i. v = r
ii. T = 2/
iii. f = 1/T
iv. f = / 2 ( in rad s

#. *cceleration in circle
i. a = v

/r
ii. a = r

(v changes in direction but not in magnitude, so steady speed)
3. +entri,etal -orce F = mv

/r or F = mr

(F always acts towards the centre of the circle)
4. +onical ,endulum resol.e tension /ori0ontally ( = mv
