Two worksheets (each two or three pages long) to help students understand how to write equations for objects moving through vertical and horizontal circles. The aim to encourage the following process:
- Draw a free body diagram
- Write a statement for resultant force
- Equate with the centripetal force equation
I would recommend preceding this by getting students to look at a couple of ‘accelerating elevator’ problems (e.g. from multiple choice exam questions), revising vertical linear motion from previous learning.
Students could follow up each worksheet with a selection of exam questions from exampro looking at related ideas.
