Why somebody needs to know about circular motion
• Otherwise we wouldn’t go on those rides?
• Space station , satellites, live from overseas
• Planets, Comets and Moons
Uniform Circular Motion
• Velocity is a vector, it has both direction and magnitude
• Simplest case: direction constant, magnitude changes. Linear Motion
• We will now study another “simple” case: magnitude is constant and direction continually changes.
• Uniform Circular Motion

is a ratio of two lengths; it is a dimensionless ratio! This is a radian measure of angle
If we go all the way round s =2πr and Δθ =2 π

A) 0.48 rad. B) 6.0 rad. C) 1.5 rad. D) 3.0 rad.

If we move around a circle we change θ.
How fast does θ change?
The average and instantaneous angular velocities ω are:

• For circular motion—How far do you travel during Δt if you are spinning at an angular velocity ω?
• How far? s = Δθ r = ω Δt r• How fast? (speed)• v = s/Δt =ωr
v =ωr

The time it takes to go one time around a closed path is called the period (T).

f is called the frequency, the number of revolutions (or cycles) per second.
f = 1/T

Centripetal Acceleration
Here, v 0.
The direction of v is changing.
If v 0, then a 0. The net force cannot be zero.
Consider an object moving in a circular path of radius r at constant speed.

Conclusion: to move in a circular path, an object must have a nonzero net force acting on it.
It is always true that F = ma.
What acceleration do we use?
21
The velocity of a particle is tangent to its path.
For an object moving in uniform circular motion, the acceleration is radially inward.
22
All three angles =Δθ = Δr/r =vΔt/rΔv=vΔθ = v2 Δt/r
23
The magnitude of the radial acceleration is:

var 2

Δv=vΔθ = v2 Δt/r
ar = Δv/Δt = v2Δt/rΔt
What makes it go round?
A particle in circular motion is accelerating sothere must be a force providing this acceleration
• F =ma • = mv2/r
Question
A spider is sitting on a turntable that is rotating at 33rpm. The acceleration a of the spider is
• A) greater the closer the spider is to the central axis.
• B) greater the farther the spider is from the central axis.
• C) nonzero and independent of his location.• D) zero.

Centrifuge
• Salad spinners, spin drying , Uranium centrifuges• Need force to keep spinning. If object overcomes
that force it moves out of circle.(spinners, drying)• More massive particles are harder to rotate• Fr = Mv2/r (uranium)
• If there is no normal force or friction (which depend on M) more massive particles will be “thrown” out of circle.
Question
• An object is in uniform circular motion. Which of the following statements is true?
• A) Velocity = constant• B) Speed = constant• C) Acceleration = constant• D) Both B and C are true

Unbanked and Banked Curves
Example (text problem 5.20): A highway curve has a radius of 825 m. At what angle should the road be banked so that a car traveling at 26.8 m/s has no tendency to skid sideways on the road? (Hint: No tendency to skid means the frictional force is zero.)
Take the car’s motion to be into the page.

There is now an acceleration tangent to the path of the particle.
