Centripetal Force-Formulas----->SciLinks: Topic: Rotational Motion, Code: HF2071

Chapter 7.1 and 7.2
Angular Displacement: =
s/r  or  2-1=(s2-s1)/r   ---> is always in Radians...s is arc length
Angular Speed: Wavg=(2-1)/(t2-t1)
Angular Acceleration: (alpha) avg = (w2-w1) / (t2-t1)
Tangential (linear) Speed: vt=rw
Tangential (linear) acceleration: at=r(alpha)
Centripetal Acceleration: Ac= vt2 / r  or  Ac=rw2
Centripetal Force: Fc=mv2/r
Force: F=mc
Convert from Radians to Degrees: (X radians)*(180/3.14)
Convert from Degrees to Radians: (X degrees)*(3.14/180)
 

I think thats all of them....
