    Study Notes

    Introduction

    • Dynamics is the study of factors affecting an object's motion.
    • The two main factors influencing motion are forces acting on an object and the object's mass.
    • Isaac Newton formulated the three basic laws of motion, which deal with forces and mass.

    Force and Motion

    • Force is a push or pull acting on an object, causing a change in its velocity.
    • Motion refers to an object's movement from one place to another.
    • Force causes an object to move or stop moving.
    • Examples of forces include a kick on a ball and gravity acting on a ball.

    Newtonian Mechanics

    • Newtonian mechanics studies the relationship between force and motion.
    • Newtonian mechanics does not apply to situations with extremely high speeds or atomic-scale interactions.
    • At very high speeds, Einstein's special theory of relativity is used.
    • At atomic scales, quantum mechanics is used.

    Forces Types

    • Contact Forces: Result from physical contact between two objects.
    • Field Forces: Act without direct physical contact.

    Weight

    • The magnitude of the gravitational force acting on an object is its weight.
    • Weight is calculated using the formula: Weight (W) = mass (m) * gravitational acceleration (g).

    Normal Force

    • When a body presses against a surface, the surface deforms and pushes back with a normal force perpendicular to the surface.

    Tension Force

    • When a cord is attached to a body and pulled tautly, it pulls on the body with a tension force directed away from the body along the cord.

    Newton's Laws

    • Newton's First Law (Law of Inertia): If no force acts on a body, its velocity remains constant.
    • Newton's Second Law: The acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass.
    • Newton's Third Law: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

    The Vector Nature of Force

    • Force is a vector quantity, having both magnitude and direction.
    • Multiple forces acting on a body can be added vectorially to find the net force.
    • The principle of superposition states that the effect of multiple forces is the same as the effect of the net force.

    Mass and Inertia

    • Inertia is an object's tendency to resist changes in its motion.
    • Mass is a measure of an object's inertia.
    • Mass is a scalar quantity, measured in kilograms.

    Newton's Second Law

    • Newton's Second Law can be written in component form for each axis of a coordinate system.

    Free-Body Diagrams

    • Free-body diagrams represent a single body with all forces acting on it.

    Systems and External Forces

    • A system consists of one or more bodies.
    • External forces act on bodies within the system from outside the system.

    Internal Forces

    • Internal forces are forces between bodies within a system.

    Gravitational Force and Weight

    • The gravitational force is a field force that attracts all objects with mass.
    • Weight is the gravitational force acting on an object.

    Mass and Weight on the Moon

    • An object's mass is the same on Earth and the Moon.
    • An object's weight is less on the Moon than on Earth due to the Moon's lower gravitational acceleration.

    Newton's Third Law Revisited

    • Newton's third law states that when two bodies interact, they exert equal and opposite forces on each other.
