ideasrule said:t isn't equal to 33.33*6 (check the units). If it spins 33 1/3 times a minute, the time it takes to spin once must be 1/33.33 min.
Uniform circular motion is a type of motion in which an object moves in a circular path at a constant speed. This means that the velocity of the object remains constant, but its direction is constantly changing.
An object moves in uniform circular motion due to the presence of a centripetal force, which is directed towards the center of the circular path. This force is necessary to keep the object moving in a circular path and prevent it from moving in a straight line tangent to the circle.
In uniform circular motion, the speed of the object remains constant, while in non-uniform circular motion, the speed of the object changes. This means that the object in non-uniform circular motion is accelerating, while the object in uniform circular motion is not.
In uniform circular motion, the velocity and acceleration vectors are always perpendicular to each other. This means that the direction of the object's velocity is constantly changing, but its magnitude remains constant, resulting in a constant speed.
Some examples of uniform circular motion include the motion of a Ferris wheel, a satellite orbiting the Earth, and a car moving around a curved track at a constant speed. Any circular motion with a constant speed can be considered as an example of uniform circular motion.
