Uniform Circular Motion
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Motion along a circular path / arc. | Circular Motion |
| Types of Circular motion | Uniform and Non-Uniform |
| What is Uniform Circular Motion? | Circular motion with constant speed. |
| What is Non-Uniform Circular Motion? | Circular motion with changing speed. |
| Motion of an object traveling along a circular path at a constant speed but with changing velocity. | Uniform Circular Motion |
| Acceleration has constant magnitude but varying direction. | Uniform Circular Motion |
| Velocity and acceleration are always perpendicular | Uniform Circular Motion |
| means center seeking. | Centripetal Acceleration |
| Motion that repeat itself after a fixed time. | Periodic Motion |
| Time for one revolution (revolution (one complete trip around the circle). | Period (T) |
| When an object moves in a circle, it must | accelerate |
| The acceleration directs toward the BLANK of the circle. | centre |
| According to Newton’s 2nd law, there has to be a BLANK to produce such acceleration. | force |
| This force must point toward the centre of the circle | (Centripetal Force) |
| What is referred to as the number of revolutions completed by an object in a given time? | Frequency |
| What do we call the time required for an object to make one complete revolution? | Period |
| A body is said to be in rotatory motion if it moves about a | fixed axis |
| A motion that repeats itself after equal intervals of time is known as | Periodic Motion |
| OTHER TYPE OF MOTION | Rotary motion and periodic motion |
