The circular motion is a motion in which the distance of a particle (radius) moving in a plane from

a fixed point (center) remains constant then its motion. The Circular motion is a 2D motion in a
plane. It can be classified into two types: uniform with constant speed and constant angular
rotation rate or non-uniform with changing rotation rate.

Variables of Motion:
Angular Position: The angle subtended by the position vector with the reference line is called the
angular position of a particle.

Angular Displacement (θ): It is the angle by which the position vector of the moving particle is
rotated with respect to the reference line. It is the dimensionless quantity and its SI unit is radian.
The angular displacement is also measured in degrees or revolutions.

Angular Velocity (ω): If  θ1 and θ2 are angular positions of a particle at t1 and t2
respectively, then, the average angular velocity is given by:

ωav=Total time taken/ Total angle of rotation= θ2−θ1 =Δθ / Δt /
