  1. Chapter 5:Using Newton’s Laws: Friction, Circular Motion, Drag Forces

  2. 5-2 Uniform Circular Motion—Kinematics Looking at the change in velocity in the limit that the time interval becomes infinitesimally small, we see that Velocity can be constant in magnitude, and we still have acceleration because the direction changes. Direction: towards the center of the circle

  3. Newton’s second law • Whenever we have circular motion, we have acceleration directed towards the center of the motion. • Whenever we have circular motion, there must be a force towards the center of the circle causing the circular motion.

  4. 5-2 Uniform Circular Motion—Kinematics This acceleration is called the centripetal, or radial, acceleration, and it points toward the center of the circle.

  5. Uniform Circular Motion—Kinematics Example 5-10: Ultracentrifuge. The rotor of an ultracentrifuge rotates at 50,000 rpm (revolutions per minute). A particle at the top of a test tube is 6.00 cm from the rotation axis. Calculate its centripetal acceleration, in “g’s.”

  6. Problem 57 57.(III) The position of a particle moving in the xy plane is given by where r is in meters and t is in seconds. (a) Show that this represents circular motion of radius 2.0 m centered at the origin. (b) Determine the velocity and acceleration vectors as functions of time. (c) Determine the speed and magnitude of the acceleration. (d) Show that a= v2/r (e) Show that the acceleration vector always points toward the center of the circle.

  7. 5-2 Uniform Circular Motion—Kinematics Example 5-8: Acceleration of a revolving ball. A 150-g ball at the end of a string is revolving uniformly in a horizontal circle of radius 0.600 m. The ball makes 2.00 revolutions in a second. What is its centripetal acceleration?

  8. Dynamics of Uniform Circular Motion There is no centrifugal force pointing outward; what happens is that the natural tendency of the object to move in a straight line must be overcome. If the centripetal force vanishes, the object flies off at a tangent to the circle.

  9. Question A ball swings from a rope as shown below. What is the direction of its radial acceleration? (A) (B) (C) (D) (A) (D) (B) (C)
