A ball in uniform circular motion has a period of 3. 50 s as it travels in uniform circular motion about a 40. 0 cm radius circle, find the speed of the ball.



Answer :

In circular motion the speed of the ball is 879.2 cm/s.

s = 2πrt

Here, s = speed in circular motion

π = 3.14

r = radius, given = 40 cm

t = time period, given = 3.5 s

Put these values in the formula, s = 2πrt

s = 2 × 3.14 × 40 × 3.5

s = 879.2 cm/s

Hence, in circular motion the speed of the ball is 879.2 cm/s.

In circular motion, if a body moves in a circle of radius r and covers a distance equal to the circumference of the circle, then 2 π r. This distance is covered in time t. Consequently, the speed of a body in a circular motion is S = 2 πr t. Where r is the radius of the circle and t represents the time period.
