Study Notes
Física
Trabalho
- Trabalho ($W$) é definido como a força ($\vec{F}$) aplicada sobre um objeto, resultando em um deslocamento ($\Delta \vec{r}$).
- Fórmula para trabalho realizado por uma força constante: $W = \vec{F} \cdot \Delta \vec{r} = F \Delta r \cos \theta$.
- $W$ é medido em Joules.
- $F$ é a magnitude da força em Newtons.
- $\Delta r$ é a magnitude do deslocamento em metros.
- $\theta$ é o ângulo entre a força e o deslocamento.
- Para forças não constantes ou caminhos não retos, usa-se a integral de linha para calcular o trabalho: $W = \int_{C} \vec{F} \cdot d\vec{r}$.
Energia Cinética
- Energia cinética ($K$) é a energia que um objeto possui devido ao seu movimento.
- A energia cinética de um objeto com massa $m$ e velocidade $v$ é $K = \frac{1}{2}mv^2$.
Teorema do Trabalho-Energia
- O trabalho total realizado sobre um objeto é igual à variação de sua energia cinética: $W_{total} = \Delta K = K_f - K_i = \frac{1}{2}mv_f^2 - \frac{1}{2}mv_i^2$.
Potência
- Potência ($P$) é a taxa na qual o trabalho é realizado, medido em Watts.
- Fórmula geral: $P = \frac{dW}{dt}$.
- Para uma força constante, a potência pode ser expressa como $P = \vec{F} \cdot \vec{v}$.
Energia Potencial Gravitacional
- Energia potencial gravitacional ($U_g$) é dada por $U_g = mgh$, onde $m$ é a massa, $g$ é a aceleração da gravidade, e $h$ é a altura.
Energia Potencial Elástica
- Energia potencial elástica ($U_e$) armazenada em uma mola é $U_e = \frac{1}{2}kx^2$, onde $k$ é a constante da mola e $x$ é o deslocamento da mola.
Forças Conservativas
- Forças conservativas são aquelas cujo trabalho realizado independe do caminho percorrido.
Energia Mecânica
- A energia mecânica total ($E$) é a soma da energia cinética ($K$) e potencial ($U$): $E = K + U$.
- Se apenas forças conservativas atuam, a energia mecânica total é conservada: $E_i = E_f$, ou $K_i + U_i = K_f + U_f$.
Forças Não Conservativas
- Se forças não conservativas atuam (como atrito), a energia mecânica não é conservada.
- O trabalho realizado pelas forças não conservativas é $W_{nc} = \Delta E = E_f - E_i$.
Algorithmic Game Theory
Game Theory Definition
- Game theory studies mathematical models of strategic interactions among rational agents.
- Game theory can be applied to social science, logic, systems science and computer science.
Selfish Routing
- Selfish routing is defined by a network of $n$ agents who want to route traffic from a source to a destination.
- A graph $G = (V, E)$ represents the network.
- Each edge $e \in E$ has a cost function $c_e(x)$ related to traffice on the edge.
- Each agent tries to minimize its personal cost acting selfishly.
Braess's Paradox
- Braess's Paradox is an example where adding an edge to a network can increase the total cost due to selfish routing.
- In the example with a network of 4 nodes and 5 edges, after adding an edge from A to B with cost 0, the total cost increased from 3 to 4.
Price of Anarchy (PoA)
- Social cost is the total cost incurred by all players in a game.
- Nash Equilibrium is a set of strategies, one for each player, where no player benefit from unilaterally changing their strategy.
- Price of Anarchy measures the degradation of the system's performance due to selfishness.
- $PoA = \frac{\text{Social Cost of Worst Nash Equilibrium}}{\text{Social Optimum}}$
Static Equilibrium
Introduction
- An object is in static equilibrium when both the net force and the net torque on the object are zero.
- Static equilibrium means the object is not accelerating linearly or rotationally.
- The equations of static equilibirum are:
- Net Force: $\sum \vec{F} = 0$
- Net Torque: $\sum \vec{\tau} = 0$
- In two dimensions, these equations can be written as
- $\sum F_x = 0$
- $\sum F_y = 0$
- $\sum \tau_z = 0$, where the z-axis is perpendicular to the plane in which the forces act.
Example 1
- A beam supported by two ropes is in static equilibirum.
- The goal is to calculate the tensions in the two ropes, $T_1$ and $T_2$.
- The equations used to solve for tension include:
- $\sum F_y = 0$: $T_1 + T_2 - W = 0$
- $\sum \tau_z = 0$:$-W \cdot \frac{L}{2} + T_2 \cdot \frac{3L}{4} = 0$
- For this example the tensions are:
- $T_2 = \frac{2}{3}W$
- $T_1 = \frac{1}{3}W$
Example 2
- A uniform ladder leaning against a smooth wall in static equilibrium.
- The goal is to calculate the minimum angle the ladder can have with the horizontal without slipping.
- Important parameters to know in this problem are:
- $N_1$ - the normal force exerted by the wall on the ladder
- $N_2$ - the normal force exerted by the ground on the ladder
- $f_s$ - the force of static friction between the ladder and the ground
- $f_s \le \mu_s N_2 = \mu_s W$
- The minimum angle occurs when $\theta \ge \tan^{-1}(\frac{1}{2\mu_s})$

Chemical Kinetics
Definition
- Chemical kinetics studies the rates of chemical processes.
Factors Affecting Reaction Rates
- Reactant Concentration: Higher concentration increases reaction rate due to more frequent collisions.
- Physical State and Surface Area: Reactions between different phases are limited by the contact area.
- Temperature: Higher temperature increases reaction rate by increasing collision frequency and energy.
- Presence of a Catalyst: Catalysts speed up reactions by lowering activation energy, without being consumed.
Reaction Rate
- General Reaction Formula: For the reaction $aA + bB \rightarrow cC + dD$, the rate of reaction can be expressed as: $-\frac{1}{a}\frac{d[A]}{dt} = -\frac{1}{b}\frac{d[B]}{dt} = \frac{1}{c}\frac{d[C]}{dt} = \frac{1}{d}\frac{d[D]}{dt}$
Rate Law
- Rate Law Definition: An equation that relates the rate of a reaction to the concentrations of reactants and catalysts.
- General Rate Law: $rate = k[A]^m[B]^n$
- where:
- $k$ is the rate constant
- $m$ is the order of reaction with respect to reactant A
- $n$ is the order of reaction with respect to the reactant B
- the overall reaction order is $m+n$
- where:
Determining Reaction Order
- The reaction order must be calculated, not guessed
Integrated Rate Laws
- Integrated rate laws relate reactant concentration to time.
- Zero-Order: $[A]_t = -kt + [A]_0$
- First-Order: $ln[A]_t = -kt + ln[A]_0$
- Second-Order: $\frac{1}{[A]_t} = kt + \frac{1}{[A]_0}$
- where: -$[A]_t$ is the concentration of A at time t -$[A]_0$ is the initial concentration of A -$k$ is the rate constant
Half-Life
- The half-life ($t_{1/2}$) of a reaction is the time required for the concentration of a reactant to decrease to one-half of its initial value.
Integrated Rate Law Formulas
- Zero-Order: $t_{1/2} = \frac{[A]_0}{2k}$
- First-Order: $t_{1/2} = \frac{0.693}{k}$
- Second-Order: $t_{1/2} = \frac{1}{k[A]_0}$
Reaction Mechanisms
- A reaction mechanism is the step-by-step sequence of elementary reactions by which overall chemical change occurs.
- Elementary Reactions are reactions that occur in a single step.
- Rate-Determining Step is the slowest step in a reaction mechanism, it determines the overall rate of the reaction.
- Intermediates are species that are produced in one step of a reaction mechanism and consumed in a subsequent step.
Collision Theory
- Collision theory states that chemical reactions occur when reactant molecules collide with sufficient energy and proper orientation.
- Activation Energy ($E_a$): The minimum energy required for a reaction to occur.
Arrhenius Equation
- Relates the rate constant of a reaction to the activation energy and temperature.
- Formula: $k = Ae^{-\frac{E_a}{RT}}$
Fourier Transform Properties

Time Scaling
- Adjusts the signal's time scale, affecting its frequency spectrum.
- $F{f(at)} = \frac{1}{|a|}F(\frac{\omega}{a})$
Time Shifting

- $F{e^{j\omega_0 t}f(t)} = F(\omega - \omega_0)$
Time Differentiation
- Converts time differentiation to frequency multiplication.
- $F{\frac{df(t)}{dt}} = j\omega F(\omega)$
Time Integration
- Frequency division with term for DC component.
- $F{\int_{-\infty}^{t} f(\tau) d\tau} = \frac{1}{j\omega}F(\omega) + \pi F(0)\delta(\omega)$
Convolution
- Convolution in time corresponds to frequency multiplication.
- $F{f(t) * g(t)} = F(\omega)G(\omega)$
Multiplication
- Transforms time multiplication to frequency convolution.
- $F{f(t)g(t)} = \frac{1}{2\pi}[F(\omega) * G(\omega)]$
Duality
- Symmetry showing how time and frequency are interchange.
- If $f(t) \leftrightarrow F(\omega)$, then $F(t) \leftrightarrow 2\pi f(-\omega)$
Parseval's Theorem
- Signal's energy equivalence between time and frequency.
- $\int_{-\infty}^{\infty} |f(t)|^2 dt = \frac{1}{2\pi} \int_{-\infty}^{\infty} |F(\omega)|^2 d\omega$
