Circular Motion Example 1

The video tutorial explains the concept of circular motion, focusing on a car traveling at a constant speed of 60 km/h around a circular path with a radius of 100 meters. It covers the tangential and normal components of velocity and acceleration vectors, and provides mathematical equations to calculate the magnitude of acceleration. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of using SI units and demonstrates the calculation of acceleration as 2.78 m/s², showing that it is purely in the normal direction due to the constant speed of the car.
