Circles

346
A circle in the coordinate plane is defined as the set of all points that lie at a constant distance, known as the radius, from a fixed point called the center. This relationship is captured using the distance formula. For a point (x, y) on the circle and a center (h, k), the distance between them equals the radius r. By squaring both sides of the distance formula, the equation of the circle is written in standard form:Constructing the Equation from Geometric InformationIf the center and the...

Dynamics of Circular Motion

26.2K
An object undergoing circular motion, like a race car, is accelerating because it is changing the direction of its velocity. This centrally directed acceleration is called centripetal acceleration. This acceleration acts along the radius of the curved path (thus is also referred to as radial acceleration).
Any acceleration must be produced by some force. Therefore, any force or combination of forces can cause centripetal acceleration. A few examples include the tension in the rope on a...

Dynamics Of Circular Motion: Applications

10.4K
Suppose a car moves on flat ground and turns to the left. The centripetal force causing the car to turn in a circular path is due to friction between the tires and the road. For this, a minimum coefficient of friction is needed, or the car will move in a larger-radius curve and leave the roadway. Let's now consider banked curves, where the slope of the road helps in negotiating the curve. The greater the angle of the curve, the faster one can take the curve. It is common for race tracks for...

Uniform Circular Motion01:14

Uniform Circular Motion

23.3K
Uniform circular motion is a specific type of motion in which an object travels in a circle with a constant speed. For example, any point on a propeller spinning at a constant rate is undergoing uniform circular motion. The second, minute, and hour hands of a watch also undergo uniform circular motion. It is hard to believe that points on these rotating objects are actually accelerating, even though the rotation rate is constant. To understand this, we must analyze the motion in terms of...

Non-uniform Circular Motion01:22

Non-uniform Circular Motion

10.2K
In uniform circular motion, the particle executing circular motion has a constant speed, and the circle is at a fixed radius. However, not all circular motion occurs at a constant speed. A particle can travel in a circle and speed up or slow down, showing an acceleration in the direction of motion. In that case, the motion is called non-uniform circular motion, and an additional acceleration is introduced, which is in the direction tangential to the circle. 
For example, such...
