The line

by which the rotation occurs is called axis of rotation

Tangential Speek:Is the object's speed along an

Depeals on the distance from the objectto the center of the circular path.
When the

Centripetal force:Is the net force directed toward the center of the
circle

for better understacking.

·To herive the equation for centripetal force, Newton's seluch law is
applich
to the equation of centripetal acceleration.

is a centripetal force thatkeeps the car in a

circular motion.
