∆v = vf - vi ‚ and since velocity is changing‚ circular motion must also be accelerated motion. vi ∆v vf -vi vf2 If the ∆t in-between initial velocity and final velocity is small‚ the direction of ∆v is nearly radial (i.e. directed along the radius). As ∆t approaches 0‚ ∆v becomes exactly radial‚ or centripetal. ∆v = vf - vi vi vf vf ∆v -vi Note that as ∆v becomes more centripetal‚ it also becomes more perpendicular with vf . Also note that the acceleration of

Term 3 Uniform Circular Motion When a body moves in a circular path with a constant speed‚ it is said to undergo uniform circular motion. Although the speed is constant‚ velocity is continually changing‚ since it is constantly changing its direction of motion. Centripetal V V ac ac Acceleration is directed towards the centre of the circle and is therefore called “centripetal acceleration.” ac =v^2r ac =v^2r If T is the time taken for one revolution then: V = 2πrT ac =v^2r
