For anything to go in a circle there has to be a force. P3 1.5 Circular motion For anything to go in a circle there has to be a force. Otherwise they would… ….. continue in a straight line out of the solar system
P3 1.5 Circular motion To travel in a circle at constant speed, the * velocity changes direction towards the centre VA A
P3 1.5 Circular motion To travel in a circle at constant speed, the * velocity changes direction towards the centre VA A VB B
P3 1.5 Circular motion To travel in a circle at constant speed, the * velocity changes direction towards the centre * object accelerates continuously towards the centre VA VB A B
P3 1.5 Circular motion To travel in a circle at constant speed, the * velocity changes direction towards the centre * object accelerates continuously towards the centre VA VB A B Acceln = change in velocity time taken
P3 1.5 Circular motion To travel in a circle at constant speed, the * velocity changes direction towards the centre * object accelerates continuously towards the centre * centripetal force causes the central acceleration VA VB A B Acceln = change in velocity time taken
P3 1.5 Circular motion To travel in a circle at constant speed, the * velocity changes direction towards the centre * object accelerates continuously towards the centre * centripetal force causes the central acceleration VA VB A B Acceln = change in velocity time taken Force = mass x acceln
P3 1.5 Circular motion To travel in a circle at constant speed, the * velocity changes direction towards the centre * object accelerates continuously towards the centre * centripetal force causes the central acceleration VA VB A B Acceln = change in velocity time taken Force = mass x acceln
To travel in a circle at constant speed, the Circular motion To travel in a circle at constant speed, the * velocity changes direction towards the centre * object accelerates continuously towards the centre * centripetal force causes the central acceleration VA VB A B VB - VA Acceln = change in velocity time taken VB - VA Acceln = T Force = mass x acceln Mathematically it can be shown that acceln = V2 r Force = mass x V2 r
P3 1.5 Circular motion Force = mass x V2 r The Centripetal force needed increases if : the mass increases the speed increases the radius of the circle decreases
