When an object is moving in a circular path its velocity is always at right angles to the radius
Centripetal Force pulls the object in a circular path
Therefore F is always at right angles to V
Two objects at different distances from the centre that have the same Angular Velocity will complete the same number of revolutions in a given time, but have different speeds
Angular Velocity = ω = 2π/t
v = ω*r
Time period = T = 2π/ω
f = 1/T = ω/2π
The acceleration of an object moving in a circle is called Centripetal Acceleration
a = v^2/r
a = ω^2 * r
