Paper 1, Topic 6 - Further Mechanics Flashcards
1
Q
How many degrees is 2π radians?
A
360°
2
Q
What is the equation for angular displacement (θ)?
A
θ = s / r
Where s = arc length
and r is the radius of the circle.
3
Q
What is the definition of angular velocity?
A
The angle an object moves though per unit time.
4
Q
What are the equations for angular velocity?
A
⍵ = v / r ⍵ = 2π / T
5
Q
In which direction does centripetal force act?
A
Towards the centre of the object’s orbit.
6
Q
What is the equation for centripetal force?
A
F = mv² / r
