Circular motion: Whirling stone & downforce in Formula 1

Description

This lecture covers the concept of circular motion, illustrated through the example of a stone whirled in a vertical plane. It also delves into the downforce in Formula 1 cars, explaining how airfoils generate significant downward force. The lecture explores the physics behind these phenomena, including angular velocity calculations and the impact of downforce on car performance.
