Solve problems, model and make quantitative predictions about objects executing uniform circular motion in a variety of situations

Advanced Mechanics > Circular Motion >

  • Whenever solving problems for uniform circular motion, identify the force that is contributing as the centripetal force.,
  • Then equate the force with the required centripetal force centripetal force

πœ” gives angular speed.

Ξ”πœƒΒ  gives the angle covered in time t

relationship between angular speed πœ”Β  and linear speed 𝑣 isΒ  :
