Study Notes
Inertia and Mass
- Inertia: the tendency of an object to resist changes in its motion
- Mass: a measure of an object's resistance to changes in its motion
- Inertial Mass: the measure of an object's resistance to acceleration
- Gravitational Mass: the measure of an object's response to gravity
Force and Acceleration
- Force: a push or pull that causes an object to change its motion
- Acceleration: the rate of change of velocity
- Newton's Second Law: F = ma (force equals mass times acceleration)
- Units of Force: Newtons (N) = kg·m/s²
Frictional Forces
- Friction: a force that opposes motion between two surfaces in contact
- Static Friction: the force that prevents an object from moving when a force is applied
- Kinetic Friction: the force that opposes motion between two surfaces in contact
-
Types of Friction:
- Static Friction: prevents motion
- Kinetic Friction: opposes motion
- Rolling Friction: opposes rolling motion
- Fluid Friction: opposes motion through a fluid (e.g. air, water)
Gravity
- Gravity: a force that attracts two objects with mass towards each other
- Universal Gravitation: every point mass attracts every other point mass by a force acting along the line intersecting both points
- Gravitational Force: F = G * (m₁ * m₂) / r² (Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation)
Motion
-
Types of Motion:
- Translational Motion: motion in a straight line
- Rotational Motion: motion around a fixed axis
- Circular Motion: motion in a circular path
- Displacement: the distance an object travels from its initial to its final position
- Velocity: the rate of change of displacement
- Acceleration: the rate of change of velocity
Inertia and Mass
- Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its motion.
- Mass is a measure of an object's resistance to changes in its motion.
- Inertial mass measures an object's resistance to acceleration.
- Gravitational mass measures an object's response to gravity.
Force and Acceleration
- Force is a push or pull that causes an object to change its motion.
- Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity.
- Newton's Second Law states that force equals mass times acceleration (F = ma).
- The unit of force is Newtons (N), which is equivalent to kg·m/s².
Frictional Forces
- Friction is a force that opposes motion between two surfaces in contact.
- Static friction prevents an object from moving when a force is applied.
- Kinetic friction opposes motion between two surfaces in contact.
- There are four types of friction: static friction, kinetic friction, rolling friction, and fluid friction.
Gravity
- Gravity is a force that attracts two objects with mass towards each other.
- Universal Gravitation states that every point mass attracts every other point mass by a force acting along the line intersecting both points.
- The gravitational force is calculated by Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation (F = G * (m₁ * m₂) / r²).
Motion
- There are three types of motion: translational motion, rotational motion, and circular motion.
- Displacement is the distance an object travels from its initial to its final position.
- Velocity is the rate of change of displacement.
- Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity.
