Introduction
Duration: (10 - 15 minutes)
🎯 Purpose: The aim of this stage is to provide an engaging introduction to uniformly accelerated circular motion, linking theoretical content with practical examples from everyday life. This approach is designed to spark students' interest, facilitating their understanding and retention of the concepts that will be explored further in the lesson.
Did you know?
🔍 Curiosity: A fascinating example of uniformly accelerated circular motion is the wheels of a car when it brakes. When the driver presses the brake pedal, the angular velocity of the wheels decreases uniformly due to negative angular acceleration. This real-life scenario exemplifies how theoretical concepts are relevant in daily life, highlighting the importance of grasping this type of motion to ensure vehicle safety and efficiency.
Contextualization
📚 Context: To kick off the lesson, explain that circular motion is a part of everyday life, from the movement of clock hands to how vehicle engines and wheels work. Clarify that, unlike uniform circular motion where angular velocity remains constant, uniformly accelerated circular motion involves a change in angular velocity over time. This means angular acceleration is not zero, leading to variations in angular velocity along the circular path. Understanding this concept is key in various fields like physics and engineering, particularly in analyzing rotational systems and motion transmission mechanisms.

🔍 Purpose: This stage aims to develop a thorough understanding of the concepts and formulas related to uniformly accelerated circular motion. By delving into each topic and tackling practical problems, students will learn to apply theoretical concepts to real-world situations and solve problems effectively. This structured approach reinforces their knowledge and hones essential skills necessary for comprehending complex rotational movements.
Relevant Topics
1. 📈 Angular Acceleration (α): Explain that angular acceleration refers to the rate at which angular velocity changes over time. Its unit in the International System (SI) is radians per second squared (rad/s²). Formula: α = Δω / Δt, where Δω represents the change in angular velocity and Δt represents the time interval.
2. 🔄 Angular Velocity (ω): Clarify that angular velocity is the rate of change of the rotation angle with respect to time. Its unit in SI is radians per second (rad/s). Formula: ω = ω₀ + αt, where ω₀ is the initial angular velocity, α is the angular acceleration, and t is the time.
3. 🕒 Period (T) and Frequency (f): Explain that the period is the time taken to complete one full revolution, while frequency indicates the number of revolutions per unit of time. Formulas: T = 2π/ω and f = 1/T.
4. 🔄 Angular Displacement (θ): Detail that angular displacement is the change in rotational angle over time. Its unit in SI is radians (rad). Formula: θ = ω₀t + 0.5αt², where θ is the angular displacement, ω₀ is the initial angular velocity, α is the angular acceleration, and t is time.
5. 🔍 Relation between Linear and Angular Quantities: Discuss the relationship between linear and angular quantities, such as tangential velocity (v = rω) and tangential acceleration (a_t = rα), where r is the radius of the circular path.

Diskusi Concepts
1. 1. Question 1: A disk rotates with a constant angular acceleration of 2 rad/s². If the initial angular velocity is 1 rad/s, what will the angular velocity be after 5 seconds?
Explanation: The formula used is ω = ω₀ + αt. Plugging in the numbers:
ω = 1 rad/s + (2 rad/s² * 5 s) = 1 rad/s + 10 rad/s = 11 rad/s.
Thus, the angular velocity after 5 seconds will be 11 rad/s. 2. 2. Question 2: Calculate the angular displacement of a wheel that starts from rest and rotates with an angular acceleration of 3 rad/s² for 4 seconds.
Explanation: The formula we use is θ = ω₀t + 0.5αt². Since it starts from rest, ω₀ = 0. Plugging in the numbers:
θ = (0 rad/s * 4 s) + 0.5 * (3 rad/s²) * (4 s)² = 0 + 0.5 * 3 * 16 = 24 rad.
So, the angular displacement will be 24 radians. 3. 3. Question 3: A fan completes one rotation in 0.5 seconds. What is its angular velocity in rad/s and its angular displacement after 3 seconds, assuming constant angular acceleration?
Explanation: First, we find the angular velocity (ω). We know that one complete rotation is equal to 2π radians, and the period (T) is 0.5 s. The formula for angular velocity is ω = 2π / T. Substituting:
ω = 2π / 0.5 s = 4π rad/s.
To determine angular displacement (θ) after 3 seconds with constant angular acceleration, we use the formula θ = ω₀t + 0.5αt². Here, ω₀ = 4π rad/s and α = 0 (as no acceleration different from zero is specified). Thus:
θ = 4π rad/s * 3 s + 0.5 * 0 * 9 = 12π rad.
Therefore, the angular displacement after 3 seconds will be 12π radians.
