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).
