Uniform Circular Motion
The time to travel once round the circle, T, is
called the period of revolution or just period of
the motion.
The speed is constant. The circumference is 2pR.
The equation of motion is:
2p r vT

A physics book slides off a horizontal tabletop with a speed
of 1.10 m/s. It strikes the floor in 0.480 s. Ignore air
resistance. Find
(b) the horizontal distance from the edge of the table to the
point where the book strikes the floor;
(a) How fast should the car be traveling at the time it leaves the road
in order just to clear the river and land safely on the opposite
side?
Crickets Chirpy and Milada jump from the top of a vertical
cliff. Chirpy drops downward and reaches the ground in
2.70 s, while Milada jumps horizontally with an initial speed
of 95.0 cm/s. How far from the base of the cliff will Milada
hit the ground? Ignore air resistance.
