Energy (5) | · Outline what is meant by kinetic energy. · Outline what is meant by change in gravitational potential energy. · State the “work-energy” theorem. · Solve problems on both types of energy, and the “work-energy” theorem. |
Unit 4: Circular Motion | |
Circular Motion (6) | · Draw a vector diagram to illustrate that the acceleration of a particle moving with constant speed in a circle is directed towards the center of the circle. · Apply the expression for centripetal speed. · Apply the expression for centripetal acceleration. · Apply the expression for centripetal force. · Identify the force producing circular motion in various situations (sideways friction on tires in a corner and gravitational pull). · Solve problems involving circular motion. |
Unit 5: Fluids | |
Hydrostatics (5) | · Identify the concepts of pressure and density in homogeneous solid, liquid, and gaseous materials. · Calculate the pressure, density, force, and area in homogeneous solid, liquid, and gaseous materials. · Solve problems applying the Pascal Principle. · Identify the characteristics of atmospheric pressure from Earth’s surface to outer space. · Identify the instruments to measure atmospheric pressure. · Determine quantitatively the variations of pressure and volume at constant temperature for a certain amount of gas using Boyle’s Law. · Solve problems applying the Archimedes’ Principle in fluids. |
