What is Uniform Circular Motion?

Back

Uniform Circular Motion is the motion of an object traveling at a constant speed along a circular path.

Front

What is Centripetal Acceleration?

Back

Centripetal acceleration is the acceleration that occurs in circular motion, directed towards the center of the circle.

Front

What is the direction of Centripetal Acceleration?

Back

Centripetal acceleration always points towards the center of the circle.

Front

What is the relationship between velocity and circular motion?

Back

The velocity of an object in circular motion is always tangent to the circle at any point.

Front

What happens to the direction of velocity in Uniform Circular Motion?

Back

In Uniform Circular Motion, the direction of velocity continuously changes while its magnitude remains constant.

Front

If a ball is revolving clockwise, what is the direction of its velocity at point B?

Back

The direction of the velocity at point B is down.

Front

If a ball is revolving clockwise, what is the direction of its acceleration at point A?

Back

The direction of the acceleration at point A is down.

Front

If a ball is revolving clockwise, what is the direction of its acceleration at point B?

Back

The direction of the acceleration at point B is left.

Front

What is the formula for Centripetal Acceleration?

Back

Centripetal Acceleration (a_c) = v²/r, where v is the linear speed and r is the radius of the circular path.

Front

What is the effect of increasing speed on Centripetal Acceleration?

Back

Increasing the speed of an object in circular motion increases the centripetal acceleration.
