Uniform Circular Motion lpscience（匀速圆周运动lpscience）.pdfVIP

Uniform Circular Motion • Definition – moving in a circle at a constant speed • Rotating – Moving around an axis located within the object itself (ie. spinning top) • Revolving – Moving around an axis located outside the object (ie. Earth around the sun) Uniform Circular Motion • Period (T) – the amount of time it takes for an object to make one revolution around the circle • Frequency (ƒ) – The amount of revolutions or cycle each second – Notice the relation between Period and frequency 1
