Combination of Forces: Net Force: Centripetal Motion

This document is a lecture on centripetal motion and uniform circular motion. It discusses key concepts like centripetal force, net force, and period. It provides examples of centripetal force arising from tension, gravity, and friction. Examples are worked through to find velocity, tension, and acceleration in circular motion problems. Problem-solving techniques are demonstrated like using free body diagrams and trigonometric relationships.
