circular motion definitions
Tangential Speed: The linear speed tangent to a curved path such as in circular motion m/s
Rotational speed: the number of revolutions per unit of time ( measured in rpm )
Torque: the product of force and lever arm distance, which tends to produce rotation
Center of mass: The average position of the mass of an object causing the object to move as if all external forces originated from this point
Center of gravity: the average position of weight of an object where the force of gravity can be considered to act
Equilibrium: The state of an object in which NO NET FORCE is acting
Centripetal Force: F= mv2/r A force directed towards a fixed point usually the cause of circular motion
Centrifugal force: An outward force apparent in a rotating frame of reference. It is a fictitious force in that it is simply related to rotation and is a manifestation of Inertia
Angular Momentum: The product of a body’s rotational inertia and rotational velocity about a particular axis. For an object that is small compared to the radial distance, it can be expressed as the product of mass, speed and the radial distance of rotation.
Conservation of angular momentum: Angular momentum before an event involving only internal torques, or no torques, is equal to the angular momentum after the event.
