Study Notes
Angular Motion
- Angular displacement is the angle through which an object rotates.
- The unit for angular velocity is radians per second (rad/s).
Circular Motion
- The time taken by an object to complete one revolution on its circular path is called the period.
- Centripetal acceleration is the acceleration of an object moving in a circular path, directed towards the center of the circle.
Relative Motion
- Relative velocity refers to the velocity of an object with respect to another object or a reference frame.
Angular Acceleration
- Angular acceleration is the rate of change of angular velocity.
Projectile Motion
- A body thrown with some initial velocity in two dimensions under the action of gravity alone is called a projectile.
- The path that an object follows when thrown at an angle with the horizontal direction is called a trajectory.
- The principle that states horizontal and vertical motions are independent of each other is the fundamental principle of projectile motion.
- The movement of an object along the circumference of a circle along a circular path is called circular motion.
Projectile Motion Scenarios
- An object projected from a point with velocity u above the ground can have x0 = 0 and y0 = 0 at time t = 0, which is a scenario of vertical projection.
- Examples of projectile motion include throwing a ball, kicking a football, or launching a rocket.
Test your knowledge on uniform circular motion, which involves an object moving in a circle at a constant speed while constantly changing its direction. This quiz covers concepts such as angular displacement and examples of uniform circular motion.
