    Study Notes

    Forces and Newton's Laws of Motion

    • Force is an interaction between two bodies or a body and its environment
    • Measured in Newtons (N), equivalent to kg⋅m/s²
    • Contact forces involve physical touch between objects
      • Applied force (Fapp): force applied to an object
      • Tensional force (FT): force transmitted through a string, rope, or wire
      • Normal force (FN): support exerted on an object by a surface
      • Frictional force (Ff): opposes motion or attempted motion across a surface, calculated as Ff = μFN
    • Non-contact forces act without physical contact
      • Gravitational force (Fg): force of attraction between any two objects with mass, Fg = mg
        • Mass: amount of matter in an object
        • Weight: force of gravity acting on an object
      • Electromagnetic force: force between charged particles

    Kinetic Friction

    • Friction that occurs when an object slides or rolls over a surface
    • Coefficient of friction: ratio of the force needed to move an object horizontally to the pressure between the surfaces
    • Law of inertia (Newton's 1st Law): an object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force
      • Inertia: resistance to change in motion
        • Greater mass = greater inertia

    Newton's Laws of Motion

    • Law of Acceleration (Newton's 2nd Law): Acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass, F = ma
      • Free-body diagram: graphical illustration of forces acting on an object
    • Law of Interaction (Newton's 3rd Law): For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction

    Static Equilibrium

    • State where all forces acting on an object are balanced
    • Net force = 0
    • Can be at rest or constant velocity

    Work

    • Force applied to an object causing displacement
    • Measured in Joules (J), N⋅m, or kg⋅m²/s²
    • W = Fdcosθ , where F is force, d is displacement, and θ is the angle between F and d

    Energy, Power, and Momentum

    • Energy: body's ability to do work, measured in Joules (J)
      • Potential energy (PE): energy due to position or condition, PE = mgh
      • Kinetic energy (KE): energy due to motion, KE = ½mv²
      • Conservation of energy: energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed
    • Power: rate of energy transfer or work done, measured in Watts (W), W/t
    • Momentum: quantity of motion, measured in kg⋅m/s, p = mv
    • Impulse: force acting on an object for a given time, measured in N⋅s, I = FΔt
    • Impulse-momentum theorem: Impulse equals the change in momentum of an object, I=Δp

    Collisions

    • Collision: when objects come into direct contact
      • Elastic collision: no net loss in kinetic energy, objects remain separate
      • Inelastic collision: loss of kinetic energy, objects may combine

    Coefficient of Restitution (e)

    • Ratio of final to initial velocity after a collision.
    • Measures the elasticity of a collision
      • e = 1 for perfectly elastic collisions
      • 0 < e < 1 for inelastic collisions
      • e = 0 for perfectly inelastic collisions
