How to find the velocity of an object in a circular path?

Physics

Distance of an object in a circular path is equal to the circumference of the circular path, so the formula to find speed is -

 Speed = \frac{2 \pi r}{Time}
Speed is there because velocity keeps changing continuously, because of the change of direction.

First of all, let's just talk about the speed, and not get wound up
in the velocity. OK ?

If a fly is sitting on the rim of the wheel and the wheel is rotating, then for
each full revolution of the wheel, the fly travels the circumference of the
wheel, which is (2 π) x (radius of the wheel).

In 'N' revolutions, the fly travels (2 N π) x (the radius). and so on.

So if the wheel is going, let's say 71 revs per minute (RPM), a point
on the rim is moving at (2 π times 71) x (the radius) per minute.

Another way to say it:

Speed of a point on the circle = (2 π) x (rotation frequency) x (radius).

The 'rotation frequency' takes care of the unit of time, and the 'radius'
takes care of the unit of length, so the result is a speed.

You are in Paris, 60 m up in the Eiffel Tower. If you throw a euro downward at a velocity of 2.0 m/s, how long would it take the
kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

t = 3.29 seconds

Explanation:

It is given that,

Height of the Eiffel tower is 60 m

Initial speed of a euro, u = 2 m/s

It will move under the action of gravity in the downward direction. Firstly, we can find the final velocity as follows :

v^2-u^2=2ad\\\\v=\sqrt{u^2+2ad} \\\\v=\sqrt{(2)^2+2\times 9.81\times 60} \\\\v=34.36\ m/s

Let t is the time taken by the euro to hit the ground. It can be calculated as :

v=u+at\\\\t=\dfrac{v-u}{a}\\\\t=\dfrac{34.36-2}{9.81}\\\\t=3.29\ s

Hence, it will take 3.29 seconds to hit the ground.

Does a car speedometer measure speed, velocity, or both?explain
Crank

Answer:

Car speedometer only measures speed and doesn't give any information about direction. So yes to speed, no to velocity.

Answer:

The water releases energy which causes the water molecules to have less kinetic and potential energy, changing their configuration from liquid to solid.

Explanation:

The conversion of water to ice is a phase change from liquid to solid. There is no chemical action taking place in this process just the state of matter taking up a new form.

  • This phase change is called freezing.
  • In freezing, the liquid water loses energy to the surroundings.
  • By so doing, the water molecules have lesser energy
  • The then take up fixed position within the lattice.
  • This changes the state to solid with a well - ordered arrangement.
