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.

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.
 
I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...
Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'
In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'
Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
