Bimester Review Pre Physics

Unit 3: Forces
Work (3)
·     Outline what is meant by work (displacement and force in the same direction).
·     Determine work done by a constant force.
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.
