Notes on uniform circular motion and non uniform circular motion |
|
Answer» circular motion...when a body MOVES in circular path with constant speed is known as uniform circular motion there are two types of accelerations in circular motion1.centripetal acceleration 2.TANGENTIAL acceleration Centripetal acceleration is responsible for change in direction of velocity while tangential acceleration is responsible for change in magnitude of velocity so in case of uniform circular motion there isn't change in magnitude of velocity but the direction of velocity changes at each point as the body is MOVING in circular path Non-uniform circular motion...When a body moves in circular path but its direction as well as magnitude of velocity changes at each point in case of non uniform circular motion both types of accelerations will produce the centripetal acceleration is always directed TOWARDS the center of the circle HOPE it will help |
