When learning about circular motion, you often learn about two particular topics: centripetal acceleration and circular velocity.

Earlier you established an understanding of what circular motion is.

Now let’s take a moment to learn about mathematical calculations for circular movement by visiting the following links to the "Physics Classroom."

• Circles
• Centripetal Force

When you have finished reviewing the information, complete the “Check for Understanding” section at the end of the tutorials.

As you click on each equation below, a pop-up box will explain the various components of that equation.
