Circular Motion β Numericals
Q1: A boy with a mass of 25 kg is rides his cycle in a circular path at a speed of 2.5 ms-1. If the radius of the circular path is 2.5 m, then calculate the centripetal acceleration of the boy.
Q2: A boy is riding a merry-go-round. If he completes 10 revolutions in 20 seconds. Calculate its angular velocity.
Q3: A car of mass 500 kg is moving on a circular path of radius 150 m. The car is moving at a constant speed of 50 ms-1. How much force is required to keep the car in circular motion?
Circular Motion
Circular Motion is defined as the movement of an object rotating along a circular path. Objects in a circular motion can be performing either uniform or non-uniform circular motion. Motion of a car on a bank road, the motion of a bike well of death, etc. are examples of circular motion.
In this article, we will learn about circular motion and some related concepts, such as examples, equations, applications, etc.
