Deriving Equations for Centripetal Acceleration An object moving in uniform circular motion travels with a constant angular velocity and angular speed However, its direction is always changing Ther...
Angular Velocity The angular velocity ω of a body in circular motion is defined as: The rate of change of angular displacement In other words, angular velocity is the angle swept out by an object i...
学习A Level的同学都知道大部分英国院校发放的本科offer是基于三门A Level成绩，而每一门A Level的最高等级就是A*，在每年的Alevel考试中，取得三个A*的成绩都是很多同学的目标。那么A Level考试取得三个A*有多难...
Radians A radian (rad) is defined as: The angle subtended at the centre of a circle by an arc equal in length to the radius of the circle Radians are used whenever describing the angular displaceme...
Deriving the Energy-Momentum Relation The equation for calculating the kinetic energy Ek of a particle m moving at velocity v is given by: The formula for the momentum p of the same particle is: Co...
Elastic & Inelastic Collisions In both collisions and explosions, momentum is always conserved However, kinetic energy might not always be A collision (or explosion) is either: Elastic – if the...
Core Practical 10: Investigating Collisions using ICT Aims of the Experiment To investigate conservation of momentum in two directions Considering if collisions are elastic Constructing a diagram o...
Applying Conservation of Linear Momentum The principle of conservation of linear momentum states: The total momentum before a collision = the total momentum after a collision provided no external f...
Core Practical 9: Investigating Impulse Aims of the Experiment To determine the change in momentum of a trolley due to a force acting on it This is known as the impulse Variables Independent variab...
