Study Notes
Math Fundamentals
- Memorize prefixes and powers of ten to easily manipulate numbers
- Long division and fractions are essential skills
- Knowing times tables up to 15 x 15 and factoring makes calculations easier
- Factoring means thinking backwards
- Rounding and estimation can be used to solve simpler problems
Oscillation and Vibration
- Oscillation or vibration is the back-and-forth motion of an object around its equilibrium position
- Examples of oscillating systems include lunar tides, tuning forks, strings in musical instruments, pendulums, and mass-and-spring systems
- Bulk modulus (B) is used for more bulky, shapeless objects, while speed of sound (c or v) depends on elasticity modulus of the medium (K) and density of the medium (ρ)
Speed of Sound
- The speed of sound in a medium is calculated by: c = √K/ρ
- K is the elasticity modulus of the medium in N/m2 (or Pascal)
- ρ is the density of the medium in kg/m3
- Example calculation: c = √(200 GPa)/(7700 kg/m3) = 5096.47 m/s
Elasticity
- Elasticity is the ratio of stress to strain
- It is a property of matter, not a restoring force
- Index of Elasticity (elasticity modulus, K) is the ratio of applied pressure change to the resulting fractional change in length (linear objects) or volume (bulky objects)
- Young's modulus (E) is used for linear objects, such as rods, columns, and wires
