A cycle is one unit of
motion that repeats.
A period (T) is the time it takes for one complete cycle, usually measured in seconds (s).
What is the period of each ball?
Blue ball revolves around the red dot in repeated cycles.

FrequencyThe frequency is the number of cyclesper unit of time. One common unit forfrequency () is the hertz (Hz).
1 Hz = cycle/second
Does ball A or B have the highest frequency?

Period and Frequency are inversely related. As period increase, frequency decreases.

Objects in uniform circular motion maintain a constant linear velocity, alsoknown a tangentialvelocity, due to it’s inertia.

Tangential velocity – the instantaneous
linear velocity of an object along the tangent to the object’s circular path.
Linear velocity equation:
For an object in uniform circular motion:
T = period of time for one revolution

Objects in circular motion are accelerating.By definition, acceleration is a change invelocity. Since velocity is a vector quantity,acceleration may be a change in speed,direction or both.

Objects that move in circular
paths are accelerating, even
when they are traveling with
constant speed, because
they are constantly changing
direction.

Centripetal vs. Centrifugal
Centripetal forces-real forces that are directedtoward the center of anobject’s circular path.(friction, tension, gravity, etc.)
Centrifugal forces-
not truly forces because theyare attributable to inertia.
(no actual unbalance forcepushing out)

Remember F = ma?
Accelerations are the result of an unbalanced force acting on an object.
For objects in circular motion, the unbalanced force that produces circular motion is called centripetal force.

Centripetal ForcesCentripetal forces are directed towardthe center of an object’s curved path.
Centripetal forces are
always
unbalanced
forces…because they result
in centripetal
accelerations…
accelerations that
change the direction
of an object’s path.

Example Problem:A test car (m= 800 kg) moves at a constant speed around a circular track.
If the car is 48.2 meters from the track’s center, and takes 20 seconds to
go around the track,
(a) What is the tangential speed?
(b) What is the centripetal acceleration?
(c) What is the centripetal force exerted on the car? mg

Fs
Given: T = 20 s
r = 48.2 m
m = 800 kg
(b) ac= v2
r= (15.1 m/s)2
48.2 m
(c) Fc = mac = (800 kg)(4.7 m/s2) = 3760 N
= 4.7 m/s2
(a) vT = 2r/T = 2 (48.2m) / 20 = 15.1 m/s
