2. What is Circular Motion?
• - Movement of an object along a circular path.
• - Constant change in direction even if speed is
uniform.
• - Caused by a centripetal force directed
toward the center.
4. Important Terms
• - Radius (r): Distance from the center.
• - Angular velocity (ω): Rate of change of angle.
• - Period (T): Time to complete one revolution.
• - Frequency (f): Number of revolutions per
second.
5. Centripetal Force
• - Force required to keep an object in circular
path.
• - Directed toward the center of the circle.
• - Formula: Fc = mv²/r
6. Centrifugal Force (Fictitious)
• - Apparent force experienced in a rotating
frame.
• - Acts outward from the center.
• - Not a real force, but an effect of inertia.
7. Equations of Circular Motion
• - Linear velocity: v = rω
• - Centripetal acceleration: a = v²/r = rω²
• - Period: T = 2πr / v = 2π / ω
8. Examples in Daily Life
• - Satellite orbiting Earth.
• - Vehicle taking a circular turn.
• - Amusement park rides.
• - Rotating ceiling fan.
9. Applications of Circular Motion
• - Astronomy: Planetary motion.
• - Engineering: Gear systems and turbines.
• - Transportation: Roads, railways, and
centrifuges.
10. Conclusion
• - Circular motion is fundamental in physics.
• - Understanding it helps explain natural and
technological phenomena.
