Relationship between timing quantities, speed and radius
What Relationship between timing quantities, speed and radius means in Physics A-Level, as defined for OCR.
Definition of Relationship between timing quantities, speed and radius
Check what you remember
Read the wording for your board, then hide it and explain Relationship between timing quantities, speed and radius in your own words. Rough notes are fine. This is a self-check, with no mark or grade.
Reference: OCR
Period and frequency are related to speed v and radius r by the equation v = 2πr/T, so knowing only the period or frequency does not uniquely determine the radius or speed.
