Uniform Circular Motion

Application of Newton's Laws Involving Friction

Nonuniform Circular Motion

Velocity-Dependent Force : Drag and Terminal Velocity

Friction

Static Friction (apply when 2 surfaces at rest with respect to each other) image

Kinetic friction (Sliding Friction)

image

Always opposes the motion

Motion in a circle - constant r & constant v

Instantaneous velocity = tangent to the circle

Centripetal acceleration - always points towards centre

Centripetal Force

Banked Curveimage

Unbanked curve image

Net force towards centre = friction force

image

Object moves in circle, varying the speed

Terminal velocity image

Drag force

Object moves through a fluid - experience drag force

small velocity : F ∝ v higher velocity : F ∝ v²

Formula used in circular motion

v = rw ,
T = 2πr/v ,
w = 2πf ,
a = rw²
