Difficult Projectile and Circular Motion Problem

This topic is part of the HSC Physics syllabus under the section Projectile Motion and  Circular Motion.

HSC Physics Syllabus

• Apply the modelling of projectile motion to quantitatively derive the relationships between the following variables:

  – maximum height
  – time of flight
  – final velocity
  – horizontal range of the projectile

• Solve problems, create models and make quantitative predictions by applying the equations of motion relationships for uniformly accelerated and constant rectilinear motion

• Solve problems, model and make quantitative predictions about objects executing uniform circular motion in a variety of situations, using the following relationships:

– `a_c=v^2/r`

– `v=2πr/T`

– `F_c=(mv^2)/r`

– `\omega = \frac{\Delta \theta}{t}`
