Seeing circular motion

Seeing circular motion

Labelled circular motion figure with centre O, radius r, arc length s, central angle theta in radians, tangential velocity v, and angular velocity omega Circular motion is motion along the circumference of a circle. The radius rrr goes from the centre to the object, and the arc length sss is the distance travelled around part of the circle.

Step-by-step lessons on OCR A A Level Physics Kinematics of circular motion. Each one builds up to exam-style questions. Physics is one of the most mathematically demanding A Levels -- at least 40% of the marks across the three papers require maths skills at Level 2 (GCSE) standard or above, so build calculation and graph-handling fluency alongside the conceptual content from the start.
