A2 Circular Motion

If an object moves in a……………………..path, it is known as circular motion.


Uniform circular motion can be described as the motion of an object in a
circular at a ………………………………….

Angular Displacement (θ)

When an object moves in a circular path the …………………. Subtended at the


………………is called angular displacement.

Angular displacement I measured in …………………..or ……………….

Angular Velocity (ω)

The rate of change of angular displacement is called angular velocity.

The time taken to complete one revolution is called period (T)

The number of revolution per second is called frequency,

Linear Velocity (v)

The direction of linear velocity of the object is …………………to the circular path.

Centripetal Acceleration (a)

When an object moves in a circular path, the velocity of the object


………………….as the moving ………………..changes. Changing velocity causes
object to ………………………. towards ……………….of the circular path. So it is
called centripetal acceleration.

Centripetal Force

Changing velocity causes…………………….towards the Centre of the circular path,


so according to newton’s second law, there must be a …………………………
towards the Centre. This resultant force is known as the …………………………….

Q1) a) Calculate the angular velocity, in rad/s, corresponding to 20 revolutions per


minute.

b) If the radius is 2.5m, find the linear speed?

c) If the mass of the object is 600g. Find the centripetal acceleration and centripetal
force
