2.4 Uniform and also Circular Movements

Here are several very different movements, although they are all uniform. When the trajectory described is a circumference and the body moves at a constant speed we say that it demonstrates a UNIFORM CIRCULAR MOVEMENT.

Different types of movement
 . Trajectory and speed
 . Find out how it moves
Uniform movement
 . Constant speed
 . How fast is it going?
 . Data table
 . Circular
 . Compare the speeds
Varied movements
 . How fast is it going?
Representations of movements
 . Vectors
 . Tables and graphs of Uniform Mov.
