GENERAL KNOWLEDGE

Detailed explanation-1: -Tangential velocity is the linear component of the speed of any object which is moving along a circular path. When an object moves in a circular path at a distance r from the center, then the body’s velocity is directed tangentially at any instant. This is termed as tangential velocity.

Detailed explanation-2: -Tangential Velocity is the component of motion along the edge of the circular path that is also tangent to the circle. It is the linear rate at which an object is moving at any point along its circular path.

Detailed explanation-3: -We will see that unlike linear motion, where velocity and acceleration are directed along the line of motion, in circular motion the direction of velocity is always tangent to the circle. This means that as the object moves in a circle, the direction of the velocity is always changing.

Detailed explanation-4: -When a body moves in a circular path at a distance r from the center, the body’s velocity is directed tangentially at any instant. This is known as tangential velocity. In other words, the linear velocity is its tangential velocity at any instant.

Detailed explanation-5: -If a body moves in a circle of radius r and covers a distance equal to the circumference of the circle, then 2 r This distance is covered in time . Consequently, the speed of a body in a circular motion is S = 2 r T where r is the radius of the circle and T represents the time period.
