  1. Chapter 9: Circular Motion

  2. Axis • An axis is the straight line around which rotation takes place

  3. Rotation • When an object turns about an internal axis. • An axis located within the body of the object • The motion is also called spin. • Earth Rotates about its axis once every 24 hours.

  4. Revolution • When an object turns about an external axis. • Earth Revolves around the sun once every 365¼ days.

  5. Linear Speed • What we simply called speed in Chapter 2. • A distance moved per unit time. • Linear speed varies based on radius of a circle. • On the Merry-Go-Round, the horses on the outermost ring have to travel faster to keep up with the horses that are closer to the center axis.

  6. Tangential Speed • The speed of something moving along a circular path. • We call it tangential motion because the speed is always tangent to the circle. • We can use tangential speed and linear speed as the same thing for circular motion.

  7. Rotational Speed • The number of rotations per unit of time. Symbol (ω-omega) • Sometimes called angular speed. • All parts of the merry-go-round rotate about their axis in the same amount of time. • Units for Rotational Speed = Rev. / second or Rev. / min. • The record player rotates with a rotational speed of 72,000RPM. • Tangential Speed = Radial dist x Rotational Speed v= r ω

  8. Centripetal Force • Any force that causes an object to follow a circular path. • Centripetal means “center seeking” or “toward the center.” • The force that holds the occupants in a rotating ride.

  9. Centrifugal Force • The Physics curse word!!! • Very commonly misused. • Means “center-fleeing” or “away from the center.” • Misconception that centrifugal force pulls you outward during circular motion. • Actual force is just the inertia of the body traveling tangent to the circle.

  10. As a ball is whirled above the head, it is the inertia of the ball that wants to continue moving in a straight line. Instead, the ball is forced inward to change its direction (Centripetal Force-supplied by string).

  11. Simulated Gravity • When a wheel or apparatus is spun at just the right speed so that the acceleration feels like the gravity they are accustomed to.

  12. Equations to Note: • ac= v2/r • Fc = (mv2)/r • Vrotational = r ω = (2π r)/t
