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

  • Act 13A p.148-149 Circular Motion
  • Ex 4H p.132-134 Circular Motion

    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
