Study Notes
Friction and Motion
- Friction prevents slipping during walking.
- A spring's stretch increases proportionally with the applied force.
- Forces can change an object's speed, direction, or shape.
- Skydivers fall due to gravity and air resistance.
- Force diagrams show forces acting on an object.
Free-Body Diagrams
- Leopard diagrams show gravity and normal forces.
- Constant speed with changes in direction (e.g., airplane) demonstrates unbalanced forces affecting direction, not speed.
- Zero displacement occurs when an object returns to its starting point.
- Balanced forces (e.g., book on a table) result in no movement.
- Resultant forces are calculated by subtracting opposing forces.
- Unbalanced forces cause motion (e.g., a thrown baseball).
Displacement, Velocity and Speed
- Displacement is the difference between an object's starting and ending points.
- Displacement's SI unit is the meter.
- Velocity, acceleration, and displacement are vectors.
- Speed is calculated from distance and time.
- Velocity combines speed and direction.
Graphs and Motion
- Steeper slopes on distance-time graphs mean faster speeds.
- Velocity equals speed in linear motion.
- The moon orbits Earth at a constant speed with changing direction.
- Distance vs. time graphs display object speed.
- Flat lines on a distance/time graph indicate no movement (stationary).
Energy and Motion
- Heat transfers from hot to cold objects.
- Convection occurs when warm air rises and cool air sinks.
- Radiation is heat transfer without a medium.
- Conduction involves heat transfer through direct contact.
- Particles speed up when heated and slow down when cooled.
- Heat causes particles to move farther apart.
- Rubbing hands together creates friction, converting mechanical energy into thermal energy.
- A car engine transforms chemical energy from fuel into thermal energy, which then transforms to mechanical energy.
- Temperature increases due to increased particle motion.
