Uniform Circular Motion and Centripetal Force

Enough of this moving in straight lines business, let's go in circles! Circular motion may not be productive but it's super fun. Ferris wheels are fun. Yes they are, don't be a spoilsport. Roller coasters are fun too. And merry-go-rounds. And learning about centripetal force. Look, I don't understand why you're resisting so much, we are talking about a freaking amusement park. Fine, be that way, I'll go by myself. You stay here and learn this math!

Check out "Is This Wi-Fi Organic?", my book on disarming pseudoscience!

Your 6 minute video summarized what my teacher was trying to explain for two hours!
Extremely helpful thanks!

i love the way he teaches..way better than the professor i have in uni

[sarahholland]

this video is so simple but well-made... i'm studying for finals and when i started struggling with centripetal acceleration i had to come back to this specific video to remember it again. thank you professor dave!!

[obvea]

I appreciate the fact that all your videos are not long and they are easy to understand. Thank you Dave

[bclaytz]

Dave, I love you dude. I am reviewing A Level physics after graduating with a physics degree 11 years ago and I've forgotten everything. You explain everything so well, it's amazing. Thanks a bunch!

[mahbubrashid]

Right now, your videos are the favorite shows for me(Youtube/TV)....every now and then I check whether you have uploaded a video or you so much for making science so easy to comprehend!

[edwardwoods]

I have fallen in 😍 with your channel Dave. It's a perfect balance of thoroughness and brevity.

00:01 Uniform circular motion requires different equations
00:47 Uniform circular motion involves constant tangential speed and a constant radius.
01:30 Shorter distance in same time means slower speed
02:07 Centripetal force causes constant change in direction.
02:47 Centripetal force is generated by centripetal acceleration.
03:31 Centripetal force keeps objects in circular motion
04:11 Centrifugal force is not a real force, it's due to inertia.
04:49 Uniform Circular Motion and Centripetal Force explained

No cap, this dude keeps me sane. THANK YOU!

[sophie]

I am on a conquest of watching the whole playlist.

[lbrandon]

Thank you very much you are very appreciative Professor Dave Hats off

3:54

Owh, no.... that would hurt.... XD

[Insigniume]

Thank you so much. I missed a week of school and wanted to catch up on physics, and you explained in 6 minutes what my teacher explains in 3 classes! And you explained it way more clearly and simply than him.

[jerryleivon]

Awesome teaching... Made the whole chapter easy! Thank you so much

[pykdpwy]

I have an exam tomorrow, you literally explained everything I need to know in 6 minutes. Amazing!

[sheetalmadi]

You have answered many of my questions in this little video..What is more beautiful than this😁..

[DustinTheHuman]

it looks like jesus christ has reincarnated lmao

Oof, i just remembered that I'm Catholic and we believe in ressurection 🤸

[malaypaul]

1 min of Dave's vdo is equivalent to 1 HR of my school tchr

[toad]

You always save the day, you're getting me through a college physics class. Thanks so much!

[TheCheese]

Thank you proff Dave !!!
Have you considered doing a short Electricity series ?
