Concetti Chiave
- Circular motion is exemplified by satellites revolving around the Earth, with uniform circular motion involving constant velocity along a circular path.
- The period (T) is the time required for a particle to complete one full revolution along a circumference, measured in seconds.
- Frequency refers to the number of complete revolutions a particle makes in a set time, expressed in Hertz (Hz).
- Angular velocity relates the angular distance traveled to the time taken, with the angle formed by the radius pointing to the center.
- In uniform circular motion, angular velocity remains constant, depending on the angle rather than the arc length.
-Frequency: the number of revolutions a particle completes in a given time. Is measured in Hertz (Hz).
The angle "theta" is directly proportional to the arc travelled of the particle. Therefore the velocity of the particle depends on the angle of the radius instead of the arc lenght. In uniform circular motion angular velocity is constant.
