Easily calculate key parameters of circular motion including centripetal force, tangential velocity, angular velocity, period, and centripetal acceleration. Essential for physics students and engineers understanding objects moving in a circular path.
Formula:
Centripetal Force (Fc): Fc = m × v2 / r
Centripetal Acceleration (ac): ac = v2 / r = ω2 × r
Tangential Velocity (v): v = ω × r = 2 π r / T
Angular Velocity (ω): ω = v / r = 2 π / T
Period (T): T = 2 π r / v = 2 π / ω
Frequency (f): f = 1 / T
Where:
m = mass (kg)
r = radius (m)
v = tangential velocity (m/s)
ω = angular velocity (rad/s)
T = period (s)
f = frequency (Hz)
Fc = centripetal force (N)
ac = centripetal acceleration (m/s2)
