Hello!
Why does resistance to acceleration depend on both the velocity of the object as well as the direction of the force?
In circular motion, we can measure the centripetal force and centripetal acceleration, then we can calculate objects mass. Speed remains constant.
But we would get the same result for force acting parallel to an object, where velocity would change?
Thanks!
