An object moving in circular motion is inherently accelerating (centripetal
acceleration). It must therefore have a net force continually acting on it. We call
this net.

Notes over Circular Motion What is circular motion? The motion of things that are traveling in a circle. Notice that this is similar to projectile motion but instead of a semi-circle, we are now working with full circles. When objects travel in a circle there is always an axis that they travel about (around). Axis: A straight line around which circular motion takes place There are 2 types of circular motion Rotation and Revolution. •
Rotation: When an object turns about an “internal” axis (an axis located within the body of the object), also called spin Examples: Figure skater doing spins, a football spiraling, the earth on it’s axis, the platform of a carousel
•
Revolution: when an object turns around an “external” axis (an axis not necessarily connected to the body) Examples: the earth around the sun, the horses on the carousel,
Clearly, when objects are moving, they have a speed. There are two ways that we can measure the speed of an object in circular motion. •
Rotational Speed (Angular Speed): number of rotations per unit of time It is expressed in revolutions per minute RPM
•
Tangential Speed: is directly proportional to rotational speed and the distance from the axis (kinda like “regular” speed)
What causes something to move or accelerate? A force The force that causes circular motion is called a centripetal force. Centripetal Force: any force that causes a body to move in a circular path or in part of a circular path, such as rounding a corner •
The only force exerted on an object moving in a circular path is directed toward the center of circular motion
There is another term you may have heard called Centrifugal Force. •
Centrifugal Force: name given to a outward-acting force, and it is useful only in a rotating system
•
It is different from a real force in that there is no interaction (pair of forces), there is no mass out there pulling on it
•
There is no reaction counterpart to the centrifugal force that is felt, therefore it is not a real force
•
Fc (Centripetal Force)
•
ac (centripetal acceleration)
•
What do you think these mean?
•
Basically that the object is moving with circular motion but still accelerating and still has a force keeping it moving.
•
New formulas for your Formula Sheet Quantity Unit Formula Centripetal Force N Fc = mac 2 Centripetal Acceleration m/s ac= v2/r r is the radius of the circle
•
Example: A 0.25 kg mass is attached to a 1.00 m length of string. The mass is moving in a horizontal circle at a speed of 15.0 m/s. What is the centripetal force acting on the mass? How much acceleration does the object have?
