Study Notes
Momentum
- Momentum is conserved in all collisions, regardless of whether they are elastic or inelastic.
- The momentum of an object is defined as its mass times its velocity.
- The momentum is always in the same direction as the velocity.
- In a closed system, the total momentum before a collision is equal to the total momentum after the collision.
Newton's Laws
- Newton's First Law states that an object at rest will stay at rest and an object in motion will stay in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
- According to Newton's second law, the net force acting on an object is proportional to the mass of the object and the acceleration of the object.
- The equation F = ma is used to calculate the force acting on an object.
- Newton (Unit of force) = (kg)(meter)/sec²
- The unit of impulse is (Newton)(sec).
- The impulse is equal to the change in momentum of the object.
Work and Energy
- Work is done when a force causes a displacement.
- The work done by a force is equal to the force times the distance the object moves.
- Work is measured in joules.
- Potential energy is the energy that is stored in an object as a result of its position.
- Kinetic energy is the energy that an object possesses due to its motion.
- The total mechanical energy of a system is the sum of its potential energy and kinetic energy.
Rotational Equilibrium
- Rotational Equilibrium exists when the net torque on an object is zero.
- An object can be in rotational equilibrium while simultaneously moving at an acceleration in a straight line.
Other
- The direction of the motion of the combined mass is determined by the net momentum of the system.
- If the momentum of the system is zero, then the combined object will move at a velocity of zero.
- If two objects have identical momentum, they could be moving with different velocities depending on their masses.
- Two objects with different masses can have their NET momentum zero if they move in opposite directions.
