Circular motion is a little different from straight-line motion in a few different ways. Objects that move in circles are roller coasters in a loop, satellites in orbit, DVDs spinning in a player, kids on a merry go round, solar systems rotating in the galaxy, making a left turn in your car, water through a coiled hose, and so much more.

    hi, it’s Wyatt, I have been thinking about something I am very unable to figure out. so photons are waves. if you shake an electron one of these things is produced, an electric field turning into a magnetic field then electric etc is what a photon is. these photons spread out like butter. but unlike butter, they spread in 3 dimensions if I am correct, so if they spread themselves out along with their energy (amplitude), then how do other electrons absorb them if they are spread out in all directions? or do they just travel in a single direction like an electron or proton and do not spread out unlike butter.

    thanks
