Uniform Circular Motion - IB Physics

Objects moving at a constant speed around a circle are said to be in uniform circular motion. There are specific properties that cause an object to be in uniform circular motion that we can define and measure: centripetal force, centripetal acceleration, and tangential velocity. I also give other definitions in this video that can help calculate missing information. Many objects exhibit circular motion (in space, essentially all objects do) and the topic can be very intuitive if you can understand it in terms of geometry.

This guy is so underrated, the way he teach is so direct to the point hands down

[philomenangoh]

This man speaks the language of my brain cells

[runeknight]

This guy teaches better than my teacher

[aycb]

It is so great that i finally found a lesson video that is JUST PERFECT !

[Learning_with_Musti]

Best video I have seen on this topic.Well done Sir. You inspire me to be a better teacher

[danieljatombliansky]

SUPER HELPFULL, really, there aren´t a lot of videos explaining this stuff, thanks a lot

[johnnyboy]

Absolutely phenomenal job teaching this content, and $2, 000 cheaper than my uni physics classes...

[larsityosmarsilyet]

dude really, . In just 14 minutes, you really taught better than anyone. I liked and subs to your channel. Keep going like that.

[Twlghtsvd]

I’m in 12th grade and this channel is helping me so much this channel is underrated amazing video

[fliqloj]

Absolutely nailed it. Have my exams tomorrow and your videos are the best one I can find on youtube, in terms of quality and going straight to the point ✨

[highschoolphysics]

Very cool animations and timing for your teaching content. My students appreciate your work.

HOLY SMOKES, you broke that down SO WELL!!! Thank you so much

[kelvinthehuman]

Waooo....amazing explanation, without a waste. Hats off to you, Mr. Masley. Greetings from the Dominican Republic.

[sinan]

This video was pure miracle 😁 helped me a lot to understand this topic ! Thank you !!

[yeetmeat]

Are you going to cover the HL topics as well? That would be a big help, and thanks for giving us this type of quality content!

[mandysgainedmomentum]

I am an IB physics teacher and I like this video. He is an experienced IB teacher although he looks young.

[jenniferbello-ldrp]

I have an exam on this unit and this video was really helpful. So glad I found this video

[juliette]

You made it so much easier for me to understand this stuff, thank you so much!

[natrs]

Thank you so much, I understood in 15 minutes what I didn’t understand in class in 2 hours
