This student tutorial illustrates how circular motion principles can be combined with Newton's Second Law to analyze physical situations. The author uses free-body diagrams to analyze various forces acting upon a car moving in a circle. Two algebraic problems and detailed solutions are provided, plus a five-step model for solving circular motion problems.
