About Uniform Circular Motion

Uniform circular motion describes the motion of an object traveling at constant speed along a circular path. While the speed is constant, the direction of the velocity vector changes continuously, resulting in centripetal acceleration directed toward the center of the circle.

Key concepts:

• Constant speed but changing velocity (due to direction change)
• Centripetal force required to maintain the circular path
• Period (T): Time for one complete revolution
• Frequency (f): Number of revolutions per unit time
• Angular velocity (ω): Rate of change of angular displacement
