This attempt of PowerPoint presentation has been prepared with special objectives
to build basic to advanced understanding of contents of circular motion.
Special attention has been paid in corelating various linear and angular quantities
that could be equally helpful for attempting multiple choice questions as well as
structured questions. This would be very much helpful and productive for the students
following IGCSE, O-Level, AS-level, A-level and IB (SL and HL) Physics curricula
affiliated with CAIE, Edexcel and AQA boards.

, CIRCULAR MOTION
InPREVIEW
the absence of external force body is either at rest or moves with uniform velocity
in a straight line (Newton’s first law). Every circular motion is under the action
of force that stands responsible to bend linear motion in circular one. This is equally
valid for subatomic level to intermediate and finally to cosmological level
Cosmological world
Subatomic world Gravitational force responsible
Electrostatic force responsible
Common world
Tension in the string is responsible Frictional force responsible
