Study Notes

Rotational Motion (Momentum)

Rotational motion, also called angular motion, describes the motion of objects in a circular path.
Uniform circular motion refers to objects moving at a constant speed in a circle.
Angular displacement (θ) is the angle swept out by the radius to the object, measured in radians (rad).
Angular velocity (ω) is the rate of change of angular displacement, measured in radians per second (rad/s).
Angular acceleration (α) is the rate of change of angular velocity, measured in radians per second squared (rad/s²).
Counterclockwise motion is typically considered positive, while clockwise is negative.

Rotational Dynamics

Torque (τ) is a measure of the force's ability to cause rotation.
Torque is calculated as the product of force (F) and the lever arm (r): τ = F * r
Torque is a vector quantity, and its direction is determined by the cross product of force and lever arm.
Torque is positive for counterclockwise rotation and negative for clockwise rotation.
Static equilibrium occurs when an object is at rest, not rotating or translating.

Angular Momentum

Angular momentum is a quantity that describes how difficult it is to change the rotational motion of a spinning body.
It is relevant for single particles with known momentum.

Gravity

Gravitational force is the force of attraction between two objects.
Newton's Law of Gravitation describes the force of attraction between two bodies.
The constant in Newton's Law of Gravitation (G) is approximately 6.674 x 10⁻¹¹ N m²/kg².

Orbits

The only force acting on a satellite in a circular orbit is the gravitational attraction of the Earth.
Satellites are constantly falling around the Earth.
Kepler's Laws of Planetary Motion describe the motion of planets around the sun.
The first law states that planets move in elliptical orbits with the sun at one focus.
The second law describes that a line connecting a planet to the sun sweeps out equal areas in equal intervals of time.
The third law relates the orbital period of a planet to its distance from the sun.

Mechanical Waves

An oscillation or vibration is a "wiggle" over time.
Damped harmonic oscillations have amplitude that decreases over time.
Under damped oscillation – amplitude decreases until it becomes 0.
Critically and overdamped oscillation – return to equilibrium without oscillation
Mechanical waves require a medium to propagate (travel through).
Types of Mechanical Waves:
- Transverse waves: Particle motion is perpendicular to wave direction.
- Longitudinal waves: Particle motion is parallel to wave direction.

Sound Waves

Sound waves are longitudinal waves.
Sound frequency is the detectable range.
- Audible range, ultrasonic frequencies, and infrasonic frequencies.
Pitch is how high or low a sound is perceived; it relates to frequency.
Loudness is related to the pressure amplitude.
Timbre or tone color is how different sounds are perceived – which object made the sound.
Doppler effect is the change in the frequency of sound as a source and observer move relative to each other.

Fluid Mechanics

Fluids include liquids and gases.
Density (ρ) is the mass per unit volume (kg/m³).
Pressure is the force per unit area (Pa).
Pascal's Principle – pressure applied to a confined fluid is transmitted equally throughout the fluid.
Archimedes' Principle – buoyant force on a submerged object is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced.
Bernoulli's Principle – faster-moving fluid exerts less pressure.

Temperature

Temperature is a measure of the hotness or coldness of an object.
Common temperature scales include Celsius (°C), Fahrenheit (°F), and Kelvin (K).
Thermal expansion is the change in an object's size due to a temperature change.
Heat transfer mechanisms are conduction, convection, and radiation.
An isolated system does not exchange energy or mass with its surroundings.

Laws of Thermodynamics

The first law of thermodynamics is the law of conservation of energy.
Heat can be converted into work and work into heat.
The second law of thermodynamics limits the amount of work that can be obtained from heat.
- Kelvin-Planck statement, Clausius statement, and entropy statement.
Heat engines convert heat into work.
Internal combustion engines and external combustion engines.
