3short Q&A pairs drawn directly from our worked dot-point answer. For full context and worked exam questions, read the parent dot-point page.

What is q1?
Show answer
State the direction of the centripetal acceleration of an object in uniform circular motion. [1 mark]
What is q2?
Show answer
A wheel rotates at 3.0 rad s13.0\ \text{rad s}^{-1}. A point on the rim is 0.40 m0.40\ \text{m} from the axis. Find its linear speed.
What is q3?
Show answer
Explain why the centripetal force does no work on an object in uniform circular motion. [2 marks]
