Special Notes q The mathematical treatment for circular motion kinematics in
the next three slides represents some extra readings beyond the textbook contents. It is meant to help you to have a better understanding of kinematical formulas for the circular motion.
q In my judgment, the book treatment is over simplified and possibly less convincing to those who want a deeper understanding.
q In any case, derivation for those formulas is not required for
this course. Please pay more attention to the final results that I will summarize in one slide later.

Uniform Circular Motion q Uniform circular motion is circular motion with constant
angular velocity (ω) .
q Trivial quiz: for a uniform circular motion with ω, how long does it take to complete a full circle?
( 2π/ω)
q For uniform circular motion, period (T) is defined as the time the moving object takes in one full circle.
T = 2π/ω = 2πr/ v q Note: A related quantity: frequency f is defined as f = 1/T

Quick Quizzes: Uniform Circular Motion q As shown a particle in uniform circular motion has a period T
and a radius R. (assume it runs in counter-clockwise.) Ø What is the magnitude of its instantaneous velocity when it passes point A? 2πR/T, 2R/T, zero, other Ø What is the magnitude of its average velocity in a time interval when it completes a full circle? 2πR/T, 2R/T, zero, other Ø What is the magnitude of its average speed in a time interval when it completes a full circle? 2πR/T, 2R/T, zero, other
Ø After class exercises: Answer the same questions for time interval from point A to point B.
Acceleration in Uniform Circular Motion q recall:
q For uniform circular motion, r and ω are both constants.

Summary of Kinematics for Uniform Circular Motion
q Instantaneous velocity is always in tangential direction
(The above is true even for non-uniform circular motion)
q Angular velocity ω is a constant: ω = 2π/T = 2πf
q Instantaneous acceleration is always centripetal
q For circular motions, v and a are never constant ! q Note: vave ≠ rω, and aave ≠ rω2 !
v = r ω θ̂, i.e. v=rω
a = rω 2 (−r̂) , i.e. ac = rω2 =

Exercise: Spin of the Earth q The radius of earth is 6.37x106 m. To a good approximation, the spin of
the earth is uniform with a period T. Quick Quiz: How long is T? Answer: T= 24 hr = 24x3600 = 86400 s !
Consider a person standing on the Equator: § What is angular speed of the person? ( ω = 2π /T = 7.27x10-5 rad/s ) § What is the linear speed of that person? ( v =rω = 463.1 m/s )
§ How much is his acceleration ? ( ac = rω2 = 0.034 m/s2 )

Non-Uniform Circular Motion q In a generic (non-uniform) circular motion, acceleration usually
has both centripetal and tangential components
è Total acceleration:
a = ac + at
Conceptual understanding only for this course
After Class Quiz q We have just learnt that for a particle in uniform circular
motion, the direction of its acceleration is always centripetal. However, for a generic circular motion, the acceleration can have a centripetal and a tangential component.
Ø what can we say about the velocity in circular motion?
A: For uniform circular motion, the velocity is always perpendicular to radial vector r. (i.e. tangential). But for a generic circular motion, the velocity can have both tangential and centripetal components. B: For any circular motion, the velocity is always tangential.
Relative Motion q All motions are measured in a reference frame. Same motion can be
measured to be differently in different reference frame. § e.g. A passenger sits in a moving bus.
• w.r.t bus, the passenger is stationary (v=0) • w.r.t Earth, the passenger is moving at vbus
q Conversion between reference frames
vobj _wrt _FrameB =vobj _wrt _FrameA +
vFrameA_wrt _FrameB
Relative Motion in 1-D q On a straight road, a bus is moving forward at a speed of 10 m/s
(i.e. vbus_Earth = +10 m/s). in the meanwhile, a man is walking inside the bus.
Quiz 1: If the man is walking forward at 1 m/s w.r.t the bus (i.e. vman_bus = +1.0 m/s), what is the man’s velocity w.r.t. the Earth? Answer: vman_Earth = 11 m/s = 10 + 1 = vman_bus + vbus_Earth
Quiz 2: If the man is walking backward at 1 m/s instead (i.e. vman_bus = -1.0 m/s), what is the man’s velocity w.r.t. the Earth? Answer: vman_Earth = 9 m/s = 10 + (-1 )= vman_bus + vbus_Earth
vobj _wrt _FrameB = vobj _wrt _FrameA + vFrameA_wrt _FrameB
vman_wrt _Earth = vman_wrt _Bus + vBus_wrt _Earth

Exercise: Airplane in Wind q A jet airliner moving at 590 mph due east moves into a region where
the wind is blowing at 140 mph in a direction 60° north of east. What is the speed and direction of the aircraft (w.r.t. Earth)?
q Solution: ( i = east, j = north, J=jet, E=Earth, W= wind) use (vector) relationship vJE = vJW +vWE vJE = (590+70)i + 121.24j= 660i + 121.24j |vJE | = 671mph =sqrt(6602 +121.212), at 10.41o NofE =atan(121.21/660)
vJW = 590 i,
vWE = 140xcos(60o)i + 140xsin(60o)j = 70i + 121.24j vJE = vJW +vWE
