Yes. The problem statement doesn't indicate the units required for the answer. So, maybe you don't need to convert to degrees.opus said:
Ah, I hadn't noticed. Thanks.opus said:
Circular motion is the movement of an object along a circular path, where the distance from the center of the circle remains constant. This type of motion is characterized by a constant speed and a continuously changing direction.
Circular motion is caused by a centripetal force, which is a force that acts towards the center of the circle and keeps the object moving in a circular path. This force can be provided by various factors such as gravity, tension, or friction.
Uniform circular motion is when an object moves along a circular path at a constant speed, while non-uniform circular motion is when the speed of the object changes as it moves along the circular path. In non-uniform circular motion, the object experiences both a tangential acceleration and a centripetal acceleration.
Centripetal force is necessary for an object to maintain circular motion. It is always directed towards the center of the circle and its magnitude is equal to the product of the mass of the object, its speed squared, and the radius of the circular path.
Yes, circular motion can be described by Newton's laws of motion. The first law states that an object in motion will remain in motion in a straight line at a constant speed unless acted upon by an external force. The second law relates the net force acting on an object to its mass and acceleration. The third law states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. These laws can be applied to circular motion by considering the centripetal force as the external force acting on the object.
