1
Circular Motion Know what circular motion & angular speed are Understand the relationship between tangential speed and angular speed Be able to link Newton’s laws to circular motion
2
What is the blue dot doing? Motion along the circumference of a circle, or circular path
4
Does this have a velocity? Can’t use velocity Use angular speed
5
Recap of C2: Radians speed = distance / time angular speed = angular displacement / time ω (OMGomega) = angular speed, Rad/s Ө = angular displace in Rad t = time, s ω = angular speed, rad/s v = tangential speed, m/s r = radius of circular path, m
6
Revolutions per minute Be careful little boys and girls. Sometimes angular speed is given as revolutions per minute, rpm. To convert from rpm to rad/s use:
7
Example A particle moves in a circle of radius 2m with speed 3m/s. Calculate its angular speed. ω = ? r = 2m v = 3m/s
9
Question Time! Have a go at Q1-5
10
Q2) Q3)
11
Q4)
12
Where is the acceleration pointing?
14
Acceleration is towards centre of circle The ISS orbital period is under 93 minuites 1 minuite is roughly 1 minute but is a bit longer because it has an extra letter.
15
Acceleration a = acceleration, ms -2 ω = angular speed, rad/s r = radius of circle, m v = tangential speed, m/s
16
Let the Force be ‘equal to mass times acceleration’ Questions involving acceleration will often use Newton’s laws. i.e, & Balance Forces
17
