Defining Gravitational Field There is a force of attraction between?all?masses This force is known as the ‘force due to gravity’ or the weight The Earth’s gravitational field is responsible for the...
Calculating Centripetal Force An object moving in a circle is not in equilibrium, it has a resultant force acting upon it This is known as the?centripetal force?and is what keeps the object moving ...
Calculating Centripetal Acceleration Centripetal acceleration is defined as: The acceleration of an object towards the centre of a circle when an object is in motion (rotating) around a circle at a...
What Causes Centripetal Acceleration? Velocity?and?acceleration? are both?vector? quantities An object in?uniform circular motion?is?continuously changing direction,?and therefore is?constantly cha...
Angular Speed Any object travelling in a uniform circular motion at the same speed travels with a?constantly changing velocity This is because it is?constantly changing direction, and is therefore ...
Radians & Angular Displacement In circular motion, it is more convenient to measure angular displacement in units of?radians?rather than units of degrees The?angular displacement?(θ) of a body ...
Quark Composition: Protons & Neutrons Protons and neutrons are?not?fundamental particles. They are each made up of three quarks Protons?are made up of?two up quarks and a down quark Neutrons?ar...
Fundamental Particles: Quarks Quarks are?fundamental particles?that make up other subatomic particles such as?protons and neutrons Protons and neutrons are in a category of particles called?hadrons...
Neutrino Emission An electron neutrino is a type of subatomic particle with no charge and negligible mass which is also emitted from the nucleus The anti-neutrino is the antiparticle of a neutrino ...
