Study Notes
Kinematics
- Study of motion without considering forces
- Describes motion in terms of:
- Displacement (distance from starting point)
- Velocity (rate of change of displacement)
- Acceleration (rate of change of velocity)
- Key concepts:
- Position-time graphs
- Velocity-time graphs
- Acceleration-time graphs
- Equations of motion:
- v = u + at
- s = ut + 0.5at^2
- v^2 = u^2 + 2as
Dynamics
- Study of motion considering forces
- Forces:
- Contact forces (normal force, friction, tension)
- Non-contact forces (gravity, electromagnetic)
- Newton's Laws:
- First Law (Inertia): An object at rest remains at rest, an object in motion remains in motion, unless acted upon by an external force.
- Second Law (F = ma): Force is equal to the mass of an object multiplied by its acceleration.
- Third Law (Action-Reaction): For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
Energy and Work
- Energy:
- Kinetic energy (KE = 0.5mv^2)
- Potential energy (PE = mgh)
- Work:
- Done by a force on an object
- Calculated by W = F × d
- Unit: Joule (J)
Momentum
- Product of an object's mass and velocity
- Calculated by p = mv
- Conservation of momentum:
- In closed systems, total momentum remains constant
- Momentum is transferred from one object to another during collisions
Rotational Motion
- Rotational kinematics:
- Angular displacement (θ)
- Angular velocity (ω)
- Angular acceleration (α)
- Rotational dynamics:
- Torque (τ = r × F)
- Rotational kinetic energy (KE = 0.5Iω^2)
- Rotational inertia (I)
Oscillations and Vibrations
- Simple harmonic motion (SHM):
- Periodic motion with constant acceleration
- Examples: pendulum, spring-mass system
- Damped oscillations:
- SHM with energy loss due to friction
- Amplitude decreases with time
Kinematics
- Study of motion without considering forces
- Describes motion in terms of:
- Displacement (distance from starting point)
- Velocity (rate of change of displacement)
- Acceleration (rate of change of velocity)
- Key concepts:
- Position-time graphs: show the position of an object at different times
- Velocity-time graphs: show the velocity of an object at different times
- Acceleration-time graphs: show the acceleration of an object at different times
- Equations of motion:
- v = u + at: relates initial and final velocities, acceleration, and time
- s = ut + 0.5at^2: relates displacement, initial velocity, acceleration, and time
- v^2 = u^2 + 2as: relates initial and final velocities, acceleration, and displacement
Dynamics
- Study of motion considering forces
- Forces:
- Contact forces: normal force, friction, tension
- Non-contact forces: gravity, electromagnetic
- Newton's Laws:
- First Law (Inertia): an object maintains its state of motion unless acted upon by an external force
- Second Law (F = ma): force is proportional to the mass of an object and its acceleration
- Third Law (Action-Reaction): every action has an equal and opposite reaction
Energy and Work
- Energy:
- Kinetic energy (KE = 0.5mv^2): energy of motion
- Potential energy (PE = mgh): energy of position
- Work:
- Done by a force on an object, causing its displacement
- Calculated by W = F × d, measured in Joules (J)
Momentum
- Product of an object's mass and velocity (p = mv)
- Conservation of momentum:
- In closed systems, total momentum remains constant
- Momentum is transferred from one object to another during collisions
Rotational Motion
- Rotational kinematics:
- Angular displacement (θ): angle of rotation
- Angular velocity (ω): rate of change of angular displacement
- Angular acceleration (α): rate of change of angular velocity
- Rotational dynamics:
- Torque (τ = r × F): rotational force that causes angular acceleration
- Rotational kinetic energy (KE = 0.5Iω^2): energy of rotational motion
- Rotational inertia (I): measures an object's resistance to rotational motion
Oscillations and Vibrations
- Simple harmonic motion (SHM):
- Periodic motion with constant acceleration
- Examples: pendulum, spring-mass system
- Damped oscillations:
- SHM with energy loss due to friction
