4. What is the difference between SPEED and VELOCITY? VELOCITY is an objects SPEED in a GIVEN DIRECTION. Keywords: centripetal force; centripetal acceleration; To know what is meant by circular motion Grade C To describe centripetal acceleration Grade B To be able explain the factors which affect centripetal force Grade A

5. What is happening (at constant speed): - The velocity is directed to the tangent of the circle. Keywords: centripetal force; centripetal acceleration; To know what is meant by circular motion Grade C To describe centripetal acceleration Grade B To be able explain the factors which affect centripetal force Grade A

6. What is happening: - The velocity changes direction as it moves around. Keywords: centripetal force; centripetal acceleration; To know what is meant by circular motion Grade C To describe centripetal acceleration Grade B To be able explain the factors which affect centripetal force Grade A

7. What is happening: - The change in velocity is towards the centre of the circle. Keywords: centripetal force; centripetal acceleration; To know what is meant by circular motion Grade C To describe centripetal acceleration Grade B To be able explain the factors which affect centripetal force Grade A

8. If the object is constantly changing its velocity, therefore it is said to be ACCELERATING towards the centre of the circle – called centripetal acceleration. Keywords: centripetal force; centripetal acceleration; To know what is meant by circular motion Grade C To describe centripetal acceleration Grade B To be able explain the factors which affect centripetal force Grade A

9. Therefore, resultant force is towards the centre of the circle – called centripetal force.

10. Other examples: -Car going around a roundabout -Satellite going around the Earth -Hammer thrower at the Olympics Keywords: centripetal force; centripetal acceleration; To know what is meant by circular motion Grade C To describe centripetal acceleration Grade B To be able explain the factors which affect centripetal force Grade A

11. Other examples: -Car going around a roundabout – centripetal force is due to friction between tyres and road. -Satellite going around the Earth. -Hammer thrower at the Olympics. -Fairground ride centripetal force at the top is due to weight. Keywords: centripetal force; centripetal acceleration; To know what is meant by circular motion Grade C To describe centripetal acceleration Grade B To be able explain the factors which affect centripetal force Grade A

12. What affects the centripetal force? -Speed = faster the object, the greater the centripetal force needed. -Radius = centripetal force increases as radius decreases. Harder to keep an object in a circle with a SMALL radius.
