Define the term period

A period is the amount of time it takes an object to do one cycle. The equation is T= loops/time

What is the acceleration of an object that has a velocity of 15.0 m/s and is moving in a circle of radius 20.0 m?

a = v2/r = (15.0m/s)2/20.0 m =  11.3 m/s2

Increasing the mass of an object traveling in UCM will effect the period in what way? 

It will decrease the period. (the amount of time to do 1 circle will decrease )

An object is experiencing an acceleration of 2.0 m/s2 while traveling in a circle at a velocity of 4.0 m/s. What is the radius of its motion?

r = v2/a = (4.0m/s)2/2.0m/s2 = 8 m
