Study Notes
Displacement and Velocity
- The displacement of a cyclist from point A to point C is represented by the area under the velocity-time graph.
- The gradient (slope) of the velocity-time graph represents the average velocity of the cyclist.
- Average velocity equals the change in displacement divided by the change in time.
- Average velocity can also be calculated by averaging the initial and final velocities: (final velocity + initial velocity)/2.
Acceleration
- Average acceleration is defined as the change in velocity divided by the time interval.
- The formula for average acceleration is: ∆v / ∆t, where ∆v is the change in velocity, and ∆t is the time interval.
Relative Motion
- Relative motion describes the motion of an object relative to another object, whether both objects are in motion or one is stationary.
- The relative velocity of object B with respect to object A is calculated by subtracting the velocity of object A from the velocity of object B: VBA = VB - VA.
- When objects move in the same direction, the relative velocity is the difference between their velocities.
- When objects move in opposite directions, the relative velocity is the sum of their velocities.
- When objects move at an angle to each other, the relative velocity is determined using vector addition.
Motion Under Gravity
- When an object is thrown downwards, the initial motion is downward.
- In this case, downward direction is considered positive, and upward direction is considered negative.
- The kinematic equations for motion under gravity are:
- v = u + gt
- h = ut + ½gt²
- v² = u² + 2gh
Significant Figures
- The number of significant digits in a measurement does not change when the system of units is changed.
- When a number is written in scientific notation (a × 10^b), the power of 10 does not affect the determination of significant figures.
- The smallest division on the scale of a measuring instrument is known as the resolution, which represents the uncertainty associated with the measurement.
Dimensions of Physical Quantities
- Dimensions represent the powers of the fundamental quantities (mass, length, and time) required to express a physical quantity.
- The dimensional formula is an expression that represents a physical quantity in terms of these fundamental quantities.
- For example, the dimensions of force can be expressed as [MLT^-2], where "M" represents mass, "L" represents length, and "T" represents time.
