5b Circular Motion Quiz alevel edexcel

The time period of a wave is:

• The reciprocal of its frequency

• The time it takes to complete one cycle

• The distance between two consecutive crests

• The maximum displacement of the wave

Angular velocity is defined as the:

• Change in angular displacement per unit time

• Rate of change of frequency

• Reciprocal of time period

• Change in linear velocity per unit time

Centripetal acceleration is directed:

• Tangentially to the circular path

• Radially inward towards the center of the circle

• Radially outward away from the center of the circle

• Perpendicular to the circular path

Angular displacement is a measure of:

• Linear distance traveled

• Change in velocity

• Change in angular position

• Linear acceleration

Centripetal force is responsible for:

• Maintaining the speed of an object in circular motion

• Pulling objects away from the center of the circle

• Causing objects to move in a straight line

• Keeping objects in circular motion by providing the necessary inward force

Radians area unit used to measure:

• Distance

• Speed

• Time

• Angle

Frequency is defined as the:

• Time it takes to complete one oscillation

• Number of cycles completed per unit time

• Distance traveled in one oscillation

• Angular displacement per unit time
