Can an object moving with a constant speed have acceleration?

How do we find the speed of an object going in a circle?
Measure the time it takes for the object to complete a certain
number of revolutions.
EXAMPLE: We know an object makes 10 revolutions in 2 seconds.
With the information given we know the frequency of each revolution.

DYNAMICS of Circular Motion
Revisiting Newton’s 2" Law
Newton stated that if a body is
accelerating, there must be a NET force
acting on it, in the direction of the
acceleration.
The NET force the cause circular motion
is called the CENTRIPETAL force.
Note: This is not a new type of force, we
will treat it very much the same as we did any NET force.
