    Study Notes

    Circular Motion

    • Circular motion refers to the movement of an object in a circle around a fixed point (the center).
    • Angular velocity (ω) is the rate of change of angle of rotation. It's measured in radians per second (rad/s).
    • Period (T) is the time taken for one complete revolution. Its unit is seconds (s).
    • Frequency (f) is the number of revolutions per second, measured in Hertz (Hz).
    • Linear speed (v) is the rate of change of distance with time. It's constant in circular motion but the direction is changing, resulting in changing velocity.
    • An object moving in a circular path has a constant speed but a changing velocity due to the continuous change in direction.
    • Centripetal acceleration (a) is the acceleration directed toward the center of the circle. It's dependent on the speed (v) and the radius (r). The formula is: a = v²/r.
    • Centripetal force is the force that keeps the object moving in a circular path. It's directed towards the center of the circle. The formula is: F = mv²/r, or F = mω²r.
    • Centrifugal force is an outward force experienced by a body moving in a circular path.

    Period and Frequency

    • Period (T) is the time taken for one complete revolution. The relationship between period and frequency is: T = 1/f.
    • Frequency (f) is the number of revolutions per second.

    Circular Motion Examples

    • A body whirled in a horizontal circle by a string: The tension in the string provides the centripetal force.
    • A body whirled in a vertical circle by a string: The tension in the string varies with position. At the top it's at minimum for minimum tension and maximum at the bottom for maximum tension

    Centripetal and Centrifugal Forces

    • Centripetal force is the force that keeps a body moving in a circular path. It's directed toward the center.
    • Centrifugal force is an outward force experienced by a body moving in a circular path. It's an apparent force, not a real one. The centripetal force is what counterbalances the perceived centrifugal force.
