Everyday examples of circular motion include merry-go-rounds, Ferris wheels, and Roller Coasters. Cars on curved sections of highways and satellites in orbit also undergo circular motion.

A common example of circular motion is a ball being swung in a circle on the end of a string. As the ball moves in a circular path, it experiences centripetal acceleration directed towards the center of the circle. This type of motion arises when an object constantly changes direction while maintaining a constant speed.
