Study Notes
Particle Motion on a Circular Path
- Particle moves on a circular path with decreasing speed, indicating a change in velocity.
- Angular momentum does not remain constant, as the speed is decreasing.
- Acceleration is towards the center of the circular path due to centripetal force.
Rotating Disc
- A disc rotates about an axis through its center and perpendicular to its plane.
- Point P on the disc is twice as far from the axis as point Q, indicating a difference in radial distance.
- Points P and Q have different velocities due to their varying distances from the axis of rotation.
