Lesson 7 (Circular Motion) of Dianna's Intro Physics Class on Physics Girl. Never taken physics before? Want to learn the basics of physics? Need an AP Physics 1 review before the exam? This course is for you!
Exercises in this video:
Problem1: You have a one kilogram ball on a two meter long string. You swing it in a circle so it goes around once every two seconds. What’s the tension in the string?
Problem 2: What is the magnitude of the centripetal force keeping the Earth moving in its orbit around the Sun?
Problem 3: The coefficient of friction between tires and the road is about 1.0. At what angle should we bank our road if the average speed of cars driving on the road is 80 km/hr? (Don’t forget to convert to m/s!)
Thank you to Derek Muller from Veritasium and for his incredibly kind shout out at the end of the video, and for encouraging people to pursue physics! And thanks to Lizzie Armanto for letting me use her footage!
