2. AL Physics Circular Motion

3. Circular motion Revision Circular motion in horizontal Vertical circular motion Loop-the-loop

4. Revision Newton’s Laws Circular motion in horizontal circles Centripetal force and acceleration Angular velocity, frequency & linear velocity

5. Newton’s first Law A body continues in a state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line unless it is acted upon by external forces.

6. No external force The body remains at rest. The body moves with a constant speed. Newton’s first Law

7. The rate of change of momentum of a body is proportional to and in the same direction as the resultant force that acts on it. Newton’s second Law

8. For fixed force A body with a larger mass moves with a smaller acceleration. A body with a smaller mass moves with a larger acceleration. Newton’s second Law

9. For fixed mass A body with a smaller net force moves with a smaller acceleration. A body with a larger net force moves with a larger acceleration. Newton’s second Law

10. If one body exerts a force on another, there is an equal and opposite force, called reaction, exerted on the first body. Newton’s third Law

11. Body A exerts a force on body B, then body B exerts an equal and opposite force on body A. Newton’s third Law Body A Body B Force on B by AForce on A by B

12. Newton’s third Law

13. Circular Motion in horizontal circles

14. Angular velocity  =  / t Linear velocity v =  r Centripetal force F = m r  2 = m v 2 / r Centripetal acceleration a = r  2 = v 2 / r

15. Circular Motion in horizontal circles Conical pendulum

16. Do you remember what kind of forces provides the centripetal force to the bob ? Tension T Weight mg Centripetal force

17. Vertical circular motion Bucket and water Does the water spill out the bucket when whirling ? If no, why doesn’t it spill out ?

18. Vertical circular motion Bucket and water What kind of motion does the bucket perform ? Vertical circular motion What kind of force provides the centripetal force F c to the bucket ? Tension T Weight mg

19. Vertical circular motion Bucket and water What kind of force provides the centripetal force F c to the bucket at the highest position ? F c = T + mg Tension T Weight mg

20. Vertical circular motion Bucket and water What kind of force provides the centripetal force F c to the bucket at the lowest position ? F c = T - mg Tension TWeight mg

21. Vertical circular motion Bucket and water What kind of force provides the centripetal force F c to the water at the highest position ? F c = R + W Reaction of the bucket R Weight of water W

22. Vertical circular motion Bucket and water What kind of force provides the centripetal force F c to the bucket at the lowest position ? F c = R - W Reaction of the bucket R Weight of water W

23. Vertical circular motion Loop-the-loop

24. What kind of force provides the centripetal force F c to the mass ? The reaction of the track
