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

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)
