Planar motion — definition?
Movement confined to a single plane.
Types of planar movements — examples?
Translation, rotation, and their combination.
Displacement — role?
Represents change in position as a vector.
Relative velocity — formula?
$oldsymbol{v}_{A/B} = oldsymbol{v}_A - oldsymbol{v}_B$.
Circular motion — key feature?
Movement along a circle with centripetal acceleration.
Uniform motion — characteristic?
Constant velocity, no acceleration.
Projectile motion — components?
Horizontal (constant velocity) and vertical (accelerated).
Relative motion — concept?
Motion of an object as seen from another object.
Angular velocity — symbol?
$oldsymbol{ extomega}$, rate of angle change.
Period — definition?
Time for one complete revolution.
Non-uniform motion — condition?
Velocity changes over time.
Circular motion — acceleration direction?
Toward the circle's center (centripetal).
Kinematic quantities — examples?
Displacement, velocity, acceleration.
General plane motion — what?
Combination of translation and rotation.
Uniform circular motion — speed?
Constant, but velocity direction changes.
Planar motion — key characteristic?
All points stay within a single plane.
