Flashcards

Vertical velocity zero point

At the highest and lowest points of circular motion, vertical velocity is zero.

Horizontal velocity during vertical zero

Horizontal velocity remains constant during circular motion, even when vertical velocity is zero.

Force same as velocity effect

When force is in the same direction as velocity, the object's speed increases.

Force opposite velocity effect

When force is in the opposite direction of velocity, the object's speed decreases.

Study Notes

Uniform Circular Motion

  • Motion of an object moving in a circular path with a constant speed
  • Requirements:
    • Constant net force towards the center of the circle
    • Constant velocity at a 90° angle to the net force
  • Centripetal Force: Net force on an object moving in a circle, always directed toward the center.
  • Centrifugal Force: Not a real force. It's a perceived outward force experienced by objects moving in a circle.
  • Tangential Velocity: The distance an object travels around a circle divided by the time taken.
    • Measured in meters per second (m/s)
  • Radius: The distance from the center of the circle to the object's path.
    • Measured in meters (m).
  • Centripetal Acceleration: Acceleration of the object pointing towards the center of the circle.
    • Always in the same direction as the force.
  • Period: Time taken for one complete cycle of the circular motion.
    • Measured in seconds (s).
  • Frequency: Number of cycles completed in one second.
    • Measured in Hertz (Hz).
  • Angular Frequency: Rate of rotation measured in radians.
    • Formula: 𝜔 = 2𝜋/𝑇, where T is the period.
    • Formula: 𝜔 = 2𝜋f, where f is the frequency.
