Boardworks Ltd 2015 Boardworks A-level Physics Year 2 Circular Motion Teacher notes acceleration – The rate of change of velocity. Acceleration is a vector quantity given by a = Δv/Δt. angular displacement – The angle moved through relative to a specific axis. Angular displacement is a vector quantity. angular velocity – The rate of change of angular displacement, given the symbol ω. ω = Δθ/Δt. Angular velocity is a vector quantity related to linear velocity by ω = v/r. arc – A segment of the circumference of a circle. centripetal acceleration – For an object moving in a circle, the acceleration of the object towards the centre of the circle. Measured in m s–2. centripetal force – For an object moving in a circle, the resultant force acting on the body, directed towards the centre of the circle. circumference – The distance around the perimeter of a circle. Given by 2πr, where r is the radius of the circle. degree – A unit used to measure angle. There are 360 degrees in a circle. Given the unit °. displacement – The distance moved in a given direction. Displacement is a vector quantity. frequency – The number of rotations per second, given the symbol f. Frequency is given by 1/T, where T is the period. period – For an object moving in a circle, the time taken to complete one rotation, given the symbol T. Period is given by T = 2π/ω where ω is the angular velocity. It is related to frequency by T = 1/f where f is the frequency. radian – A unit used to measure angle. One radian is defined as the angle subtended at the centre of a circle by an arc of the circle whose length is equal to the radius of the circle. There are 2π radians in a full ci
