Simple Harmonic Motion and Uniform Circular Motion

Uniform Circular Motion (at Four Different Point in the Orbit)

Uniform Circular Motion (at Four Different Point in the Orbit)

Velocity v and acceleration a in uniform circular motion at angular rate ω; the speed is constant, but the velocity is always tangent to the orbit; the acceleration has constant magnitude, but always points toward the center of rotation
