Study Notes

Rotational Equilibrium and Rotational Dynamics

The relation between radians and degrees is: (θ_radians) = (180/π) θ_degrees
Angular position (θ) describes the body's rotational position.
Angular velocity (ω) is the rate of change of an angle: Δω = Δθ/Δt
Angular acceleration (α) is the change in angular velocity per unit of time: Δα = Δω/Δt
A full rotation is 360 degrees.
Key rotational kinematic equations:
- θ = ω₀t + ½ αt² (constant α)
- ω = ω₀ + αt (constant α)
- ω² = ω₀² + 2αθ

Rigid Body

A solid composed of particles that remain static relative to each other, and the axis of rotation.
It maintains its original shape and size regardless of external forces.
Newton's first law on rotating bodies: A rotating body will maintain its rate of rotation around a fixed axis unless affected by an external influence.

Torque

The torque (τ) is perpendicular to the position vector (r) and force vector (F).
The magnitude of torque is given by |τ| = rFsinθ.
The SI unit of torque is N⋅m.
A positive torque causes counter-clockwise rotation, while a negative torque causes clockwise rotation.

Moment of Inertia

Moment of inertia (I) impedes changes in an object's rotational state of motion.
I = mr², where m is the mass and r is the distance from the rotation axis.
A larger moment of inertia makes it harder to change the state of motion of a rigid body.
Angular momentum (L) = Iω

Static Equilibrium

A rigid body is in equilibrium when ΣF = 0 and Στ = 0
A body at rest is in static equilibrium.

Gravitation and Satellite Motion

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = GM/r²
Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation: Fg = Gm₁m₂/r²
Gravitational Field: GM/r²
Gravitational Potential Energy (Ug) = -Gm₁m₂/r

Kepler's Laws

Kepler's three laws describe planetary motion.
The law of ellipses: Planets orbit the sun in elliptical paths, with the sun at one focus.
The law of equal areas: An imaginary line connecting a planet to the sun sweeps out equal areas during equal intervals of time.
The law of periods: The square of the orbital period of a planet is proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis of its orbit.

Centripetal Force and Acceleration of Satellite

The net centripetal force (F_net) for a satellite in circular motion is equal to the gravitational force (F_grav).
The acceleration (a_central) of the satellite is equal to the gravitational acceleration at the location it is orbiting

Orbital Period Equation

The orbital period (T) of a given satellite is related to the semi-major axis of its orbit (r). This relation involves the gravitational constant(G) and the central body's mass(M).

Periodic Motion and Simple Harmonic Motion

Periodic motion repeats at regular intervals following a certain path.
Oscillatory motion is periodic back-and-forth motion.
Frequency (f) is the number of repetitions per unit time (Hertz).
Angular frequency (ω) is the rate of change of an angular quantity (radians/second).
The relation between frequency and period is T = 1/f.
Simple harmonic motion (SHM): An object oscillates between two endpoints with restoring forces proportional to its displacement.
Amplitude (A) is the maximum displacement from the equilibrium position.
Period (T) is the time for one complete cycle.

Damping

Damping is the dissipation of energy during oscillations, causing decreasing amplitude.
Underdamping oscillates and gradually decreases in amplitude.
Critical damping returns to equilibrium without oscillation.
Overdamping returns to equilibrium slowly without oscillation.

Waves

A wave is a disturbance that propagates energy from one place to another without transporting matter.
Mechanical Waves require a medium to propagate.
Electromagnetic Waves do not require a medium to propagate.
Transverse Waves: Particles vibrate perpendicular to the wave's direction of travel.
Longitudinal Waves: Particles vibrate parallel to the wave's direction of travel.
Wave Pulse: A single, isolated disturbance.

Wave Number

Wave number (k) relates to the wavelength of a wave (λ). k = 2π / λ

Sound Waves

Sound is a longitudinal wave that travels through a medium.
Audible waves are in the human hearing range (20 - 20,000 Hz).
Infrasonic waves have frequencies below the audible range.
Ultrasonic waves have frequencies above the audible range.
Intensity (I) is the average rate of energy transfer per unit area. Sound level (β) is in decibels.

Interference

Interference occurs when multiple waves overlap along the same medium.
Constructive interference: displacements in the same direction combine to increase the amplitude.
Destructive interference: displacements in opposite directions combine to decrease the amplitude.
Nodes: points where displacements are zero.
Antinodes: points where displacements reach maximum.

Doppler Effect

The change in the observed frequency of a wave when the source or the detector moves relative to the transmission medium.

Fluid Mechanics

Density (ρ) is mass per unit volume (m/V).
Pressure (P) is force per unit area (F/A).
Pressure in a liquid increases with depth: P = P₀ + pgh, where P₀ is atmospheric pressure.
Specific gravity is the ratio of the density of a material to the density of a standard substance.
Pascal's Principle: Pressure applied to a confined fluid is transmitted equally to every point in the fluid.
Archimedes' Principle: An immersed body experiences an upward buoyant force equal to the weight of the displaced fluid.
Bernoulli's Principle: Fluid speed increases, pressure decreases.

Temperature and Heat Transfer

Temperature measures the hotness or coldness of an object.
Fahrenheit, Celsius, and Kelvin are common temperature scales.
The zeroth law of thermodynamics states that objects at the same temperature are in thermal equilibrium.
Temperature scales differ in their zero point and unit size.

Thermal Expansion

Linear expansion (ΔL) = αL₀ΔT, where α is the coefficient of linear expansion.
Volume expansion (ΔV) = βV₀ΔT, where β is the coefficient of volume expansion.

Heat Transfer

Conduction is heat transfer through direct contact.
Convection is heat transfer by the movement of a fluid.
Radiation: heat transfer by electromagnetic waves.
Thermal conductors allow heat transfer.
Thermal insulators prevent heat transfer.
