    Study Notes

    Circular Motion

    • The relation 𝒗 = 𝒓𝝎 does not hold for tangential and angular velocity vectors that point in different directions.

    Uniform Circular Motion

    • The angular velocity is constant in uniform circular motion.
    • Apply Newton's laws of motion and energy conservation principles to analyze circular motion in:
      • Vertical plane (e.g., motion in a vertical loop of an amusement park ride)
      • Horizontal plane (e.g., rotating cylinder, moving through a levelled or banked curve)

    Rotating Cylinder

    • Example: a cylinder of radius 0.7 m rotating about its axis at 10 rad/s.
