marble are shown below. Notice that the size of the vector remains the same but the direction is constantly changing. Because the direction is changing‚ there is a ∆v and ∆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

Controlled variables: 1. The lighting was kept constant during the complete test. No additional light sources were added throughout the experiment‚ nor were any light sources removed throughout the experiment. This minimized the errors involved with trying to read and record the indicated measurements on the ticker tape‚ as well as the ability to analyze the experiment. 2. The same person measured and recorded the height and length of the incline plane and level horizontal track to ensure consistency

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

Circular Motion and Gravitation Circular motion is everywhere‚ from atoms to galaxies‚ from flagella to Ferris wheels. Two terms are frequently used to describe such motion. In general‚ we say that an object rotates when the axis of rotation lies within the body‚ and that it revolves when the axis is outside it. Thus‚ the Earth rotates on its axis and revolves about the Sun. When a body rotates on its axis‚ all the particles of the body revolve – that is‚ they move in circular paths about

II Uniform Circular Motion A. Nomenclature 1. Speed – magnitude of an objects rate of motion (no direction‚ scalar quantity) 2. Velocity – speed and direction of an objects motion (vector‚ mag & direction) 3. If a car’s speed is constant but direction is changing‚ velocity is changing. 4. 2 ways to change velocity (change speed or change direction). 5. acceleration – change in speed over time (vector quantity) TWO types; a. Linear acceleration – speed

Physics 1 Lab - Section 001 CP1 Lab Report - Projectile Motion October 12‚ 2009 The purpose of Lab Assignment 1 was to analyze projectile motion. In doing so‚ we determined the initial velocity of the ball shot horizontally from the spring loaded projectile launcher. Also‚ we verified the angle at which the projection of the ball would produce a maximum range. Lastly‚ we predicted the range that a ball would travel at a certain angle‚ theta. Projectile motion is the motion of objects

2.6.1 Draw a vector diagram to show that the acceleration of a particle moving with uniform speed in a circle is directed toward the centre of the circle. Review of basic kinematics: If the acceleration and velocity of an object are parallel (or anti-parallel) then the object’s speed will increase (decrease). If the acceleration and velocity of an object are perpendicular then only the direction of the velocity will change and the speed (i.e. the magnitude of the velocity) will remain constant.
