What is the cause of uniform circular motion???
Uniform circular motion is actually a specific type of motion. An object is undergoing uniform circular motion if it is traveling at a constant speed while moving in a circle. For example, if you drive a car around a circle while maintaining a constant speed, you are performing uniform circular motion. If it makes you feel better, you could even wear a uniform while driving. The main requirements for uniform circular motion are a constant speed and motion in a circle. The object has to move in a circle and not some other shape.
The realm of physics consists of two types of circular motion: uniform circular motion and non-uniform circular motion. Uniform circular motion describes motion in which an object moves with constant speed along a circular path. Acceleration and velocity Since the velocity is tangent to the circular path, no two velocities point in the same direction. Although the object has a constant speed, its direction is always changing. This change in velocity causes the object to accelerate. Similar to the velocity, the acceleration’s magnitude is held constant and the direction is forever changing. Such an object experiences a constantly changing acceleration pointing radially inwards (centripetally), which is perpendicular to its velocity. This acceleration is known as centripetal acceleration. The magnitude of the acceleration is given by a = v2 / r, where v is the speed of the object and r is the radius of its path, or a = (4π2r) / t2, where r is the radius of the object and t is the time it
