    Study Notes

    Mechanics

    Kinematics

    • Study of motion without considering forces
    • Descriptive quantities:
      • Position (x)
      • Displacement (Δx)
      • Velocity (v)
      • Acceleration (a)
    • Kinematic equations:
      • v = Δx / Δt
      • a = Δv / Δt
      • x = x0 + v0t + (1/2)at^2

    Dynamics

    • Study of motion considering forces
    • Newton's Laws:
      1. First Law (Inertia): An object at rest remains at rest, and an object in motion remains in motion, unless acted upon by an external force.
      2. Second Law (Force and Acceleration): F = ma (Force equals mass times acceleration)
      3. Third Law (Action and Reaction): For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction

    Work and Energy

    • Work: W = F × d (Force times displacement)
    • Kinetic Energy: KE = (1/2)mv^2 (Energy of motion)
    • Potential Energy: PE = mgh (Energy of position)
    • Conservation of Energy: The total energy of a closed system remains constant (KE + PE = constant)

    Momentum

    • Linear Momentum: p = mv (Mass times velocity)
    • Conservation of Momentum: The total momentum of a closed system remains constant (p = constant)

    Rotational Motion

    • Angular Displacement: Δθ (Change in angular position)
    • Angular Velocity: ω = Δθ / Δt (Angular velocity)
    • Angular Acceleration: α = Δω / Δt (Angular acceleration)
    • Torque: τ = r × F (Rotational force)

    Mechanics

    Kinematics

    • The study of motion without considering forces, focusing on descriptive quantities such as position, displacement, velocity, and acceleration.
    • Position (x) is a measure of an object's location, while displacement (Δx) is the change in position.
    • Velocity (v) is the rate of change of position, and acceleration (a) is the rate of change of velocity.
    • Kinematic equations describe the relationships between these quantities, including v = Δx / Δt, a = Δv / Δt, and x = x0 + v0t + (1/2)at^2.

    Dynamics

    • The study of motion considering forces, based on Newton's Laws.
    • The First Law (Inertia) states that an object at rest remains at rest, and an object in motion remains in motion, unless acted upon by an external force.
    • The Second Law (Force and Acceleration) states that force (F) equals mass (m) times acceleration (a), or F = ma.
    • The Third Law (Action and Reaction) states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

    Work and Energy

    • Work is the product of force and displacement, or W = F × d.
    • Kinetic Energy is the energy of motion, given by KE = (1/2)mv^2, where m is mass and v is velocity.
    • Potential Energy is the energy of position, given by PE = mgh, where m is mass, g is gravity, and h is height.
    • The Conservation of Energy states that the total energy of a closed system remains constant, with kinetic energy and potential energy being interchangeable.

    Momentum

    • Linear Momentum is the product of mass and velocity, or p = mv.
    • The Conservation of Momentum states that the total momentum of a closed system remains constant, with momentum being conserved in collisions.

    Rotational Motion

    • Angular Displacement is the change in angular position, or Δθ.
    • Angular Velocity is the rate of change of angular displacement, or ω = Δθ / Δt.
    • Angular Acceleration is the rate of change of angular velocity, or α = Δω / Δt.
    • Torque is the rotational force that causes angular acceleration, or τ = r × F.
