Non-Uniform Circular Motion Problems, Centripetal Acceleration & Tangential Acceleration, Physics

This physics video tutorial explains how to solve non-uniform circular motion problems which cover topics like centripetal acceleration, tangential acceleration and net acceleration. Non-uniform circular motion occurs when an object moves in a circle with a change in speed. The centripetal acceleration arises due to a change a direction but the tangential acceleration is present due to a change in speed.

Whenever i search up a concept im struggling in, I always hope your name pops up to teach me

[dave]

Thank you. Not a lot of videos about non uniform that actually goes into the math much

[prince_m_h_d]

You are the best
I got A+ in Physics because of you .

[gabe]

Professor did not explain it like this! super helpful

[bman]

another great video. thanks for all the help

[faresabowandi]

What if the object didn't start from rest
which speed do i use to calculate the centripetal acceleration?

[jacobvandijk]

Would be nice if you had a video on the Corliolis-acceleration too ;-)

[yxhbbqt]

great great great great vedio and helps a lot on my test!

how do I taugle this...
1. A pendulum bob of mass 1.0 kg is attached to a string 1.0m long and made to revolve
in a horizontal cycle of radius 0.6m. Find the period of the motion and the tension of
-2
the string (assume g = 10 ms
).

[peronkop]

What if I don't have a time and the only thing I got is the start speed, end speed, the chord and the radius? Can I know the tangential acceleration then?

[Ej-sgpx]

Sir ac=acostheta please explain what the value of theta will be?

What’s the difference between tangential speed and acceleration and what’s the formulae or how do u find tangential speed if there is a difference?

[sudarshanregmi]

11:27 why is angle in degrees and not in radians?

[mathematicsforphysics]

What is the direction of net force in non uniform accerlation? Can we calculate the angle in this case?

[ChrisTuckerCarlzyn]

What does the angle theta represent?, the angle with respect to what?

[Suhana_.]

The object is moving with a constant rate of change in velocity but the rate of change in speed is variable. Is this type of motion possible ??

[tomatrix]

I think it’s important to add, that with the first example, the net acceleration calculated is in respect to 5 seconds with the speed of 40m/s. Though tangental Acceleration would be constant, the Fc increases with time, so if he calculated the Fc at a speed different to 40, let’s say 20m/s, we would get a lower Fc, so the net acceleration would be the sq rt. of 8^2 [our constant Tangental Ac] . 20^2/800[ Our Contripetal Ac at the speed 20m/s.

[pyrojayxx]

whats net acceleration for? it's not in my school material...

[sergiorome]

the angle seems wrong, well I guess it also depends on point of refernece? am I wrong?
