Circular Motion: Physics Grade X

This document is about circular motion and summarizes key concepts students are expected to understand. It describes motion along a circular path as being due to a perpendicular force that causes centripetal acceleration. Key equations for centripetal acceleration (a = v2/r, a = rω2) and centripetal force (F = mrω2, F = mv2/r) are provided. The document also discusses angular displacement measured in radians and solving problems using angular velocity.

Circular Motion
Velocity magnitude + direction
Magnitude changed acceleration
Direction changed?
There is acceleration!
Example?
Revolution of earth around sun
Solar system

Why it moves in circle?

Move in circle there is acceleration there is


force towards the center of circle
Acceleration to the center of circle
= centripetal acceleration

Centripetal acceleration (ac) :


Force to center of circle = centripetal force
(fc):
F = m.ac

How to Deal with Circular Motion?


Quantities of Circular Motion
Radian (unit for measuring angles)

1 full circle = 360


length (1 circle) = 2r
360o = 2rad
