Study Notes

Module: B-2 Physics, Topic 2.2.2: Kinetics

Kinetics is a branch of physics dealing with the motion of objects and the forces that cause that motion.
Displacement refers to an object's position relative to its starting point. Distance is the total length traveled. Displacement considers direction, distance does not.
Speed is a scalar quantity, meaning only its magnitude (how fast) matters. Velocity is a vector quantity, meaning both its magnitude and direction matter.
Average speed is the total distance divided by the total time. Average velocity is the total displacement divided by the total time.
Acceleration is the rate of change in velocity. It can be positive (increasing speed) or negative (decreasing speed, deceleration).
The formula for acceleration is: a = ∆v / ∆t or a = (v - u) / t where:
a = acceleration
∆v = change in velocity
∆t = change in time
v = final velocity
u = initial velocity
t = time
Linear motion equations:
s = vt - (1/2)at²
s = ut + (1/2)at²
v = u + at
v² = u² + 2as
s= ((u+v)/2)*t
Newton's First Law of Motion: A body will remain at rest or continue its uniform motion in a straight line unless acted upon by an external net force. This law is a statement about inertia, the property of mass resisting changes in motion.
Newton's Second Law of Motion: The acceleration of a body is directly proportional to the force applied to it and inversely proportional to its mass (F = ma).
Newton's Third Law of Motion: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
Circular motion: A body traveling in a circle requires a constant force directed towards the center to maintain acceleration. This is known as the centripetal force. A centrifugal force outwardly is a result of inertia.
Circular motion (formula): F = mv²/r = mw²r (where m=mass, v=velocity, w=angular velocity, r=radius.
Centrifugal forces are important in high-speed rotating components in aircraft (like engine turbines, propellers etc.) because centrifugal force increases with the speed and radius of rotation.
Periodic motion, or simple harmonic motion (SHM): describes repeated motion that repeats over time.
Simple Harmonic Motion (SHM) occurs when an object vibrates around an equilibrium position under the influence of a linear restoring force, where the restoring force is proportional to the displacement from equilibrium. Wave energy travels through components in SHM.
Harmonics: harmonics occur as multiples of the original, natural frequency in vibrating objects.
Vibration: a high-frequency periodic motion. Atoms and molecules vibrate unless cooled to absolute zero. Components in an aircraft (such as engine and propellers) produce vibrations.
Resonance: occurs when objects with the same natural frequency vibrate together. This process transfers wave energy and can lead to significant vibrations and potentially structural damage.
Mechanical Advantage: the advantage gained from using a machine like a simple lever. Ideal Mechanical Advantage occurs without friction
Efficiency: the ratio of output work to input work in a machine (usually less than one due to frictional losses)
Simple pulley systems: the number of supporting strands is the IMA (ideal mechanical advantage)
More Complex pulley systems: the number of supporting strands is the IMA (ideal mechanical advantage)
The Wheel and Axle: IMA is calculated by dividing the radius of the wheel by the radius of the axle.
The Inclined Plane: IMA is calculated by dividing the length of the inclined plane by its height.
The Screw Jack: IMA is calculated from the formula: 2πR/p (R=radius, p=pitch).
