Energy
  • Energy can never be created
  • Energy can never be destroyed
  • Energy can only change its form (Work is done)
  • Energy has the ability to make something happen, i.e. to do Work
  • The unit for energy is the Joule (J)
  • J = Kgm2s-2  in fundamental units

Work
Work is a transformation (change) of energy from one form to another form. Work only occurs when something is done.

  • Power is the rate at which energy is transformed
  • Power is the rate at which work is done
  • Unit of power Watt (W = J/s)

    Torque
    𝝉 = F L⦜
    𝝉: Torque (Nm)
    F: applied Force (N)
    L⦜: Length of lever at right angles to the applied force (m)

    • Torque (Moments) in Level 2 Physics will involve Static Systems
    • Therefore the Torques are balanced and the Forces are balanced - Newton's Laws of Motion apply to turning forces as well as linear forces
    • PhET - Torque Balancing Act simulation

    Bridge support forces moments


    Torque (Moments anout a point)
    Static (unmoving) systems will be used for this section. Therefore all forces, linear and turning, are balanced






    Torque

Circular Motion
  • Velocity is always at a tangent to the circle. Even if the speed remains constant, the velocity is changing because it is accelerating.

vc = 2𝝿r/T

  • Centrapetal Acceleration is always toward the centre of the circle.
  • ac = mv2/r
  • Centapetal Force is the Net Force, and is also always towards the centre of the circle.

Fc = mv2/r
