For an object to travel in a circular path, there must be a  centrifugalcentripetalfrequencyconstant force acting towards the centre of the circular path. For a mass on a string, being swung in a vertical circle, this force is equal to  weighttension + weightweight - tensionzero at the top of the circle.
The speed at which an object is travelling in the direction of motion at a given time on a circular path is its  linearconstantangularcentripetal speed, while the  constantlinearangularcentripetal speed is the rate at which the angle of the object changes.
In circular motion, displacement is often expressed in  oscillationsradiansmetrestorque, in which a single circle is considered to be  π/21π of these units. For a non-slipping wheel, the wheel making a single rotation will move forward by an amount equal to  the widththe speedthe radiusthe circumference of the wheel.
