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

Physics

Savatey [412]3 years ago

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.

A car of mass 998 kilograms moving in the positive y–axis at a speed of 20 meters/second collides on ice with another car of mas
goldfiish [28.3K]
    <span> Let’s determine the initial momentum of each car.
#1 = 998 * 20 = 19,960
#2 = 1200 * 17 = 20,400

This is this is total momentum in the x direction before the collision. B is the correct answer. Since momentum is conserved in both directions, this will be total momentum is the x direction after the collision. To prove that this is true, let’s determine the magnitude and direction of the total momentum after the collision.

Since the y axis and the x axis are perpendicular to each other, use the following equation to determine the magnitude of their final momentum.

Final = √(x^2 + y^2) = √(20,400^2 + 19,960^2) = √814,561,600

This is approximately 28,541. To determine the x component, we need to determine the angle of the final momentum. Use the following equation.

Tan θ = y/x = 19,960/20,400 = 499/510
θ = tan^-1 (499/510)

The angle is approximately 43.85˚ counter clockwise from the negative x axis. To determine the x component, multiply the final momentum by the cosine of the angle.

x = √814,561,600 * cos (tan^-1 (499/510) = 20,400</span>
