane, but aligned with the radial direction. That’s because we want to determine the component of any force or forces that may act as a centripetal force.
We are ignoring friction so the only two forces to consider are the weight mg and the normal force FN . As can be seen only the normal force has an inward component.

As we discussed earlier in the horizontal or + x direction, Newton’s 2nd law leads to:
In the vertical direction we have:
Since the acceleration in this direction is zero, solving for FN
Note that the normal force is greater than the weight.
This last result can be substituted into the first:
