Study Notes

Unit Conversion

0.45 liters is equivalent to 450 milliliters

Average Velocity

Average velocity can be calculated using:
- distance traveled divided by elapsed time
- change in position divided by change in time

Average Speed

Average speed can be calculated by dividing total distance traveled by elapsed time

Acceleration

Acceleration can be calculated using:
- final velocity minus initial velocity divided by change in time

Constant Acceleration

Constant acceleration is also known as uniformly accelerated motion

Free Falling Bodies

Velocity is affected by gravity
- v = gt
- h = (1/2)gt^2
Time of fall can be calculated using:
- t = √(2h/g)
Velocity of fall can be calculated using:
- v = √(2gh)

Newton's Laws of Motion

Newton's second law of motion:
- Force equals mass times acceleration
Acceleration can be calculated using:
- force divided by mass
Mass can be calculated using:
- force divided by acceleration

Gravitational Force

Gravitational force can be calculated by:
- mass times gravity

Normal Force

Normal force is the force exerted by a surface on an object in contact with it.
The normal force can be calculated by:
- mass times the sum of gravity and vertical acceleration

Coefficient of Friction

Friction is a force that opposes motion
Static friction is the force that must be overcome to start motion
Kinetic friction is the force that opposes motion when an object is moving

Tension

Tension is the force exerted along the length of a stretched cable or rope

Newton's Second Law Applied

Newton's second law of motion can be applied to a scenario involving applied force, frictional force, and the resulting acceleration
- Applied force minus frictional force equals mass times acceleration

Two Equation in Two Unknowns

The two formulas for the tension and acceleration of two objects connected by a rope can be used to solve for the acceleration of the system.
- Acceleration = (mass of heavier object * gravity) / (mass of heavier object + mass of lighter object)
