and identify the corresponding quantities in linear motion.
- use a graph of torque vs angular acceleration to obtain a value for the moment of inertia.
- use the formula I = ½ (M. R²) to calculate the moment of inertia of a flywheel.
- use the formula Ep = m. g. x to calculate the loss in gravitational potential energy of a falling mass.
- use the formula Ek = ½ (I.Ꞷ) to calculate the kinetic energy of a spinning flywheel. Resolve a given force into two perpendicular components.
- use given information on horizontal, vertical, and oblique forces to determine whether a beam is in equilibrium.
- distinguish between static and sliding friction.
- describe an experiment designed to measure both the static and sliding frictional force between two surfaces.
- explain why gently tapping the bench improves the accuracy of a measurement of sliding friction.
- use the formula µs = frictional force / normal force to calculate the coefficient of static friction.
- use a graph of frictional force vs normal force to obtain a value for the coefficient of static friction.
- resolve a force into two perpendicular components using Rn = W cos Ø and Rp = W sin Ø
- use the formula µk = tan Ø, where Ø is the minimum angle at which the cart slides down a slope to calculate the coefficient of sliding friction.
- describe an experiment to measure the normal and parallel components of the weight of an object on an inclined plane.
