Study Notes

  • A 500 N object is lifted 2.2 m in 2 s.

Work Calculation

  • Work is force times distance.
  • The work done in lifting the object is 1100 Joules (500 N * 2.2 m).

Potential Energy

  • Potential Energy (PE) is force times height.
  • The potential energy of the barbell when lifted is 1100 Joules (500 N * 2.2 m).

Power Calculation

  • Power is work divided by time.
  • The power expended is 550 Watts (1100 J / 2 s).

Specific Heat

  • Specific heat is the energy needed to raise the temperature of 1 g of a substance by 1 °C.

Power Defined

  • Power is defined as the rate at which energy is transferred.

Elastic Collision Examples

  • Billiard balls bouncing off each other exemplify elastic collision.
  • Air molecules colliding in a balloon represent an elastic collision.
  • A superball hitting the ground and rebounding demonstrates elastic collision.

Inelastic Collision Examples

  • A car crash where vehicles stick together is an example of an inelastic collision.
  • A lump of clay hitting the floor and flattening demonstrates inelastic collision.
  • Two football players colliding and falling to the ground represent an inelastic collision.

Law of Conservation of Energy

  • Energy keeps changing in an isolated system.

Pendulum Kinetic Energy

  • Position C has the highest kinetic energy as it's the lowest point with maximum speed.

Pendulum Potential Energy

  • Position C has the lowest potential energy because it is closest to the ground.
  • Positions A and E have the highest potential energy; they are the pendulum's highest points where it momentarily rests.

Object Falling

  • When an object falls, its kinetic energy increases, and potential energy decreases.

Object Thrown Upward

  • When an object is thrown upward, its kinetic energy decreases.

Matching Units with Physical Quantities

  • kgâ‹…m/s corresponds to Momentum.
  • J/kg⋅°C corresponds to Specific heat.
  • Nâ‹…m corresponds to Work, also known as torque.
  • W (Watt) corresponds to Power.
  • Joule corresponds to Heat energy, Kinetic energy, or Potential energy.
  • kWh (kilowatt-hour) corresponds to Heat energy or any form of energy.
  • kgâ‹…m²/s² corresponds to Kinetic energy or Potential energy.
  • Pascal corresponds to Pressure.

Work Calculation for a Man Climbing Stairs

  • A 70 kg man climbs to a height of 16 m.
  • Gravitational acceleration (g) is 9.8 m/s².
  • Work done is 10,976 Joules (70 kg * 9.8 m/s² * 16 m).

Power Calculation for a Man Climbing Stairs

  • The man climbs the stairs in 25 s.
  • Power is 439.04 Watts (10,976 Joules / 25 s).

Increasing Power

  • Power can be increased by decreasing weight.

Density and Buoyancy: Cubic Object

  • A 10-g cubic object has a side of 3 cm.
  • The volume of the object is 27 mL (3^3 cm³).
  • The density is approximately 0.37 g/mL (10 g / 27 mL).
  • The object will float because its density is less than water's density (1 g/mL).

Density and Buoyancy: Displaced Volume

  • A 10-g object displaces 5 mL of water.
  • The object's volume is 5 mL.
  • The density is 2 g/mL (10 g / 5 mL).
  • The object will sink because its density is greater than water's density.

Buoyant Force

  • The buoyant force of a liquid equals the weight of the displaced liquid.

Work-Energy Theorem

  • The Work-Energy Theorem states that total work done equals change in kinetic energy.

Momentum Change

  • The change in momentum is equal to Impulse.

Total Work Calculation from a Graph

  • Three sections make up graph:
  • From 0 to 5 m: triangle; base = 5 m, height = 3 N, area = 7.5 J.
  • From 5 to 10 m: rectangle; width = 5 m, height = 3 N, area = 15 J.
  • From 10 to 15 m: triangle; base = 5 m, height = 3 N, area = 7.5 J.
  • Total work done: 30 J (7.5 J + 15 J + 7.5 J).
