Physics Unit 4 - Circular motion

?
How do you convert degrees to radians?
pi/180
1 of 6
What is angular displacement?
The vector measurement of the angle through which something has turned
2 of 6
What is angular velocity?
The rate at which the angular displacement changes
3 of 6
Why does a body moving at constant speed in a circular path need a resultant force acting on it?
Constant speed, velocity is continually changing direction, a change in velocity is an acceleration. There must be a force causing the acceleration, this force acts towards the centre
4 of 6
What factors would require a larger force?
Higher mass, Higher velocity, Smaller radius
5 of 6
If there was no resultant force on a body, what direction would the body travel?
The body would travel in a straight line along the tangent at the point it was released
