Study Notes

Newton's Laws

Newton's First Law: An object at rest stays at rest, and an object in motion stays in motion with constant velocity (in magnitude and direction) if no net force acts on it.
Newton's Second Law: The net force acting on an object is equal to the product of its mass and acceleration.
- ΣF = ma
- Acceleration's direction is the same as the net force's direction.
- Component form: ΣFx = max, ΣFy = may, ΣFz = maz

Newton's Third Law

Newton's Third Law: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. If an object exerts a force on a second object, the second object exerts an equal but opposite force on the first object.

Friction

Friction: When surfaces slide over each other, each exerts a frictional force parallel to the surfaces. This force opposes the relative motion.
Self-Adjusting Force: Friction can adjust its magnitude to any value between zero and the maximum limiting value.
- 0 ≤ f ≤ fmax
Types of Friction:
- Static friction (fs): Acts when there's no relative motion.
  - fs ≤ μsN, where μs is the coefficient of static friction and N is the normal force.
- Kinetic friction (fk): Acts when there is relative motion.
  - fk = μkN, where μk is the coefficient of kinetic friction and N is the normal force.

Laws of Friction

Limiting Friction: The maximum force of friction, proportional to the normal force, and independent of the contact area.
- fmax = μN

Properties of Friction

Static Friction at Rest: If a body's at rest, static friction is parallel to the surface and equal in magnitude to the external force. If the external force increases, then static friction increases.
Maximum Static Friction: The maximum value of static friction is given by:
- fs(max) = μsN (μs is the coefficient of static friction, N is the magnitude of the normal force)
Static to Kinetic: If the external force is greater than fs(max), the body begins to slide, and kinetic friction takes over.
Kinetic Friction: The magnitude of kinetic friction is constant fk = μkN (μk is the coefficient of kinetic friction)

Angle of Repose

Angle of Repose: The minimum angle of inclination of an inclined plane at which a body placed on it begins to slide down.
Mathematical Relation: tan ø = μs ( ø is the angle of repose, μs is the coefficient of static friction)

Centripetal Force

Centripetal Acceleration: A particle moving in a circular path at constant speed experiences a centripetal acceleration that's directed towards the center of the circle: ac = v^2/r.
Tangential Acceleration: If there's angular acceleration, the particle's speed changes, leading to a tangential acceleration at: at = αr
- The net acceleration is the vector sum of centripetal and tangential accelerations.
