Questions and Answers

What is the primary distinction between breathing and cellular respiration?

  • Breathing involves gas exchange; cellular respiration produces energy. (correct)
  • Breathing occurs in the lungs; cellular respiration happens in the blood.
  • Breathing is a chemical process; cellular respiration is mechanical.
  • Breathing requires energy; cellular respiration does not.

Study Notes

  • Momentum is a particle's mass multiplied by its velocity, represented as $\vec{p} = m\vec{v}$.
  • Momentum is a vector quantity measured in kg m/s.
  • The total momentum in a system is the vector sum of each particle's momentum: $\vec{p}_{\text{total}} = \vec{p}_1 + \vec{p}_2 +... = m_1\vec{v}_1 + m_2\vec{v}_2 +...$

Momentum Example

  • A 3.0 kg particle moving at $\vec{v} = (3.0\hat{i} - 4.0\hat{j})$ m/s has momentum components of 9.0 kg m/s in the x-direction and -12 kg m/s in the y-direction.

Impulse

  • A force is required to change an object's momentum.
  • For a constant force $\vec{F}$ applied over a time interval $\Delta t$, Newton's Second Law gives: $\vec{F} = m\vec{a} = m\frac{\Delta \vec{v}}{\Delta t} = \frac{\Delta \vec{p}}{\Delta t}$.
  • This rearranges to $\Delta \vec{p} = \vec{F} \Delta t$.
  • Impulse is defined as $\vec{I} = \vec{F} \Delta t$
  • Impulse-momentum theorem: $\Delta \vec{p} = \vec{p}_f - \vec{p}_i = \vec{F} \Delta t = \vec{I}$.
  • Impulse is a vector quantity measured in N s.
  • Impulse is the area under a force versus time curve: $\vec{I} = \int_{t_i}^{t_f} \vec{F}(t) dt$.

Average Force

  • The average force for a varying force is $\vec{F}{\text{avg}} = \frac{1}{\Delta t} \int{t_i}^{t_f} \vec{F}(t) dt$.
  • $\vec{I} = \vec{F}_{\text{avg}} \Delta t$.
