A particle is moving along a circular path with a uniform speed. Through what angle does its angular velocity change when it completes half of the circular path?

Important Questions on Circular Motion


A vehicle is moving with a velocity on a curved road of width and radius of curvature . For counteracting the centrifugal force on the vehicle, the difference in elevation required in between the outer and inner edges of the rod is




A man revolves a stone of mass tied to the end of a string in a vertical circle of radius . The net forces at the lowest and highest points of the circle directed vertical downwards are: [Here (and ) denote the tension in the string (and the speed of the stone) at the lowest and highest points, respectively.]

A small ring is threaded on a smooth wire bent in the form of a circle of radius and center . The wire is rotating with constant angular speed about a vertical diameter , while the ring remains at rest relative to the wire at a distance from . Then is equal to
