Study Notes
Important Measurements
- Base Quantities: Length (meter), Mass (kilogram), Time (second).
- Derived Quantities: Velocity (m/s), Acceleration (m/s²), Force (Newton), Work/Energy (Joule).
Notation and Significant Digits
- Regular Notation: Standard numerical representation (e.g., 760).
-
Scientific Notation: Uses powers of ten to express large or small numbers.
- Large Example: 280,000,000 = 2.8 x 10^8.
- Small Example: 0.0000056 = 5.6 x 10^-6.
-
Significant Digits Rules:
- Nonzeros are significant.
- Zeros between digits are significant.
- Leading zeros (e.g., 0.0078) are not significant.
- Trailing zeros after decimals (e.g., 0.07800) are significant.
Measurement Concepts
- Accuracy: Closeness to the true value measured using relative error formula.
- Precision: Degree of exactness in measurement, expressed as relative or fractional uncertainty.
Scalar and Vector Quantities
- Scalar Quantities: Have only magnitude (e.g., distance, speed).
- Vector Quantities: Have both magnitude and direction (e.g., velocity, force).
Motion Principles
- Motion: Change in position over time relative to a reference point.
- Acceleration: Rate at which an object's velocity changes.
- Uniformly Accelerated Motion (UAM): Motion with constant acceleration; significant in free fall.
Acceleration Formulas
- Average Acceleration = Change in Velocity / Time.
- Constant acceleration = 9.8 m/s² for freely falling objects.
Free Fall and Projectile Motion
- Free Fall: Motion under gravity without air resistance, accelerating at approximately 9.8 m/s².
- Projectile Motion: Movement in a parabolic path, includes x and y components and time of flight.
Circular Motion
- Tangential Speed (vT): Speed of an object moving in a circular path, constant in uniform circular motion.
- Centripetal Acceleration (ac): Acceleration directed towards the circle's center.
- Centripetal Force (Fc): Net force directing toward the center, calculated as Fc = m * ac.
Newton's Laws of Motion
- First Law (Inertia): Objects at rest stay at rest, and objects in motion continue in uniform motion unless acted upon by an external force.
- Second Law: Force = mass × acceleration; acceleration is directly proportional to net force.
- Third Law: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
Work, Energy, and Power
- Work (W): Force applied over a distance, W = F × d; includes angles using cosine in its formula.
- Power (P): Rate at which work is done, P = W/t.
- Mechanical Energy: Total energy comprising kinetic and potential energy.
Momentum
- Momentum: Describes motion difficulty; a vector quantity.
- Impulse: Force applied over time; relates to change in momentum (Impulse = Force × Time).
- Conservation of Momentum: Total momentum remains constant in a closed system without external forces.
Collisions
-
Coefficient of Restitution (e): Ratio of velocities before and after collision; determines elasticity of collisions.
- Elastic Collision: e = 1, total momentum, and kinetic energy conserved.
- Inelastic Collision: 0 < e < 1, momentum conserved, but kinetic energy not.
- Perfectly Inelastic Collision: e = 0, objects stick together post-collision.
