An object moving in a circle at constant speed is still accelerating, because its direction keeps changing. Measure angular velocity, predict centripetal acceleration, and find the force that keeps things on a curve.

Drive a car into a flat curve. Predict the centripetal force the tyres must supply, the top speed on dry and wet roads, and the tightest curve. Too little grip and the car runs wide.
