Study Notes
Physics Concepts and Applications
- Net Force: The magnitude of the net force acting on an object is the sum of all forces acting on it.
- Acceleration: Negative acceleration occurs when an object slows down.
- Projectile Motion: The distance traveled by a projectile launched at an angle depends on its initial speed and launch angle.
- Springs: The spring constant k is a measure of a spring's stiffness, indicating the force required to stretch or compress it by a unit length.
- Newton's Second Law: The net force acting on an object is equal to the product of its mass and acceleration: F = ma.
- Weight vs. Apparent Weight: Weight is the force due to gravity, while apparent weight is the force experienced by an object supported against gravity.
- Friction: Friction is a force opposing motion between two surfaces in contact. Kinetic friction acts on objects in motion.
- Terminal Velocity: Terminal velocity is the constant speed that a freely falling object eventually reaches when the force of air resistance balances its weight.
- Work-Energy Theorem: The work done on an object is equal to its change in kinetic energy: W = ΔKE
- Tension: Tension is the force exerted by a stretched rope or cable.
- Newton's Laws of Motion: The motion of the blocks hanging one under the other is described by Newton's second law, considering the forces acting on each block.
