    Study Notes

    Laws of Motion

    • Force: An external push or pull that changes or attempts to change the position of a body at rest or in uniform motion.
    • Inertia: A body's resistance to change in its state of rest or uniform motion. Inertia is directly proportional to mass. A greater mass means a greater inertia.
    • Newton's First Law: A body at rest stays at rest, and a body in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
    • Momentum: The product of mass and velocity. Momentum is a vector quantity, meaning it has both magnitude and direction. Momentum's direction is the same as the direction of velocity. Formula: p = mv (momentum = mass × velocity)
    • Newton's Second Law: The rate of change of momentum of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and is in the same direction. The formula is F = ma (force = mass × acceleration).
    • Impulse: The product of force and the time during which the force acts. Impulse is a vector quantity. Formula: I = F × t (impulse = force × time)
    • Isolated System: A system where there is no exchange of mass or energy with its surroundings.
    • Law of Conservation of Linear Momentum: In the absence of external forces, the total linear momentum of an isolated system remains constant.

    Friction

    • Types of Friction: Static friction (opposes motion before movement), Limiting friction (maximum static friction), Kinetic friction (opposes movement during motion).
    • Laws of Limiting Friction: The magnitude of limiting static friction is independent of the contact area as long as the normal reaction remains the same. It is directly proportional to the normal reaction. Formula: fs = µsR (limiting friction = coefficient of static friction × normal reaction)
    • Laws of Kinetic Friction: The magnitude of kinetic friction is constant and depends on the nature of the two surfaces in contact, independent of contact area. It's directly proportional to the normal reaction. Formula: fk = µkR (kinetic friction = coefficient of kinetic friction × normal reaction).

    Concurrent Forces

    • Concurrent Forces: Forces acting at the same point on a body.
    • Coplanar Concurrent Forces: Forces acting in the same plane.
    • Equilibrium of Concurrent Forces: Three forces in equilibrium can be represented by the sides of a triangle taken in order.
    • Lami's Theorem: A useful relationship among three concurrent, coplanar forces in equilibrium.

    Centripetal Force

    • Centripetal force: the force that keeps a body moving in a circular path. Formula: F = mv²/r (force = mass x velocity² / radius).
    • Centrifugal Reaction: the reaction to the centripetal force.
