1. A ball moves with a constant speed of 4 m/s around a circle of radius 0.25 m. What is the period of the motion?
2. A racecar is traveling at constant speed around a circular track. What happens to the centripetal acceleration of the car if the speed is doubled?
3. A car traveling at 20 m/s rounds to a curve so that its centripetal acceleration is 5 m/s2. What is the radius of the curve?

The world's largest Ferris wheel with a radius of 50.0 m is located in Yokohama city, Japan. Each of the sixty gondolas on the wheel takes 1.00 minute to complete one revolution when it is running at full speed.
4. what is the uniform speed of a gondola when the Ferris wheel is running at full speed?
5. What is the centripetal acceleration of the gondola when the Ferris wheel is running at a full speed?

6. A 0.25-kg ball attached to a string is rotating in a horizontal circle of radius 0.5 m. If the ball revolves twice every second, what is the tension in the string?

7. A certain string just breaks when it is under 400 N of tension. A boy uses this string to whirl a 10-kg stone in a horizontal circle of radius 10m. The boy continuously increases the speed of the stone. At approximately what speed will the string break?

8. In an amusement park ride, a small child stands against the wall of a cylindrical room that is then made to rotate. The floor drops downward and the child remains pinned against the wall. If the radius of the device is 2.15 m and the relevant coefficient of friction between the child and the wall is 0.400, with what minimum speed is the child moving if he is to remain pinned against the wall?

  • Velocity of Circular Motion

    In physics, circular motion is rotation with constant speed around in a circle: a circular path or a circular orbit. It is one of the simplest cases of accelerated motion.

  • acceleration and velocity of the circular motion

    126732 Circular Motion In uniform circular motion, the acceleration is perpendicular to the velocity at every instant. Is this true when the motion is not uniform, that is, when the speed is not constant?

  • Magnitude of force that maintains a car's circular motion; tangential speed

    The magnitude of forces that maintain a car's circular motion is given.

  • Detailed Explanation to Circular motion

    The net force acting on an object in circular motion is always perpendicular to the direction of motion and in the direct of the center of rotation (definition).

  • Centripetal Acceleration

    The direction of motion of this body at any instant at a point on the circular path is along the tangent drawn at that point.

  • Motion on a vertical circle.
