Circular Motion

The document contains a series of physics problems related to circular motion, including horizontal and vertical circular motion, conical pendulums, and banked curves. Each problem provides specific parameters such as mass, radius, and speed, and asks for calculations of forces like tension, centripetal acceleration, and normal force. Additionally, more complex problems involve satellites, roller coasters, and advanced scenarios of conical pendulums and vertical circular motion.
