Centripetal Acceleration
In uniform circular motion the acceleration is called the
centripetal, or radial, acceleration. It is perpendicular to the
velocity and points towards the center of the circle.

Rotational Motion and The Law of Gravity
Is it possible for an object moving with a constant speed
to accelerate? Explain.
A) Yes, although the speed is constant, the direction
of the velocity can be changing.
B) No, if the speed is constant then the acceleration
is equal to zero.
C) No, an object can accelerate only if there is a
net force acting on it.
D) Yes, if an object is moving it can experience
acceleration

The banking angle in a turn on the Olympic bobsled track
is not constant, but increases upward from the horizontal.
Coming around a turn, the bobsled team will intentionally
"climb the wall," then go lower coming out of the turn.
Why do they do this?
A) to give the team better control, because they are able
to see ahead of the turn
B) to prevent the bobsled from turning over
C) to take the turn at a faster speed
D) to reduce the g-force on them
