I have a question for you how to slove a task in physic
So this task is about Uniform Circular Motion
r=4 m
T=6 s
m=1.5 kg angle=50 degree

I have to find as a distance
x=? y=?

velocity acceleration force
V=? a=? F
Vx=? ax=? Fx
Vy=? ay=? Fy

I know the results but i need to know how that results come

No need for that language: it's only been an hour and a half.
I'm not going to give you the answers - just point you in a useful direction.

You clearly do not know what those equations mean.

Lets go back to the first post and go through the things you need to know:

r = radius: the distance of the object from the center of the circle
T = period: this is the time it takes the object to go right around the circle.
m = mass of the object

important concepts:
angular velocity: [tex]\omega = \frac{d\theta}{dt}[/tex] ... for uniform circular motion, this is a constant.

That the object goes all around the circle in time T means that it goes through an angle of 2\pi radiens in T seconds so that [tex]\omega = \frac{2\pi}{T}[/tex] radiens per second. At any time t, the angle is [tex]\theta(t)=\omega t[/tex]

Starting to get it?

If you put cartesian axis on your circular path, you can find the x-y coordinates by trigonometry.

You get the x and y velocities by differentiating the equations for x and y wrt time, and similarly for x and y accelerations.

The linear speed that the object goes around the circle though is a constant - it is just distance over time ... and you know that it goes the whole circumference of the circle in one time period.

What's important though is the centripetal acceleration which is [tex]a_c = \frac{v^2}{r}[/tex] The centripetal force is given by this times the mass. This is the force holding the object on to the circle.

You should be able to get the rest from there.

So anyway ... you feel better about circular motion now?
 

FAQ: Can You Solve This Uniform Circular Motion Task in Physics?

What is task-uniform circular motion?

Task-uniform circular motion is a type of motion where an object moves in a circular path at a constant speed. This means that the object covers equal distances in equal amounts of time, resulting in a constant velocity.

How is task-uniform circular motion different from regular circular motion?

Task-uniform circular motion is a specific type of circular motion where the object's speed remains constant. In regular circular motion, the object's speed can vary as it moves along the circular path.

What is the role of centripetal force in task-uniform circular motion?

Centripetal force is the force that keeps an object moving in a circular path. In task-uniform circular motion, the centripetal force acts towards the center of the circle and is responsible for constantly changing the direction of the object's velocity.

How is the velocity of an object related to its acceleration in task-uniform circular motion?

In task-uniform circular motion, the object's velocity and acceleration are always perpendicular to each other. This means that while the velocity remains constant, the acceleration constantly changes the direction of the velocity, keeping the object moving in a circular path.

What are some real-life examples of task-uniform circular motion?

Some common examples of task-uniform circular motion include the motion of planets around the sun, the motion of satellites in orbit around the Earth, and the motion of a car or bicycle around a curve.
