Study Notes
Acceleration and Velocity
- Acceleration is defined by the formula ( a = \frac{Δv}{t} ).
- Instantaneous velocity is expressed as ( v_x = v_0 + at ).
Displacement and Motion
- Displacement can be calculated using the equation ( Δd = v_0t + \frac{1}{2}at^2 ).
- For velocity without time, use ( v_x^2 = v_0^2 + 2aΔd ).
Forces and Friction
- Newton’s second law states ( a = \frac{F}{m} ), relating force, mass, and acceleration.
- Friction is given by ( f = μN ), where ( μ ) is the coefficient of friction and ( N ) is the normal force.
Momentum and Energy
- Momentum is defined as ( p = mv ).
- Impulse, representing the change in momentum, can be calculated by ( Δp = Ft ) or ( Δp = mΔv ).
- The linear kinetic energy formula is ( K = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 ).
Work and Power
- The work-energy theorem states ( ΔE = W ), highlighting the relationship between work and energy.
- Work can be calculated as ( W = Fd \cos(θ) ).
- General power is expressed as ( P = \frac{ΔE}{t} ) and mechanical power as ( P = \frac{W}{t} ).
Rotational Motion
- Rotational displacement is given by ( θ = θ_0 + ω_0t + \frac{1}{2}αt^2 ).

- The period with frequency is ( T = \frac{1}{f} ).
- The period of a spring is given by ( T_s = 2π\sqrt{\frac{m}{k}} ) and for a pendulum, ( T_p = 2π\sqrt{\frac{l}{g}} ).
Universal Gravitation
- Newton's law of universal gravitation is expressed as ( F_g = \frac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2} ).
