Physics Topic: Motion in a Circle
-
Express angular displacement in radians.
-
Understand and use the concept of angular velocity to solve problems.
-
Recall and use v = rw to solve problems.
-
Describe qualitatively motion in a curved path due to a perpendicular force, and understand the centripetal acceleration in the case of uniform motion in a circle.
-
Recall and use centripetal acceleration a = rw2 and a = v2/r to solve problems.
-
Recall and use centripetal force F = mrw2 and F = mv2/r to solve problems.
