Circular motion

Circular motion is a topic that allows examiners to test your understanding, mathematical reasoning and your ability to communicate ideas

Questions on circular motion are often asked that require calculations and extended writing, where you will be assessed on the quality of your written communication. Your answer has to be presented in a clear, logical manner, using technical language as well as mathematical expressions.

Challenge your first thoughts about the physics involved and make sure you have really considered the situation. Many students find the numerical questions accessible but then make errors entering data into the calculator or by not using an appropriate number of significant figures.
