Study Notes
Friction
- Friction opposes motion, causing objects to slow down and stop.
- It's a force that resists the sliding movement of surfaces in contact.
- Surfaces sticking or touching together create friction.
- Air friction acts against gravity, affecting falling objects.
- Examples include friction between tires and roads, objects and surfaces, and falling objects.
Kinds of Friction
- Rolling Friction: Occurs when an object rolls on a surface. Examples include moving vehicle tires on the road.
- Sliding Friction: Also known as dry friction, arises when two objects slide against each other. Examples include moving a block of wood on sandpaper or pushing an object.
- Fluid Friction: Occurs between moving objects and a fluid (liquid or gas). Examples include a swimmer in water, a boat traveling in water, and an airplane.
- Static Friction: A type of friction that prevents stationary objects from moving. Examples include a notebook on a table.
Effects of Friction
- Desirable Effects: Friction allows gripping, converting motion types (e.g., one form of motion to another), and converting energy from one form to another.
- Undesirable Effects: Friction creates heat, noise, and causes wear and tear on materials, making objects more difficult to move at a constant speed.
Ways to Overcome or Reduce Friction
- Using lubricants on surfaces
- Reducing contact between moving surfaces
- Minimizing contact between rough surfaces
- Using aerodynamic shapes
Energy
- Potential Energy: Stored energy related to position. Examples include a ball held above the ground, a stretched rubber band, or a boulder on a hill. - Forms of potential energy include: Chemical, Elastic, Nuclear, Gravitational
- Kinetic Energy: Energy of motion. Examples include a stone released by a slingshot, a rolling ball, and a moving object.
-Forms of kinetic energy include: Radiant/Light, Sound, Thermal/Heat, Electrical, Mechanical - Energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed.
Simple Machines
- Inclined Plane: A sloping surface that reduces the effort needed to lift an object. Examples include ramps, slopes.
- Lever: A rigid bar that pivots around a fixed point (fulcrum). Examples include crowbars, oars, nutcrackers. -Three types of levers: First-class (fulcrum between load and effort), Second-class (load between fulcrum and effort), and Third-class (effort between load and fulcrum)
- Wedge: A double inclined plane that is sharpened at both ends. Examples include axe blades.
- Screw: An inclined plane wrapped around a cylinder. Examples include screws.
- Pulley: A grooved wheel with a rope or cable running through it to change the direction or magnitude of a force. Examples include bicycle gears.
- Wheel and Axle: A wheel with a smaller axle attached. Examples include bicycle gears, door knobs, and bottle openers.
