Uniform Circular Motion - IB Physics

Objects moving at a constant speed around a circle are said to be in uniform circular motion. There are specific properties that cause an object to be in uniform circular motion that we can define and measure: centripetal force, centripetal acceleration, and tangential velocity. I also give other definitions in this video that can help calculate missing information. Many objects exhibit circular motion (in space, essentially all objects do) and the topic can be very intuitive if you can understand it in terms of geometry.

You explain it so well (much better than my teacher). I am pretty sure all your student get a level 7.

  • @AndyMasley

    @AndyMasley

    Жыл бұрын

    My advice for the IA: 1: A good IA is often a middle school-level experiment with high school-level analysis. You don't need to do something crazy, just a simple experiment with a clear independent and dependent variable and a pattern that's either linear or that you can linearize. 2: It's often helpful to look through the IB physics equations and find one that has two variables that you can test. As a very simple example, you could look at F = ma and measure how the acceleration changes when the same force is applied to different masses and rearrange the equation to be a = F(1/m) where a is the dependent and m is the independent variable. Working backwards like this from an equation to an experiment can make it easier to find something you can linearize and analyze in the data analysis section.

    @@AndyMasley Thank you so much for your helpful suggestion. I have another quick question, who will mark our IA? I have heard two statement where one says that the teacher marks your IA and one or two IA of your class will be sent to IB to be reviewed and they will decide to increase/decrease the mark of the IA marked by your teacher. And another one states that the teacher only gives you the predicted mark, the IB will review and gives you the final mark. The reason I asked it is because our teacher clearly tells us if we choose a SL topic, is it at most about level 5 and he always suggest us to choose hl topic ot outside the syllabus of IB, so I am concerned if he will be the person to give us the final mark for IA. Thank you very much!

    Hi Andy! Your level of teaching is superb! I, in all honesty, learn the most from YOU! One thing, though: I believe the answer to a_c (time stamp: 13:48), is supposed to be 5.94E-1 m/s^2, or 0.594 m/s^2, assuming all previous answers to be correct, would it not? I calculated it twice, once on my calculator, and once again on Desmos, and both gave me the answer of 0.593609625668. Would you wanna quickly double check? Other than that super minor thing, I cannot thank you enough for posting these lessons for all of us to learn from. You are single-handedly getting us through our physics classes. Best, Rina

But technically, in the given variables, you already have r and T, so would it not be easier if you just substitute everything inside (4 x π^2 x r)/T^2? That is what I did, however I ended up having a = 4.626 instead. Could you help me verify what went wrong? Because essentially they should be giving the same answer.

    You're correct that those formulas are equivalent to each other. Ultimately physics has many formulas that can be rewritten based on convenience. F = ma could also be F = m(Vf -Vi/t) if the variables called for it. Our answers are so close that it's possible that I just rounded incorrectly!

    I have a very simple but question. Why doesnt the object collapse into the point. Since the centripetal force is an acceleration is increasing with time it should get to a point where its high enough to pull the object towards its centre. For example: The electron in an atom if not for its stationary state it should be pulled towards the nucleus since the proton and nucleus attract but what keeps it moving in a circular path is the fact that they have fixed energy called stationary States so they can't lose energy. But objects in the real world dont have fixed energy level so what keeps them in circular path? Another example is that if we change the mechanics occurring on the body interms of force, The centripetal force will be the F=m×a but converting the objects tangential velocity into force its F=0 since it has no acceleration.Resolving the 2 forces the object is supposed to move towards the center so why does it still move circular

    Correct! It's actually an almost-perfect circle, the ellipse is usually exaggerated in diagrams, but it's technically not uniform circular motion. I find it has enough of the same properties as uniform circular motion (centripetal force and tangential velocity) that it's a useful example to explain UCM, but it's technically not perfectly uniform.

    I need help :( so I have a problem " a 2.0 kg object is attached to a 1.5m long string and swung in a horizontal circle at a constant speed using a centripetal force of 192N. What is the speed of the object?" I'm very confused I looked up vids but can't find one for my scenario:(
