In uniform circular motion, the net force is perpendicular to the velocity and changes the direction of the velocity but not the speed. If a projectile is launched horizontally,the net force (ignoring air resistance) is perpendicular to the initial velocity, and yet the projectile gains speed as it falls. What is the difference between the two situations?

A skateboarder is attempting to make a circular arc of radius r = 11 m in a parking lot. The total mass of the skateboard and skateboarder is m = 86 kg. The coefficient of static friction between the surface of the parking lot and the wheels of the skateboard is μs = 0.59 . He speeds up very slightly and begins to slide. The coefficient of kinetic friction is μk = 0.21. What is the new magnitude of his radial acceleration in m/s2?
