Study Notes
Newton's Laws
- Newton's laws describe how forces act on objects
- Combining two or more forces determines the net effect.
- Linear forces are added (if in line) or subtracted (if opposite direction)
Composition and Resolution of Forces
- Composition is combining two or more forces to find the net effect
- Resolution is replacing a single force with two or more. components
- Usually resolved into vertical (Fy) and horizontal (Fx) components
- For any force (F)
- X-component (Fx)
- Y-component (Fy) -Sometimes one of these (Fx or Fy) may be zero
Free Body Diagrams
- Steps to draw a Free Body Diagram:
- Identify and isolate the free body.
- Establish a coordinate reference frame.
- Draw all forces (internal and external) on the body.
- Draw the joint reaction force.
- Write the governing equations of motion (ΣFx = 0; ΣFy = 0; Σ = 0)).
Tipping vs. Slipping
-
Friction: A force that opposes motion between surfaces
- Coefficient of friction (μ) describes how "sticky" a surface is
- Friction force = μ * Normal Force
- Box tipping
- If push force is greater than friction, the object will begin to slide
- If push force is greater than the torque created by gravity, the object will begin to tip
Impulse-Momentum
- Momentum (M): The quantity of motion possessed by an object
- M = m * v (mass x velocity).
- Impulse: The quantity of net force applied over a period of time Impulse = ΣF * t
- The impulse applied to an object is equal to the change in momentum.
- Impulse–momentum relationship ΣF * t = Δmv
Work, Energy, Power
-
Work: The product of force and the displacement in the direction of the force.
- Work = Force * distance
- Energy: The capacity to do work.
- Kinetic Energy: Energy of motion (KE = 1/2mv²)
- Potential Energy: Energy due to position (PE = mgh)
- Elastic Energy: Energy due to deformation (EE = 1/2kx²)
-
Power: The rate at which work is done or energy is transferred.
- Power = Work / time
