Circular

Cards (14)

  • Angular speed measured in
    radians per second
  • Linear speed
    Angular speed x radius
  • Acceleration towards centre
    Angular speed ^ 2 x radius and linear speed ^ 2 / radius
  • Time period (T)
    2pi / angular velocity
  • Force
    mass x angular speed ^ 2 x radius
  • Force (rearranged)
    Mass x linear speed ^ 2 / radius
  • v = w * r
  • T = 2pi / w
  • (linear)
    a = v^2 / r
  • (angular)
    a = w^2 * r
  • (angular):
    f = m * w^2 * r
  • (linear):
    f = m * v^2 / r
  • What is v?

    Linear velocity
  • What is w?
    Angular velocity
