CircularVelocityCalc

iPhone / Education

This app will let you calculate Circular Velocity and determine relationship with Time Period and Radius.Examples of circular motion are carousels or merry-go-rounds in parks, a car going around a roundabout, the moon orbiting around the Earth or the Earth revolving around the Sun.
In physics, the movement of an object along the circumference of a circle or rotation along its circular path is known as circular motion. The object may be moving in uniform motion and has a constant angular rate of rotation and speed or non-uniform motion with changing rate of rotation. Objects moving in circles possess a speed which is equal to the distance travelled per time of travel. Thus, the speed of the object in circular motion is called circular velocity of that object.
