    Study Notes

    Displacement and Distance

    • Displacement is the difference between the start and finish points of travel.
    • Distance is the total length traveled.
    • Displacement may be less than distance.

    Speed and Velocity

    • Speed is the rate of change in distance over time.
    • Velocity is the rate of change in displacement over time.
    • Average speed is calculated by dividing the total distance by total time.
    • Average velocity is calculated by dividing the final displacement by total time.

    Acceleration

    • Acceleration occurs when an object's velocity changes (increases or decreases).
    • Acceleration can be positive or negative (negative acceleration is deceleration).
    • Average acceleration is calculated by dividing the change in velocity by the total time taken.
    • Acceleration is the rate of change in velocity.

    Newton's Laws

    • Newton's first law states that a body will remain at rest or continue its uniform motion in a straight line unless acted upon by an external net force.
    • Inertia is the property of mass that resists changes in motion.

    Linear Motion

    • Linear motion is uniform if equal displacements occur in equal time periods, meaning constant velocity.
    • Average velocity = displacement/time
    • Average speed = distance/time

    Circular Motion

    • A centripetal force is required to keep an object moving along a circular path.
    • Without centripetal force, the object would travel in a straight line.

    Periodic Motion

    • Periodic motion repeats over time (e.g., mass on a spring, pendulum).
    • Energy in periodic motion is called wave energy.

    Vibration

    • Vibration is high-frequency periodic motion.
    • Vibrations in aircraft can originate from engines, turbulence, or worn flight control components.
    • Metal fatigue can result from vibration..

    Resonance

    • An object's natural or resonant frequency is the frequency at which it vibrates without an external force.
    • Resonance occurs when two objects with the same natural frequency are joined; energy transfer between them occurs.
    • Resonance can cause destructive forces on an aircraft.
    • Propellers might resonate at certain engine speeds, for example.

    Harmonics

    • Harmonics are multiples of an original natural frequency.
    • Harmonics can also resonate with natural frequencies.
    • Examples: If fundamental natural frequency is 100Hz, first harmonic is at 200Hz and the second harmonic is at 300Hz.
