🌀 5. Circular Motion

📖 Theory – 🌀 5. Circular Motion

Circular motion is motion in a circular path at constant speed.

Angular velocity ω = θ/t = 2π/T = 2πf, where T is period and f is frequency.

Speed v = ωr, where r is the radius of the circle.

Centripetal acceleration a = v²/r = ω²r.

Centripetal force F = mv²/r = mω²r, directed towards the centre.

The period T is the time for one complete revolution.

Banked tracks use the horizontal component of normal reaction to provide centripetal force.
