A. Circular Motion

1. constant perimeter (tangential) speed: vt = 2πr/T

a. distance = circumference of the circle: 2πr

b. time = time for one revolution: T (period)

2. constant inward (centripetal) acceleration: ac = v2/r

3. centripetal force, Fc = mac = mv2/r

a. turning on a road problems

| v = 2πr/T |

| |

|ac |

| |

| |

| |

|when the road is horizontal: Fc = Ff = μsmg |

|roads are banked in order to reduce the amount of friction (component of|

|the Fg is || to Fc) |

b. horizontal loop problem (mass on a string)

| Ft-x = Fc = mv2/r |

| |

|θ |

|Ft Ft-y = Fg = mg |

| |

|v = 2πr/T |

|Ft = (Fc2 + Fg2)½ |

|tanθ = Fg/Fc (θ is measured from horizontal) |

c. vertical loop problem (mass on a string)

|top: Fnet = Fc = Ft + Fg ∴ Ft = Fc – Fg |

| |

| |

|Fg Ft |

| |

| |

| |

| |

| |

| |

|Fg Ft |

| |

| |

|bottom: Fnet = Fc = Ft – Fg ∴ Ft = Fc + Fg |

|if on a roller coaster: Fn = Ft |

4. Newton's law of universal gravity, Fg = GMm/r2

a. G = 6.67 x 10-11 N•m2/kg2

b. M = mplanet and m = msatellite

c. r is the distance, measured from center to center

d. g = GM/r2

e. Fg = Fc: GMm/r2 = mv2/r ∴ v = (GM/r)½

v = 2πr/T

m Fg = Fg M

B. Newton's Laws—Rotation

1. torque, τ = r⊥Fr (tau—Greek letter for t)

point

of

rotation r 90o Fr

a. r = perpendicular distance from axis of rotation to rotating force Fr

b. when r is not perpendicular to Fr, then τ = rFrsinθ

c. torque units are m•N (not N•m—work)

2. First Law: Object remains at rest or uniform rotation as long as no net torque (τnet) acts on it

a. measured as the moment of inertia, I = βmr2

b. β corrects for mass distribution (β = 1 for a hoop)

3. Second Law: Fr = βma (acceleration at the rim)

(Frolling = ma + βma = (1 + β)ma)

4. equilibrium (τnet = 0)

a. no acceleration (velocity can be non-zero)

b. center of mass: rcm = Σ(rimi)/Σmi

rcm Fcm = Fg1 + Fg2

m1 m2

r1 m1g r2 m2g

| τCM = τ1 + τ2 |

|rcm(m1 + m2)g = r1m1g + r2m2g |

|rcm = (r1m1 + r2m2)(m1 + m2) |

c. first condition: all forces act through the center

1. solving first condition problems (general)

|draw free body diagram |

|resolve non-||, non-⊥ forces into || and ⊥ components |

|v = 0: || and ⊥ to horizontal |

|v ≠ 0: || and ⊥ to velocity |

|||: F||A + F||B + F||C + . . . = 0 |

|⊥: F⊥A + F⊥B + F⊥C + . . . = 0 |

|solve for unknown |

2. solving first condition problems (special case)

|draw free body diagram |

|if there are only three forces and two of the forces are ⊥ to each |

|other, then proceed |

|rearrange forces into a tail to tip diagram (vector sum) |

|use trigonometry to solve for unknown sides φ |

|θ + φ = 90o |

|C |

|sinθ = cosφ = B/C B |

|cosθ = sinφ = A/C θ |

|tanθ = B/A, tanφ = A/B A |

d. second condition: forces act away from the center

1. solving center of mass problems

| |

| |

| |

| |

|Fg1 r1 cm r2 Fg2 |

|system is NOT rotating ∴ τ1 + τ2 = 0 |

|τ1 = τ2 → r1F1 = r2F2 → r1m1g = r2m2g ∴ r1m1 = r2m2 |

2. solving two supports problems

| |

|FL m2 FR |

| |

|rR m1 |

|r1 |

|r2 |

| |

|when support bar has mass: assume all of its mass is in its center of |

|gravity (geometric center) |

|assume point of rotation on left end ∴ rL = 0 and τL = 0 |

|τR – τ1 – τ2 = 0 ∴ τR = τ1 + τ2 → rRFR = r1m1g + r2m2g |

|solve for FL: FL + FR = m1g + m2g |

C. Conservation Laws—Rotation

1. rotational kinetic energy, Kr = ½βmv2 (J)

a. v is the velocity at the rim

b. rolling kinetic energy: Krolling = ½(1 + β)mv2

2. rotational momentum, L = rβmv (kg•m2/s)

a. when τnet = 0, then ΔL = 0

b. change r and/or β will change v

orbiting planet spinning diver

Kepler's Law

(A1 → 2 = A3 → 4)

r1v1 = r2v2 r1β1v1 = r2β2v2

3. mixed linear and rotation motion problems

|m3gx – μkm1gx = ½(m1 + βm2 + m3)v'2 |

|v' = [2(m3 – μkm1)gx/(m1 + βm2 + m3)]½ |

|(convert boy's linear motion to rotational motion, where r is the rM and|

|β = 1: L = rMβmvm) |

|Lm + LM = L' |

|rmβmmvm + rMβMMvM = (rmβmm + rMβMM)v' |

D. Simple Harmonic Motion (SHM)

1. oscillating mass on a spring

a. acceleration is NOT constant ∴ kinematic formulas are invalid

b. displacement, velocity and acceleration oscillate between +A and –A, where A = amplitude

1. x = +A, when t = 0 (pictured above)

|time |t = 0 |t = ¼T |t = ½T |t = ¾T |t = T |

|displacement |+A |0 |-A |0 |+A |

|velocity |0 |-vmax |0 |+vmax |0 |

|acceleration |-amax |0 |+amax |0 |-amax |

2. x = 0, when t = 0 (heading downward)

|time |t = 0 |t = ¼T |t = ½T |t = ¾T |t = T |

|displacement |0 |-A |0 |+A |0 |

|velocity |-vmax |0 |+vmax |0 |-vmax |

|acceleration |0 |+amax |0 |-amax |0 |

c. maximum acceleration, amax = A(k/m)

|Steps |Algebra |

|start with |Fs = ma |

|substitute kA for Fs |kA = ma |

|solve for a |amax = A(k/m) |

d. maximum velocity, vmax = A(k/m)½

|Steps |Algebra |

|start with |Us = K |

|substitute ½kA2 for Us and ½mv2 for K |½kA2 = ½mv2 |

|solve for v |vmax = A(k/m)½ |

e. velocity at x, in terms of vmax: vx = vmax[1 – (x2/A2)]½

|Steps |Algebra |

|start with |Kx + USx = Umax |

|substitute for Us and K |½mvx2 + ½kx2 = ½kA2 |

|solve for vx2 |vx2 = (k/m)(A2 – x2) |

|multiply-divide by A2 |vx2 = A2(k/m)[(A2/A2) – (x2/A2)] |

|square root both sides |vx = A(k/m)½[(1 – (x2/A2)]½ |

|substitute vmax for A(k/m)½ |vx = vmax[1 – (x2/A2)]½ |

f. time for one cycle, period, T = 2π(m/k)½

|Steps |Algebra |

|start with |vmax = A(k/m)½ |

|substitute 2πA/T for vmax |2πA/T = A(k/m)½ |

|simplify |2π/T = (k/m)½ |

|solve for T |T = 2π/(k/m)½ |

|substitute (m/k)½ for 1/(k/m)½ |T = 2π(m/k)½ |

g. formulas at midpoint, 0, and extremes, A

| |midpoint |extreme |

|x |0 |xmax = A |

|v |vmax = 2πA/T = -A(k/m)½ |0 |

|a |0 |amax = vmax2/A = -A(k/m) |

2. pendulum

[pic]

a. period of the simple pendulum, T = 2π(L/g)½

|Steps |Algebra |

|start with |F = kx |

|substitute mgsinθrad for F |mgsinθrad = kx |

|substitute Lθrad for x |mgsinθrad = kLθrad |

|for small angles sinθrad = θrad |mg = kL |

|solve for k |k = mg/L |

|start with |T = 2π(m/k)½ |

|substitute mg/L for k |T = 2π(m/mg/L)½ |

|simplify |T = 2π(L/g)½ |

b. notice that m cancels out of the equation, so the period only depends on the L and g

3. damped harmonic motion

[pic]

a. amplitude of oscillating spring or swinging pendulum will decrease until it stops—damping

b. damping is due to friction and air resistance

1. forces always oppose direction of velocity

2. damping is enhanced if oscillator is placed in viscous fluid (car shock absorbers)

c. forced damping is accomplished with motors that are programmed to oppose velocity (earthquake protected buildings)

4. resonance

a. object can be set to oscillate by an external force—forced vibration

b. when forced vibration matches natural vibration, then amplitude builds with each vibration—resonance

c. examples

1. child swinging

2. building during an earthquake

3. air inside a musical instrument
