State four examples where centripetal force is experienced by the body .

Examples where centripetal force is experienced by the body. I) A stone tied at the end of a string is revolved in a horizontal circle, the tension in the string provides the necessary centripetal force. It is given by equation […]

What is the difference between uniform circular motion and non uniform circular motion? Give examples.

Sr. No U.C.M Non-U.C.M 1. Circular motion with constant angular speed is known as uniform circular motion Circular motion with variable angular speed is called as non-uniform circular motion 2. For U.C.M, α = 0 For non-U.C.M, α≠ 0 3. In U.C.M, work […]

U.C.M is an accelerated motion. Justify this statement.

Definition:                     In U.C.M, the magnitude of linear velocity (speed) remains constant but the direction of linear velocity goes on changing i.e., linear velocity changes.             The […]

Define periodic motion. Why U.C.M is called periodic motion?

Definition: A type of motion which is repeated after equal interval of time is called periodic motion. The particle performing U.C.M repeats its motion after equal intervals of time on the same path. Hence, U.C.M is called periodic motion.    […]
