Explain why centripetal acceleration changes the direction of velocity in circular motion but not its magnitude.
An athlete swings a ball, connected to the end of a chain, in a horizontal circle. The athlete is able to rotate the ball at the rate of 8.00 rev/s when the length of the chain is 6.600 m.

Harry Potter decides to take Pottery 101 as an elective to satisfy his arts requirement at Hog warts. He sets some clay (m = 3.25 kg) on the edge of a pottery wheel (r = 0.600 m), which is initially motionless.

What is the centripetal acceleration of the clay initially and when the initial 3.00 s has passed? c. What is the magnitude of the constant tangential acceleration responsible for starting the clay in circular motion?
