Nonuniform Circular Motion - Ball in a Vertical Circle

The video tutorial explains the concepts of uniform and non-uniform circular motion. It discusses the forces acting on an object in circular motion, such as gravity and tension, and how these forces are broken into radial and tangential components. The tutorial also covers tangential and centripetal acceleration, providing proof of non-uniform circular motion through time measurements and energy conservation. The video concludes with observations on the motion's imperfections and reassures that the physics principles still apply.

What is the significance of the tangential acceleration in the context of circular motion?

How does centripetal acceleration vary as the ball moves around the circle?

How can we conclude that the ball is in non-uniform circular motion based on its speed?

Explain how conservation of mechanical energy relates to the motion of the ball in a vertical circle.
