I. Circular motion
You have already learn about Uniform straight line motion. How do we define it ?
Similarly, who can define Uniform circular motion ? - Circular motion is defined as motion of the body in circular path, at constant speed
s r.
: (rad) t : (s)
SI unit of
is rad/s
2. Period (T)
3. Frequency (f)
1 f T
f have unit is (Hz)
Worked Examples A ball travels in circular motion with radius 2 (m). In 2 second, a ball travelled 5 revolution. a)Find period of ball b)Find speed
Solution
a)
Consider a particle moving from Point A to point B along an arc length s and radius r
We know that the time taken the earth moving around the sum is a year The other example is the time taken the earth moving around itself is a 24 hour.
In these case the time travelled is call period. How can you understand the period ?
