, An object in circular motion is one that follows a circular path.




measuring the rate of circular motion



Method 1 :
of rotations per second
Frequency -

the number

Time Period -


the time taken for the object to complete one rotation.

in a straight line.




The resultant of the change in
velocity is always directed
to the centre of the circle. This means the acceleration is


always towards the centre - Centripetal acceleration
