    Study Notes

    Mechanics

    Kinematics

    • Study of motion without considering forces
    • Describes motion in terms of position, velocity, and acceleration
    • Key concepts:
      • Displacement (Δx): change in position
      • Velocity (v): rate of change of displacement
      • Acceleration (a): rate of change of velocity
      • Distance (d): total length of motion
      • Speed (s): magnitude of velocity
      • Time (t): duration of motion

    Dynamics

    • Study of motion with consideration of forces
    • Describes motion in terms of forces and their effects
    • Key concepts:
      • Force (F): push or pull that causes motion
      • Newton's Laws:
        • First Law (Inertia): an object at rest remains at rest, and an object in motion remains in motion, unless acted upon by an external force

    Momentum

    • Momentum (p): product of an object's mass and velocity
    • Key concepts:
      • Linear Momentum: momentum in a straight line
      • Conservation of Momentum: total momentum remains constant in a closed system
      • Collisions: transfer of momentum between objects

    Rotational Motion

    • Rotational Kinematics:
      • Angular Displacement (θ): change in angle
      • Angular Velocity (ω): rate of change of angular displacement
