    Study Notes

    Newton's Laws of Motion - Force and Interaction

    • Force is a push or pull, a vector quantity with magnitude and direction.
    • Force is measured in Newtons (N).
    • Types of force include:
      • Contact force: interactions between objects that are touching (e.g., normal force, tension force, compression force, friction).
      • Non-contact force: interactions between objects that are not touching (e.g., gravitational force, electrostatic force, magnetic force).
    • Center of mass: a point where any uniform force on an object acts. For uniform objects, the center of mass is at the centroid.
    • Free-body diagram: a diagram used to show the relative magnitude and direction of all forces acting on an object.

    Net Force

    • Net force is the sum of all forces acting on an object.
    • Net force = ΣF

    Contact Forces

    • Normal Force: A force exerted by a stable object in contact with another object, always perpendicular to the contact surface.
    • Tension Force: A force transmitted through a string, rope, cable, or wire, pulling on opposite ends.
    • Compression Force: A force exerted by a compressed or stretched spring on an object attached to it.
    • Friction Force: A force, always parallel to the surface, that slows or prevents an object's motion.
    • Applied Force: A force applied by a person or another object.

    Non-Contact Forces

    • Gravitational Force: A force that acts downward toward the center of the Earth, also known as weight. Weight = mg.
    • Electrostatic Force: A force between electrically charged objects, which can be attractive or repulsive.
    • Magnetic Force: A force between electrically charged or magnetized objects, which can be attractive or repulsive.

    Balanced and Unbalanced Forces

    • Balanced Forces: Equal in magnitude and opposite in direction, resulting in zero net force and stationary motion.
    • Unbalanced Forces: Not equal in magnitude and opposite in direction, resulting in non-zero net force and moving motion.

    Laws of Motion

    • Law of Inertia: An object at rest stays at rest, and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. Inertia is a property of an object, not a force. It depends on mass. The greater the mass, the more inertia. Inertia relates to equilibrium (balance of forces).
    • Law of Acceleration: A net force acting on an object causes the object to accelerate in the direction of the force. Acceleration is directly proportional to the net force and inversely proportional to the mass. Fnet = ma

    Law of Interaction

    • For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
    • Action and reaction forces act on different objects.

    Work, Power, and Energy

    • Work: The product of force and displacement in the direction of the force. W = Fd
    • Power: The rate of doing work. P = W/t
    • Energy: The capacity to do work
    • Kinetic Energy (KE): The energy of motion. KE = 1/2mv²
    • Potential Energy (PE): The energy of position related to height, stored energy. PE = mgh.
    • Elastic Potential Energy (EPE): The energy stored in elastic materials (stretched or compressed). EPE = 1/2kx²
    • Total Mechanical Energy (TME): The sum of kinetic and potential energies. TME = KE + PE

    Waves

    • Sound waves: disturbances that travel through a medium and transfer energy. Wave characteristics include wavelength, frequency, and amplitude. Sound waves travel faster in warmer mediums.
    • Light waves: electromagnetic waves that do not require a medium to propagate. Properties include reflection, refraction, diffraction, and interference, with different colors due to wave properties. Colors are created when white light is separated into various colors.

    Speed of Sound

    • Speed of sound depends on the temperature of the medium; it's faster in warmer mediums.
