Study Notes
Work and Energy
- Work (W): The product of force (F) and displacement (ds) in the direction of the force. W = F ⋅ ds. If the force is constant, W = Fd cosθ, where 'd' is the displacement magnitude and θ is the angle between the force and displacement vectors.
- Work-Energy Theorem: The net work done on an object is equal to the change in its kinetic energy (KE). W = ΔKE.
- Kinetic Energy (KE): The energy of motion, calculated as KE = 1/2mv².
- Potential Energy (PE): The energy stored in an object due to its position or configuration. PE = mgh, where 'm' is mass, 'g' is acceleration due to gravity, and 'h' is height.
- Conservation of Energy: Total energy (KE + PE) remains constant in a closed system. Therefore, ΔPE = -ΔKE.
- Principle of Work: The work done by a force on an object is equal to the change in the object's kinetic energy, plus any potential energy involved.
Collisions and Impulse
- Impulse (I): The product of force (F) and time (Δt) during which the force acts. I = FΔt. For constant force, I = F⋅Δt.
- Impulse-Momentum Theorem: The impulse acting on an object is equal to the change in its momentum. I = Δp.
- Momentum (p): The product of mass (m) and velocity (v). p = mv.
- Conservation of Momentum: Total momentum remains constant in a closed system. m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = m₁v₁ + m₂v₂ (for two objects).
- Coefficient of Restitution (e): A measure of the elasticity of a collision. e = |(v₂ - v₁)/(u₁ - u₂)|, where (v₂ - v₁) is the relative velocity after collision, and (u₁ - u₂) is the relative velocity before collision.
- Direct Collision: Collisions happen along the line joining the centers of colliding objects.
- Oblique Collision: Collisions occurring at an angle to the line connecting the centers of the objects.
- Perfectly Elastic Collisions: Collisions where kinetic energy is conserved. e=1
- Inelastic Collisions: Collisions where some kinetic energy is lost. 0<e<1.
