Learn the key differences between centripetal and centrifugal forces, their real-world applications in physics, and how they shape our understanding of circular motion.

In this study, the authors recorded from the cerebellum while monkeys experienced an illusory perception of self-motion, and found that the neurons encoded the erroneous linear acceleration. Their ...

In this Closer Look segment on circular motion, we investigate circular motion and solve for centripetal acceleration, centripetal force, and tangential velocity. Aired 08/16/2018.

Segment 3G: Circular Motion We travel to an amusement park to explore circular motion. We work through an example problem and define such terms as tangential velocity and centripetal acceleration ...
