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)

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

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

Kinematic Equations
Only used when an object is accelerating
vf = vi + at
← missing d
vf2 = vi2 + 2ad
← missing t
d = vit + ½at2
← missing vf
d = (vi + vf)t/2
← missing a

Choose the kinematic equation based on:

  • what quantities you are given
  • what quantity is asked for
  • what quantity is not involved
