Uniform Circular Motion is a key concept in physics involving constant speed motion along a circular path. This summary covers essential formulas, principles, and examples related to circular motion, angular velocity, centripetal force, and more.
Key points:
• Velocity vector constantly changes direction in circular motion
• Period (T) is time for one complete revolution
• Frequency (f) is number of revolutions per second
• Linear velocity (v) and angular velocity (ω) are related by v = ωr
• Centripetal acceleration and force are directed toward the center
