Physics 115 2014

Final Review

Calculus is about “rates of change”.

A TIME RATE is anything divided by time.

CHANGE is expressed by using the Greek letter, Delta, D.

For example: Average SPEED is simply the “RATE at which DISTANCE changes”.

The MEANING?

For example, if t = 2 seconds, using x(t) = kt3=(1)(2)3= 8 meters.

The derivative, however, tell us how our DISPLACEMENT (x) changes as a function of TIME (t). The rate at which Displacement changes is also called VELOCITY. Thus if we use our derivative we can find out how fast the object is traveling at t = 2 second. Since dx/dt = 3kt2=3(1)(2)2= 12 m/s

The proper terminology is to use the “hat” instead of the arrow. So we have i-hat, j-hat, and k-hat which are used to describe any type of motion in 3D space.

How would you write vectors J and K in unit vector notation?

Dot Products in PhysicsConsider this situation: A force F is applied to a moving object as it transverses over a frictionless surface for a displacement, d.

As F is applied to the object it will increase the object's speed!

But which part of F really causes the object to increase in speed?

It is |F|Cos θ ! Because it is parallel to the displacement d In fact if you apply the dot product, you get (|F|Cos θ)d, which happens to be defined as "WORK" (check your equation sheet!)

Work is a type of energy and energy DOES NOT have a direction, that is why WORK is a scalar or in this case a SCALAR PRODUCT (AKA DOT PRODUCT).

ExampleSuppose a person moves in a straight line from the lockers( at a position x = 1.0 m) toward

the physics lab(at a position x = 9.0 m). “To the right” is taken as positive, as shown below

The answer is positive so the person must have been traveling horizontally in the positive direction.

ExampleSuppose the person turns around!

The answer is negative so the person must have been traveling horizontally in the negative direction

What is the DISPLACEMENT for the entire trip?

Springs – Hooke’s Law

One of the simplest type of simple harmonic motion is called Hooke's Law. This is primarily in reference to SPRINGS.

The negative sign only tells us that “F” is what is called a RESTORING FORCE, in that it works in the OPPOSITE direction of the displacement.

There could be situations where you are given a displacement function or velocity function. The derivative will need to be taken once or twice in order to get the acceleration. Here is an example.

TWO types of Friction

• Static – Friction that keeps an object at rest and prevents it from moving (no sliding)

• Kinetic – Friction that acts during motion (two surfaces sliding)

Force of Friction

• The Force of Friction is directly related to the Normal Force.

The coefficient of friction is a unitless constant that is specific to the material type and usually less than one.

ExampleA 1500 N crate is being pushed

across a level floor at a constant speed by a force F of 600 N at an angle of 20° below the horizontal as shown in the figure.

Horizontally Launched ProjectilesTo analyze a projectile in 2 dimensions we need 2

equations. One for the “x” direction and one for the “y” direction. And for this we use kinematic #2.

212oxx v t at

oxx v t

Remember, the velocity is CONSTANT horizontally, so that means the acceleration is ZERO!

Remember that since the projectile is launched horizontally, the INITIAL VERTICAL VELOCITY is equal to ZERO.

Horizontally Launched ProjectilesExample: A plane traveling with a

horizontal velocity of 100 m/s is 500 m above the ground. At some point the pilot decides to drop some supplies to designated target below. (a) How long is the drop in the air? (b) How far away from point where it was launched will it land?

Kepler’s 3rd Law – The Law of Periods"The square of the period of any planet is proportional to

the cube of the semi major axis of its orbit."

Gravitational forces are centripetal, thus we can set them equal to each other!

Since we are moving in a circle we can substitute the appropriate velocity formula!

Using algebra, you can see that everything in the parenthesis is CONSTANT. Thus theproportionality holds true!

The expression in the RED circle derived by setting the centripetal force equal to the gravitational force is called ORBITAL SPEED.

ExampleA 2-kg sliding puck whose initial velocity magnitude is v1 = 10 m/s strikes a wall at a 30 degree angle and bounces off. If it leaves the wall with a velocity magnitude of v2 = 10 m/s, and if the collision takes a total of 0.02 seconds to complete, what was the average force applied to the puck by thewall?

There is something you need to consider:Momentum is a VECTOR!!!

Let’s look at this problem using a X-Y axis for reference

Example cont’

If we did the same thing for the Y direction we would discover that the Force Net is equal to ZERO!

The temptation is to treat momentum as a SCALAR...DO NOT DO THIS! SIGNS COUNT!

Momentum is conserved!The Law of Conservation of Momentum: “In the absence

of an unbalanced external force, the total momentum before the collision is equal to the total momentum after the collision.”

Elastic Collision = Kinetic Energy is ConservedInelastic Collision = Kinetic Energy is NOT Conserved

WorkThe VERTICAL component of the force DOES NOT cause the block to move the right. The energy imparted to the box is evident by its motion to the right. Therefore ONLY the HORIZONTAL COMPONENT of the force actually does WORK.

When the FORCE and DISPLACEMENT are in the SAME DIRECTION you get a POSITIVE WORK VALUE. The ANGLE between the force and displacement is ZERO degrees. What happens when you put this in for the COSINE?

When the FORCE and DISPLACEMENT are in the OPPOSITE direction, yet still on the same axis, you get a NEGATIVE WORK VALUE. This negative doesn't mean the direction!!!! IT simply means that the force and displacement oppose each other. The ANGLE between the force and displacement in this case is 180 degrees. What happens when you put this in for the COSINE?

When the FORCE and DISPLACEMENT are PERPENDICULAR, you get NO WORK!!! The ANGLE between the force and displacement in this case is 90 degrees. What happens when you put this in for the COSINE?

Ballistic Pendulum

• Event includes a collision during which momentum conservation is the best model and post-collision motion during which energy conservation is the best model.

• Examples: last three problems on HW, Workshop 14,
