Circular Motion
Centripetal force: caused by
friction or tension or gravity
Centripetal acceleration: due to a
change in direction NOT speed
Velocity
Vectors have direction
E 10° S
Energy
Separate
vertical and
horizontal
motion
Mechanics
Momentum
Torque (N m)
(kg ms-1)
τ = Fd
p = mv
Balance:
Always conserved Clockwise torques =
(unless acted upon
by an unbalanced
force)
Impulse
Δp = Ft
anticlockwise
torques
Acceleration
Adding vectors
using Pythagoras
Don’t forget the
angle!
Newton’s Laws of Motion
1st: An object
will travel at
constant
velocity unless
acted on by an
unbalanced
resultant force
2nd: Unbalanced
resultant force
leads to an
acceleration
F = ma
3rd: Every
action has an
equal and
opposite
reaction
Friction and air resistance
opposes motion
v = fλ , T=1/f
f is negative
Di, Hi is negative
Diverging
Converging
f is positive
Di, Hi is positive

Reflection at
critical angle
Refraction: TAG AGA
Diffraction, max if λ = gap
longer λ get diffracted more
