direction towards which you are pushing it. No work is done if the

Circular motion is another simple type of motion. If an object
has constant speed but an acceleration always at right angles to its
velocity, it will travel in a circle. The required acceleration is directed
toward the center of the circle and is called centripetal acceleration.
For an object traveling at speed, v, in a circle of radius, r, the
centripetal acceleration is

Any force that causes an object to follow a circular path is
called a centripetal force. Centripetal means “center seeking,” or
“toward the center”. Sometimes an outward force is attributed to
circular motion. This outward force is called centrifugal force.
Centrifugal means “center-fleeing,” or “away from the center.”
Work, product of a force applied to a body and the
displacement of the body in the direction of the applied force. The unit
of work is called joule. While work is done on a body, there is a
transfer of energy to the body, and so work can be said to be energy in
transit. The units of work are identical to those of energy. If, for
example, an object is lifted from the floor to the top of a table, work is
done in overcoming the downward force of gravity, and the energy
imparted to the body as work will increase its potential energy. Work
is also expended when a force accelerates a body, such as the
acceleration of an airplane because of the thrust forces developed by
