What to Focus On

  • Circular motion is motion in a plane.
  • Uniform circular motion has constant speed but changing velocity.
  • Non-uniform circular motion has changing speed.

  • Δθ = ΔS/r
  • Unit of angular displacement is radian.
  • 360° = 2π radian.

  • ω = dθ/dt
  • ω̄ = 2π/T
  • ω̄ = 2πn

Common Mistakes to Avoid

In uniform circular motion, velocity remains constant because speed is constant.

Acceleration in uniform circular motion acts along the tangent because the particle moves along the tangent.

Centripetal force is a new force of nature that always acts outward or inward by itself.
