CIRCULAR
MOTION
Circular Motion - when an object moves in a
curved path

Uniform circular motion - is the type of motion of

objects along a curved path with constant speed.
Centripetal acceleration - is the
acceleration experienced while in
uniform circular motion. It always
points toward the center of rotation.
Non-uniform circular motion - which involves
changes in the objects speed.

Centripetal force - or the forcedirected

toward the center of the object’s rotation or
movement along a curved path
 =
We can get limit in which the time
In this example, the definition of interval (∆t) is very small through the
the centripetal acceleration is as
follows
equations

ac = lim = vinstantaneous
0

Combining the two equations by Which can be further simplified into

substituting for ∆v from the
previous equation, we get
ac =
ac =

circular motion
 Relative velocity

The relative velocity as the

velocity observed by an object
with respect to a frame of
reference.
 Relative velocity in one dimension
Example 1
Gigi is walking at a speed of 5 m per minute along the side of a train that is
moving at 100 m per minute. What is the velocity of Gigi as observed by a
person outside the train? What happens when Gigi moves with the same
magnitude of the velocity in the direction opposite to the direction of the
train’s motion?
The velocity of Gigi as observed by the person outside the train (v)
can be described as

v = vT + vP
= 100 m/min + 5 m/min
v = 105 m/min

Now, if Gigi is moving in the opposite direction, the sign changes

v = vT - vP
= 100 m/min - 5 m/min

v = 95 m/min
 Relative velocity in two or three dimensions

Example 2
Gigi, from the previous example, now moves towards her seat
in a perpendicular direction to the direction of the train’s
motion.
For the observer, Gigi’s velocity is
still the vector sum of the velocities. In the observer’s perspective---

v = vT + vP v = vPX + vPy
v = 0i - 5j
We can consider the horizontal v = -5 j
direction to represent the x-axis and
the vertical one to be the y-axis. In
the train’s perspective---

v = vTX + vTy
v = 100 i + 5j
v = 105 i
In three dimensions, we can consider the velocity of an object by
focusing on the components of the vector.
 Resultant velocity
1. A plane is travelling at velocity 100 km/hr, in the southward
direction. It encounters wind travelling in the west direction at a
rate of 25 km/hr. Calculate the resultant velocity of the plane.

Given:

the velocity of the wind = Vw = 25 km/hr

The velocity of the plane = Va= 100 km/hr

resultant velocity of the plane: ?

Solutions:

R2= (100 km/hr)2 + (25 km/hr)2

R2= 10 000 km2/hr2 + 625 km2/hr2
R2= 10 625 km2/hr2

R = 103.077 km/hr
 QUIZ #2:
1. highway at a velocity of 120 km/h passes a car travelling at a velocity of 90 km/h.
From the point of view of a passenger on the car, what is the velocity of the
motorcycle?

2. A swimmer swimming across a river flowing at a velocity of 4 m/s swims at the velocity of
2 m/s. Calculate the resultant velocity of the swimmer and the angle.

3. An aeroplane flies with a velocity of 450 m/s to the north, while an aeroplane B travels at
a velocity of 500 m/s to the south beside aeroplane A. Calculate the relative velocity of the
aeroplane A with respect to aeroplane B.
4. A motorcycle travelling on the highway at a velocity of 120
km/h passes a car travelling at a velocity of 90 km/h. From the
point of view of a passenger on the car, what is the velocity of
the motorcycle?
