Study Notes

Mechanics - Basic Concepts

Velocity, acceleration, force, impulse, momentum, uniform and accelerated motion
Newton's laws, work, energy, power, energy conservation, momentum conservation

Velocity

Average velocity is the distance traveled divided by the time taken (measured in m/s)
Rate of change of an object's position with respect to a frame of reference.
A function of time.
A vector quantity, including both magnitude and direction.

Acceleration

Rate of change of velocity over time (measured in m/s²)
The net result of all forces acting on an object, as described by Newton's Second Law.
A vector quantity.

Force

Any interaction that changes the motion of an object.
Can be described as a push or a pull.
A vector quantity, with both magnitude and direction.
Measured in Newtons (N).

Impulse

Symbolized by J or Imp
The integral of a force over a time interval.
A vector quantity in the same direction as force.
Equivalent to a vector change in linear momentum.

Work

Done when a force causes a displacement of the point of application in the direction of the force.
Product of force and distance in the direction of the force (measured in joules, J).
Transfers energy.

Energy

A property that must be transferred to an object in order to perform work or heat the object.
Can be converted from one form to another, but not created or destroyed.
Measured in joules (J).
Includes kinetic energy, potential energy, and other forms like radiant energy or thermal energy.

Momentum

Product of an object's mass and velocity.
A vector quantity.
Dimensionally equivalent to impulse.
Quantified in kilograms-meters per second (kg m/s).
Total momentum remains constant in a closed system.

Newton's Laws

First Law: An object remains at rest or in motion with a constant velocity unless acted on by an unbalanced force.
Second Law: The net force on an object is equal to the mass of the object multiplied by its acceleration (F = ma).
Third Law: When one body exerts a force on a second body, the second body simultaneously exerts an equal and opposite force on the first body.

Power

Rate at which work is done or energy is transferred.
Measured in joules per second (J/s) or Watts (W).
It has no direction, and is a scalar quantity.

Energy Conservation Law

Energy can change forms but is not created or destroyed
Equivalent to mass (E=mc²)

Momentum Conservation Law

In a closed system, the total momentum remains constant.
