Physics Topic: Circular Motion

  1. express angular displacement in radians

  2. show an understanding of and use the concept of angular velocity

  3. recall and use v = rω to solve problems

  4. show an understanding of centripetal acceleration in the case of uniform motion in a circle, and qualitatively describe motion in a curved path (arc) as due to a resultant force that is both perpendicular to the motion and centripetal in direction

  5. recall and use centripetal acceleration a = rω2, and a = v2r to solve problems

  6. recall and use F = mrω2, and F = mv2r to solve problems.
