Q: I was wondering which equations of Circular Motion will be provided in quiz/exam. Also, could you review how to derive certain circular/orbiting motion equations that we might need to use in quiz/exam from the equations given. Like the period equation: T^2=(4pi^2r^3)/(GM)
But I am confused on how to get to this equation.

A: The equations usually given include: F_c, a_c, T, f, v, and F_G (see the attached picture for the detailed equations). As an example, I also showed how to derive the equation of T^2 step-by-step on the picture.
