UCM - Derive speed, of a body moving, radius r, and the frequency f.

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on deriving the relationship between the speed (v) of a body moving in a circle of radius (r) and the frequency (f) of its revolutions. The initial equations provided are v = 2πr/T and T = 1/F, leading to the conclusion that v can be expressed as v = 2πr/F. Participants confirm the correctness of this derivation and explore the possibility of expanding the steps further. Additionally, centripetal acceleration is discussed, with an alternative expression involving frequency, reinforcing the relationship between speed, radius, and frequency. The derivation effectively connects these concepts in circular motion.

Homework Statement


Derive a relationship between the speed v, of a body moving in a circle of radius r, and the frequency f, of the revolutions.

Homework Equations


v=2πr/T
T=1/F

The Attempt at a Solution



Well, I thought this would be as simple as solving for F in the second equations and substituting into the original formula.
Eg:

v=2πr/T
T=1/F
F=1/T

v=2πr/1/F

v=2πr/F

Is the above correct? Could I expand it into more steps, like how one would derive F = 1/T, I already know how to derive v=2πr/T.

Thanks!

Does not the T = 1/f follow from the way they are defined?

Centripetal acceleration is given alternately by mv2/R or 4∏2R/T2 which means 4∏2Rf2
by equating the first and last form I think the answer falls out.
 
Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .
TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...
