The Easiest CAPE Physics Marks You’re Losing | CAPE Physics Unit 1

In this short I break down a = v²/r — the centripetal acceleration formula that CAPE Physics Unit 1 tests in circular motion questions — with a fully worked example, the direction rule examiners want to see, and the two-step method for when they give you period T instead of speed.

What you'll learn:
- What centripetal acceleration is and the formula a = v²/r
- How to identify v and r from a CAPE question
- A fully worked example (v = 20 m/s, r = 50 m)
- Why you must state "directed toward the centre" in written answers
- Bonus: what to do when CAPE gives you period T (v = 2πr/T first, then sub in)

Perfect for students preparing for CAPE Physics Unit 1 (CXC).
