Circular Motion Learning Objectives

Content

• Motion in a circular path at constant speed implies there is an acceleration and requires a centripetal force.
• Magnitude of angular speed ω = v/r = 2πf
• Radian measure of angle.
• Direction of angular velocity will not be considered.
• Centripetal acceleration a = v²/r = ω²r
• The derivation of the centripetal acceleration formula will not be examined.
• Centripetal force F = mv²/r = mω²r
