Laws of Motion

Key Points

1. Force (F): Push or Pull causing a change in motion or state.

   • Formula: F = m * a (from Newton’s Second Law)
   • Direction of force changes motion’s direction.

2. Inertia (Inertial Frames): The tendency of a body to remain in its state of motion or rest.

   • Inertia of Rest: Body at rest remains at rest.
   • Inertia of Motion: Body in motion remains in motion unless acted upon by an external force.

3. Momentum (p): Product of mass and velocity of a body.

   • Formula: p = m * v
   • Vector quantity (direction matters)

4. Newton’s Laws of Motion:

   • First Law (Inertia): A body remains at rest/motion unless acted upon by an external force.
   • Second Law (Force): F = dp/dt; If mass is constant, F = m * a.
   • Third Law (Action-Reaction): For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction; act on different bodies.

Friction

Concepts

1. Static Friction: Force that resists the relative motion of surfaces in contact.

   • Self-adjusting force.
   • Maximum value before motion occurs.
   • Formula: f_s <= µ_s * N (N = normal reaction)

2. Kinetic Friction: Force opposing the motion of moving surfaces.

   • Constant value.
   • Formula: f_k = µ_k * N

3. Angle of Repose: The steepest angle of a surface at which an object remains stationary.

   • Formula: µ_s = tan(θ_r)

Important Graphs

1. Friction vs. Applied Force: Static friction increases linearly until maximum limit, then kinetic friction remains constant.

Circular Motion

Key Concepts

1. Displacement and Velocity:

   • Angular displacement (θ): The angle through which an object moves in a circle.
   • Angular velocity (ω): Rate of change of angular displacement. ω = dθ/dt.
   • Formula: ω_avg = θ_f - θ_i / t_f - t_i.

2. Centripetal Acceleration (a_c): Acceleration towards the center of a circular path.

   • Formula: a_c = v^2 / r.
   • Uniform Circular Motion: ω and v are constant, centripetal acceleration only.

3. Non-uniform Circular Motion: Angular acceleration (α) is present.

   • Formula: α = dω/dt.
   • Total acceleration: Combination of tangential and centripetal components.

Applications

1. Bending of Cyclist

   • For a cyclist to make a turn, necessary centripetal force is provided by leaning the cycle.
   • Formula: tan(θ) = v^2 / rg.

2. Banking of Roads

   • Roads are banked at curves to provide centripetal force through normal force and friction.
   • Formula: tan(θ) = v^2 / rg.

Important Formula Summary:

• Circular motion velocity: v = r * ω.
• Centripetal force: F_c = m * ω^2 * r and F_c = m * v^2 / r.
• Angular acceleration (α): α = dω/dt.
