Study Notes

Projectile Motion

  • Definition: The motion of an object under the influence of gravity, where the object follows a curved path.
  • Key factors:
    • Initial velocity ( speed and direction)
    • Angle of projection
    • Gravity ( acceleration due to gravity, 9.8m/s^2)
  • Types of projectiles:
    • Horizontal projection (e.g., throwing a ball horizontally)
    • Oblique projection (e.g., kicking a ball at an angle)
    • Vertical projection (e.g., throwing a ball straight up)
  • Characteristics:
    • Time of flight
    • Range (maximum horizontal distance)
    • Maximum height

Force and Acceleration

  • Newton's Second Law:
    • F = ma (Force = mass x acceleration)
    • The force applied to an object is equal to the mass of the object multiplied by its acceleration
  • Types of forces:
    • Contact forces (e.g., friction, tension)
    • Non-contact forces (e.g., gravity, air resistance)
  • Acceleration:
    • The rate of change of velocity
    • Can be positive (increasing velocity) or negative (decreasing velocity)
  • Relationship between force and acceleration:
    • The greater the force, the greater the acceleration
    • The greater the mass, the less the acceleration

Torque and Moment of Force

  • Torque (τ):
    • A measure of the rotational force that causes an object to rotate
    • τ = r x F (Torque = distance from axis of rotation x force)
  • Moment of force:
    • The turning effect of a force around a pivot point
    • Depends on the force, distance from the pivot point, and angle of application
  • Types of torques:
    • Clockwise torque (positive)
    • Counterclockwise torque (negative)

Angular Velocity and Displacement

  • Angular velocity (ω):
    • The rate of change of angular displacement
    • Measured in radians per second (rad/s)
  • Angular displacement (θ):
    • The angle through which an object rotates
    • Measured in radians (rad)
  • Relationship between angular velocity and displacement:
    • ω = Δθ / Δt (Angular velocity = change in angular displacement / time)
  • Types of angular motion:
    • Rotational motion (e.g., spinning, rotating)
    • Revolving motion (e.g., orbiting, revolving around a point)
