Study Notes

Combustion Reactions

Combustion involves a fuel reacting with oxygen, releasing energy.
Common fuels include hydrocarbons (compounds of carbon and hydrogen).
Complete combustion generates carbon dioxide, water, and energy in excess oxygen.
Incomplete combustion results in carbon monoxide, water, and lower energy release.
The combustion reaction is exothermic, reflecting the energy difference from bond breaking and formation.
Bond energy is the energy needed to break one mole of bonds.
General formula: Fuel + Oxygen → Carbon Dioxide + Water + Energy.
Balancing equations requires ensuring equality of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms across the reaction.

Motion and Velocity

Motion is defined as the change in position or direction relative to another object or a reference frame.
Velocity indicates displacement over time, while speed measures the distance traveled over time, lacking directional information.
Acceleration is defined as the change in velocity over time.
Average velocity is displacement divided by time; instantaneous velocity is current position over time.
Scalars have magnitude only (e.g., speed), while vectors have both magnitude and direction (e.g., velocity).

Force and Motion

Objects require an external force to accelerate or change motion, according to Newton's Second Law (F = m*a).
Acceleration can be positive (increasing speed) or negative (decreasing speed).
Centripetal force and tangential forces act on objects in circular motion, affecting their velocities.
Falling objects accelerate at -9.8 m/s² due to gravity.

Mechanics and Inertia

Mechanics studies the behavior of moving objects, defined by motion and inertia.
Inertia is an object's resistance to changes in motion, relevant to mass.
The interaction of forces can lead to states of equilibrium, where forces are balanced.

Circular Motion

Uniform circular motion maintains constant speed but varied velocity due to direction changes.
Centripetal force is required to sustain circular motion, and centripetal acceleration keeps objects moving in a circle.

Projectile Motion

Projectiles follow a parabolic trajectory influenced by initial velocity, launch angle, and gravity.
The horizontal and vertical components of projectile motion operate independently.

Newton’s Laws of Motion

Newton's First Law states objects remain at rest or in uniform motion unless acted upon by an unbalanced force (law of inertia).
Newton's Second Law relates net force to mass and acceleration.
Newton's Third Law states that every action has an equal and opposite reaction.
Weight is a vector quantity influenced by gravity, varying with location, whereas mass remains constant.

Forces

Forces, measured in Newtons, can be contact (e.g., friction, tension) or non-contact (e.g., gravitational).
Balanced forces lead to mechanical equilibrium, showing no change in motion, while unbalanced forces result in acceleration.
Free-body diagrams visually represent forces acting on an object, aiding in calculations of net forces and equilibrium states.

Key Equations

Weight = mass × gravitational force (W = m * g).
Net Force = mass × acceleration (F_net = m * a).
Motion equations for circular and projectile motion consider both horizontal and vertical components.### Forces and Motion
A force is defined by both magnitude and direction, represented as vectors.
Net force is determined by subtracting opposing forces.
An object is at rest if it has zero velocity, balanced forces, or no acceleration.

Newton's Second Law of Motion

Isaac Newton established that the net force acting on an object divided by its acceleration equals the object's mass.
Momentum is derived from the formula: momentum = mass × velocity.
In experiments without friction, varying forces were applied to an object, showing a constant ratio of net force to acceleration.

Effects of Friction

Friction reduces net force, which results in slower average speeds and decreased acceleration.
Increased mass correlates with increased friction, leading to a reduction in net force.
Under similar net forces, lighter objects (e.g., a baseball) achieve greater acceleration compared to heavier objects (e.g., a bowling ball).

Free-Body Diagrams

Identifying forces acting on an object involves understanding different force types, like gravity and friction.
Free-body diagrams can visually represent the forces and their directions relative to an object.

Definition of Acceleration

Acceleration is characterized as the rate of change of velocity.
Galileo first articulated the concept of acceleration, linking it to gravitational force.
Acceleration is directly proportional to force and inversely proportional to mass.

Free Fall and Air Resistance

In free fall, the sole force acting is gravity, with negligible air resistance.
All objects fall and reach the ground simultaneously in ideal conditions.
Real-world falling objects face air resistance, which counteracts gravitational acceleration, leading to terminal velocity where acceleration ceases.
