Why circular motion still involves acceleration

Why circular motion still involves acceleration

Particle on a circular path with tangential velocity and inward centripetal acceleration and force labelled

Uniform circular motion means moving around a circle at constant speed. The speed stays the same, but the velocity changes because its direction changes at every point.

Step-by-step lessons on Edexcel A Level Physics Circular motion. Each one builds up to exam-style questions. Physics is one of the most mathematically demanding A Levels -- at least 40% of the marks across the three papers require maths skills at Level 2 (GCSE) standard or above, so build calculation and graph-handling fluency alongside the conceptual content from the start.
