How do you find time in a circular motion?


Open in App
Solution

Explanation:

  1. The time taken for the object to complete one revolution around the circle is referred to as the time period and is commonly denoted by the symbol T.
  2. Thus, the average speed of an object in circular motion is given by the expression 2πRT.
  3. The circumference of a circle is equal to its distance from the center, calculated as 2πRT where R is its radius. The period, symbolized by the letter T, is the length of time required for one complete rotation of the circle. The formula given below shows the average speed of an object moving in a circular motion2πRT.
  4. The time period for circular motion is mathematically defined as T=2πRvwherevisvelocity.

Circular motion:

  1. Circular motion is defined as the motion of a body around a fixed point in a circle. In this case, uniform circular motion refers to a certain type of circular motion in which a body moves in a circle at a constant or uniform speed. The body has a fixed central position and, at every known location, is always at the same distance from it.
  2. The ball moves with a certain speed in a circle around its fixed center.
  3. The ball keeps on moving by continuously changing direction. Because of this, one may choose to continue with a circular course; However, the ball must constantly change its orientation.
