FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is uniform circular motion?
Back
Uniform circular motion is the motion of an object traveling at a constant speed in a circular path.
2.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is the direction of the velocity vector in uniform circular motion?
Back
The velocity vector is always tangent to the circular path and changes direction as the object moves.
3.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is centripetal acceleration?
Back
Centripetal acceleration is the acceleration directed towards the center of the circular path, necessary for an object to maintain circular motion.
4.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
How is centripetal acceleration calculated?
Back
Centripetal acceleration (a_c) can be calculated using the formula: a_c = v^2 / r, where v is the tangential speed and r is the radius of the circular path.
5.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is the relationship between tangential speed and radius in uniform circular motion?
Back
Tangential speed (v) is directly proportional to the radius (r) and the period (T) of the motion: v = 2πr / T.
6.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is the formula for calculating the period of an object in uniform circular motion?
Back
The period (T) is the time taken to complete one full revolution and can be calculated using T = 1/f, where f is the frequency.
7.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
How do you find the tangential speed of an object in circular motion?
Back
Tangential speed can be found using the formula: v = 2πr / T, where r is the radius and T is the period.
