Term

θ 

[image]

Definition
θ (radians) = l/r (l = arc length)
Term
ω (angular velocity) (3)
Definition

= Δθ/Δt

found using right hand rule 

= 2∏rf or 2∏r/T

Term

α (angular acceleration)

atan (tangential acceleration)

aR (centripetal acceleration)

[image]

Definition

α = Δω/Δt 

atan = rα

aR = ω2r = v2/r

Term

Definition
v=rω
Term
frequency (3)
Definition

f = ω/2Π

measured in hertz (Hz) 1 Hz = 1 s-1

cycles completed or revolutions per second 

 

Term

Period T (2)

Period of simple pendulum

Period of spring

Orbital Period

Definition

time one revolution takes, time required to complete one cycle

T = 1/f

 

T = 2∏√(l/g) (l=lenth of string)

 

T = 2∏√(m/k)

 

T = 2∏√(r3/Gm)
