Study Notes
Work-Energy Equation for Translation
- Work done on an object in translational motion is the product of the applied force and displacement in the direction of that force.
Dynamic Equilibrium of a Body
- A body is in dynamic equilibrium when both translational and rotational equilibria are maintained while experiencing forces and torques.
Translational Equilibrium
- The vector sum of all external forces on the body is zero, leading to no acceleration in any direction.
Rotational Equilibrium
-
The vector sum of all external torques acting on the body is zero, preventing angular acceleration and maintaining constant angular velocity.
-
Dynamic equilibrium indicates the body can be in motion with a constant velocity, not necessarily at rest.
Impact Types in Collisions
Direct Impact
- Involves two bodies colliding head-on, with initial velocities directed along the line of impact, resulting in a significant transfer of linear momentum.
Coefficient of Restitution
- Denoted as 'e', measures the elasticity of a collision.
- Expressed as the ratio of final relative velocity to initial relative velocity; ranges from 0 (perfectly inelastic) to 1 (perfectly elastic).
Line of Impact
- An imaginary line connecting the centers of colliding bodies, crucial for analyzing collision outcomes.
Oblique Impact
- Collision occurs at an angle, not directly along the line of impact; requires consideration of both linear and angular motion components.
Central Impact
- The line of impact passes through the center of mass of both bodies, conserving angular momentum and simplifying collision analysis.
Eccentric Impact
- The line of impact does not pass through the center of mass of at least one body, affecting both linear and angular momentum, necessitating analysis of mass distribution.
Impulse-Momentum Equation
- Derived from Newton's second law, relating net force to the change in momentum over time.
- Impulse (J) equals the change in momentum (Δp), providing a crucial link in analyzing collisions and interactions.
Work Done by a Spring
- Describes energy transfer during the compression or stretching of a spring, which stores potential energy.
Hooke's Law
- Relates the force exerted by a spring (F) to its displacement (x) from equilibrium: F = -kx.
Definition of Work
-
Work (W) done is calculated as the product of force and displacement: W = ∫Fd(x).
-
Substituting Hooke's Law into the work equation gives W = -(1/2)kx², indicating the work is proportional to the square of the displacement.
-
Work done on a spring is interpreted as energy stored as potential energy, later converted back to kinetic energy when the spring returns to equilibrium.
Varignon's Theorem
- A technique in structural analysis and engineering that simplifies calculations of moments, useful for scenarios where forces are misaligned with coordinate axes.
