DynamicsofUniformCircularMotion匀速圆周运动的动力学第1页/共18页 Centripetal AccelerationUniform circular motion emphasizes that velocity vector is constant – but the direction of this constant velocity is not constant.By definition, acceleration is the change in velocity over time. The “change in velocity” for an object in UCM is the change in the velocity vector. The acceleration that occurs is toward the center of the circle. It is the force that is pulling the object “in” 第2页/共18页 Centripetal AccelerationThe centripetal acceleration (the acceleration toward the center of a circle) of an object
