Study Notes

Contact Forces

  • Frictional Force: opposes motion between two surfaces in contact
    • Types:
      • Static Friction: prevents motion between two surfaces
      • Kinetic Friction: opposes motion between two surfaces already in motion
    • Depends on:
      • Normal Force ( Fn )
      • Coefficient of Friction ( μ )
    • Formula: F_f = μ * Fn
  • Normal Force (Fn): force exerted by a surface on an object perpendicular to the surface
    • Depends on:
      • Mass of the object
      • Acceleration due to gravity (g)
    • Formula: Fn = mg

Field Forces

  • Gravitational Force: attractive force between two objects with mass
    • Depends on:
      • Masses of the objects (m1, m2)
      • Distance between the centers of the objects (r)
    • Formula: F_g = G * (m1 * m2) / r^2
  • Electric Force: force between two charged objects
    • Depends on:
      • Charges (q1, q2)
      • Distance between the centers of the charges (r)
    • Formula: F_e = k * (q1 * q2) / r^2
  • Magnetic Force: force between two magnets or a magnet and a current-carrying wire
    • Depends on:
      • Magnetic field strength (B)
      • Velocity of the moving charge (v)
      • Angle between the magnetic field and the velocity vector (θ)
    • Formula: F_m = q * v * B * sin(θ)

Contact Forces

  • Frictional Force: opposes motion between two surfaces in contact, dependent on Normal Force (Fn) and Coefficient of Friction (μ)
  • Types of Frictional Force:
    • Static Friction: prevents motion between two surfaces
    • Kinetic Friction: opposes motion between two surfaces already in motion
  • Frictional Force Formula: F_f = μ * Fn
  • Normal Force (Fn): force exerted by a surface on an object perpendicular to the surface, dependent on mass of the object and acceleration due to gravity (g)
  • Normal Force Formula: Fn = mg

Field Forces

  • Gravitational Force: attractive force between two objects with mass, dependent on masses of the objects (m1, m2) and distance between the centers of the objects (r)
  • Gravitational Force Formula: F_g = G * (m1 * m2) / r^2
  • Electric Force: force between two charged objects, dependent on charges (q1, q2) and distance between the centers of the charges (r)
  • Electric Force Formula: F_e = k * (q1 * q2) / r^2
  • Magnetic Force: force between two magnets or a magnet and a current-carrying wire, dependent on magnetic field strength (B), velocity of the moving charge (v), and angle between the magnetic field and the velocity vector (θ)
  • Magnetic Force Formula: F_m = q * v * B * sin(θ)
