Linear and Circular Motion
- Learning Outcomes:
- Recall the requirements of unit systems in physics.
- Learn fundamental units in physics.
- Understand unit conversions and conversion factors.
- Familiarize with scaling factors (kilo, micro, milli, nano, etc.).
- Grasp accuracy, precision, and resolution of instruments.
- Understand the concept of position.
- Differentiate displacement and distance.
- Calculate velocity and acceleration in linear motion.
- Learn about angular motion.
- Express angular velocity using equations.
- Deduce the relationship between linear and angular velocity.
- Differentiate frequency and period in circular motion.
- Relate circular motion to the operation of a centrifuge.
Fundamental Physical Quantities
- SI Base Units:
- Length: Measured in meters (m), defined as the distance light travels in a vacuum in 1/299,792,458 seconds.
- Mass: Measured in kilograms (kg), the mass of the international prototype of the kilogram.
- Time: Measured in seconds (s), the duration of 9,192,631,770 periods of the radiation corresponding to the transition between two hyperfine levels of the ground state of cesium-133.
- Electric Current: Measured in amperes (A), the constant current in two long parallel conductors.
- Temperature: Measured in kelvin (K), 1/273.16 of the thermodynamic temperature of the triple point of water.
- Amount of Substance: Measured in moles (mol), the amount of substance containing as many entities as there are atoms in 0.012 kg of carbon-12.
- Luminous Intensity: Measured in candelas (cd).
Unit Conversions
- Charts (Table B.2): Provide conversion factors for various units (length, time, speed, volume, energy, temperature, pressure, angle, force)
Length Scale Comparison
- A visual representation of different length scales, ranging from silicon atoms to spiral galaxies, using prefixes and powers of ten.
Position and Displacement
- Position: Requires a reference point, distance, and direction.
- Displacement: Change in position; calculated as final position minus initial position (Δx = xf – xi).
Displacement Versus Distance
- The magnitude of displacement isn't always equal to the total distance traveled.
Velocity
- Instantaneous Velocity: Calculated as the limit of displacement over time as the time interval approaches zero (vx = lim ∆t → 0 ∆x/∆t).
Difference Between Speed and Velocity
- Speed: Scalar, rate of covering distance, cannot be negative or zero.
- Velocity: Vector, rate of change of position (with direction).
Acceleration
- Acceleration: Rate of change of velocity.
Definition of Instantaneous Acceleration
- Instantaneous acceleration determined by the limit of the change in velocity over a very short time interval (ax = lim Δt → 0 Δvx/ Δt).
Circular Motion
- Uniform circular motion: Motion in a circle at a constant speed.
- Angular displacement: the angle an object travels in circular motion and is measured in radians.
- Angular velocity: the rate at which an object's angle changes in circular motion, measured in radians per second.
- Period and frequency: Period (T) is the time for one complete revolution; frequency (f) is the number of revolutions per unit time (f = 1/T). The units are Hertz (Hz).
Relation Between Linear and Angular Speed
- Linear speed relates to angular speed via the angular displacement (v = rω).
Centrifuge
- Separates mixtures based on density by applying centrifugal force.
- A device that rotates rapidly.
