Makes no sense to me. What textbook is this?DavidAlan said:
That's because you're mixing Latex and regular text. Try doing it all with Latex, like this: [tex]2 \pi r \omega[/tex]. Even better is to use 'inline' latex, using the 'itex' tag: [itex]2 \pi r \omega[/itex].
Uniform circular motion is a type of motion in which an object moves in a circular path at a constant speed. This means that the object covers equal distances in equal amounts of time, resulting in a constant speed along the circle.
Uniform circular motion is different from other types of motion because it involves both a change in direction and a constant speed. In other types of motion, the object may have a constant speed but its direction may change, or its speed may change while its direction remains constant.
An object undergoes uniform circular motion when it is acted upon by a centripetal force, which is a force directed towards the center of the circular path. This force is necessary to keep the object moving in a circular path at a constant speed.
Yes, an object in uniform circular motion can have a changing velocity. Although the speed remains constant, the velocity changes because it is a vector quantity that takes into account both the speed and direction of motion. As the direction of the object changes, so does its velocity.
Some examples of uniform circular motion include a car going around a roundabout, a planet orbiting around the sun, and a satellite orbiting around the Earth. Any object that moves in a circular path at a constant speed can be considered to be undergoing uniform circular motion.
