SHM and Cirular Motion Flashcards
(4 cards)
1
Q
Angular Speed
A
Angle turned per unit time
2
Q
Centripetal Force
A
Net force that an object moving in a circle experiences
Always acts towards centre of the circle
3
Q
Describe how speed velocity and acceleration vary for an object undergoing circular motion
A
Speed : constant
Velocity : magnitude is constant direction changes continually
Acceleration: magnitude is constant direction changes continually (always acting towards centre of circle)
4
Q
Conditions for SHM to occur
A
acceleration is DP to objects displacement from equilibrium position and in the direction if equilibrium position
