Study Notes
Angle Measurements
- Angles are measured in both degrees and radians
- 1° = 1/360 of a full circle
- To convert from degrees to radians, multiply by π/180
Linear Velocity
- Linear velocity (v) is the speed of a particle in a direction perpendicular to the radius at that point
- v = ωr
- Unit of linear velocity: ms-1
Angular Velocity
- Angular velocity (ω) is the rate of change of angle with respect to time
- ω = θ/t
- Unit of angular velocity: rad/s
Periodic Time
- Periodic time (T) is the time taken for one complete revolution, cycle or oscillation
- T = 2πr/v
- T = 2π/ω
- Unit of periodic time: seconds (s)
Centripetal Acceleration
- Centripetal acceleration is the acceleration of an object traveling in uniform circular motion
- It is directed towards the centre of the circle
- Vector quantity with unit: m/s²
Centripetal and Centrifugal Forces
- Centripetal force is the force required to maintain uniform circular motion
- It is directed towards the centre of the circle
- Vector quantity with unit: newton (N)
- Centrifugal force is the force outward due to an object moving in circular motion
- The centripetal force is balanced by a reaction force, the centrifugal force
