Study Notes
Newton's Second Law
- Weight force is calculated using the formula ( F = mg ).
- For a 5 kg object, with acceleration due to gravity ( g = 9.8 , \text{m/s}^2 ):
- ( F = 5 \times 9.8 = 49 , \text{N} ) directed downwards.
- Larger mass requires greater force for acceleration or deceleration.
Comparison of Force and Acceleration
- An object's acceleration is affected by its mass and the net force acting on it.
- More force leads to higher acceleration at a constant mass.
- A rock with a greater mass needs more force to accelerate than a lighter rock.
Newton's First Law of Motion
- An object remains at rest or in uniform motion unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
- Example: A soccer ball at rest requires a player’s kick (unbalanced force) to move.
- Forces acting on moving objects can cause them to slow down, stop, or change direction.
Energy Calculations
-
Gravitational Potential Energy (GPE):
- Formula ( E_p = mgh ) where ( m ) is mass in kg, ( g = 9.8 , \text{m/s}^2 ), and ( h ) is height in meters.
- For a 0.5 kg book at 2 m: ( E_p = 0.5 \times 9.8 \times 2 = 9.8 , \text{J} ) when it falls.
- A 1 kg book at 2 m has ( E_p = 19.6 , \text{J} ).
-
Kinetic Energy (KE):
- Formula ( E_k = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 ), where ( v ) is the velocity in m/s.
- A 2 kg object thrown at 10 m/s has ( E_k = \frac{1}{2} \times 2 \times 10^2 = 100 , \text{J} ).
- A 2000 kg car moving at 4 m/s has ( E_k = \frac{1}{2} \times 2000 \times 4^2 = 16,000 , \text{J} ).
Energy Conservation
- Total mechanical energy is conserved; potential energy transforms into kinetic energy as an object falls.
- In a free fall, energy at the top (potential) equals energy at the bottom (kinetic).
Practical Applications
- Understanding energy calculations helps in predicting object motion and energy conversion during collisions.
- Knowing the relationship between mass, force, and acceleration is crucial in various fields, including physics and engineering.
