Uniform Circular Motion AP Flashcards

Terms : Hide Images

12946915966	uniform circular motion	Objects moving in a circle with constant speed ; centripetal acceleration results from a change of direction; but there is no change in speed	0
12981443768	angular acceleration	the change in angular velocity divided by the time needed to make the change; α=a/r	1
12981424419	angular velocity	rate of change of angular displacement with respect to time;ω = v/r	2
12981434620	angular displacement	the change in the angle as an object rotates	3
12946915967	tangent	A line in the plane of a circle that intersects the circle in exactly one point.	4
12946915968	tangential velocity	is the linear speed of something moving along a circular path	5
12946915969	centripetal force	a force that acts on a body moving in a circular path and is directed toward the center around which the body is moving.	6
12978006302	centrifugal force	an apparent BUT FAKE force that acts outward on a body moving around a center, arising from the body's inertia.	7
12946915972	centripetal acceleration	acceleration toward the center of a curved or circular path	8
12946915973	formula for centripetal acceleration		9
12946915974	tension	A pulling force	10
12946915976	free body diagram	a diagram showing all the forces acting on an object	11
12946915978	weight	A measure of the force of gravity on an object	12
12946915979	periodic motion	any motion that repeats at regular time intervals	13
12946915985	Period (T)	the time of one rotation, measured in seconds	14
12946915986	frequency	the rate at which something occurs or is repeated over a particular period of time or in a given sample; measured in Hertz, which is how many times per second something occurs	15
12947839053	linear velocity	v=rω	16
12947847857	instantaneous velocity	the speed and direction of an object at a particular instant	17
12978103255	Coriolis effect	The fictitious force causing the apparent deflection of moving objects when viewed in a rotating frame of reference. Causes moving air and water to turn left in the southern hemisphere and turn right in the northern hemisphere due to Earth's hemisphere.	18
12978151125	Radians	the SI unit of measurement of the size of an angle. A complete circle is 2π radians. π radians = 180 degrees	19

12981569919	Foucault Pendulum	a freely swinging pendulum whose path appears to change in a predictable way, thus providing evidence for Earth's rotation	22
15841820071	tangential velocity	is the linear speed of something moving along a circular path. It's yet another synomyn	23
