Page 0   This text is meant to accompany class discussions. It is not everything there is to know about uniform circular motion. It is meant as a  prep for class. More detailed notes and examples are given in the class notes, presentations, and demonstrations. See the links below. Table of Contents Page 1 Introduction, direction, magnitude, period and frequency Page 2 Magnitude of velocity, acceleration, and force Page 3 Deriving the velocity formula Page 4 The formulas Page 5 2 Example problems Page 6 Example that uses ratios to solve Click for the questions that go with this reading Objectives Students will be able to: Define the period of motion Define the frequency for motion Mathematically relate the period and frequency Convert from RPM’s (revolutions per second) to Hertz Use the definitions of period and frequency to solve word problems Discuss the relationship between centrifugal and centripetal forces. Identify the directions of the vectors. Describe why a person slides to the outside of a curve in a car as observed from inside the car. Discuss what supplies the centripetal forces Correctly write the units equations from memory List the S. I. units associates with each quantity Solve word problems utilizing the formulae and concepts in the unit. Calculate the g’s felt by a rider in an amusement park when He/she is spun in a horizontal circle (e.g. carousel) He/she is spun in a vertical circle (e.g. roller coaster loops, playground swings.) Describe why an irregular shaped roller coaster loop is better than a circular loop. Solve problems based on an automobiles ability to supply a lateral acceleration and “cornering.” Solve problems utilizing formulae and ratio. Objectives Worksheet Collection Some Notes   Frequency Relationships Introduction and two example word problems Solving problems by ratios Formulae you need to memorize Selected Worksheet Solutions Selected Worksheet Solutions to ratio style problems 63 to71 from the workbook Circular motion computer activity ON LINE PRE-TEST #1 ON LINE PRE-TEST #2 Mastery Assignment Teachers, I created and use these animations in class in PowerPoint slide. They drag them in like a picture. They play like movies. Some I reference and use via a web browser.
