Dynamics of Uniform Circular Motion An object moving on a circular path of radius r at a constant speed v As motion is not on a straight line, the direction of the velocity vector is not constant The motion is circular Example Example * * Compare to: 1D – straight line 2D – parabola Velocity vector is always tangent to the circle Velocity direction constantly changing, but magnitude remains constant Vectors r and v are always perpendicular Since the velocity direction always changes, this means that the velocity is not constant (though speed is constant), therefore the object is
