Question Answer
conservation of momentum m1u1 +m2u2 = m1v1 + m2v2
Newtons first law Object at rest or moving in a straight line with constant velocity will continue that way unless acted upon by a force
Newtons second law If force of F newtons is acting on object of mass mkg, and this causes acceleration of ams-2, then: F = MA
Acceleration and resultant on object moving with constant velocity? No acceleration Resultant is zero
object of mass m has what weight? weight = mg (g=9.8)
Newtons third law If object A exerts a force on object B, then B exerts an equal and opposite force on A
Tension in string of two objects connected by light string over frictionless peg/pulley? Same throughout!
Acceleration of object freefalling -9.8ms-2
Only force acting on particle weight
Plane of projectile motion? Vertical plane in shape of parabola
At time t, horizontal and vertical components of position of a particle projected at an inital velocity Ums-1 at angle * to horizontal (PROJECTILES) x=Utcos* Y=Utsin* - 1/2gt(2)
At time t, the horizontal and vertical compnents of velocity of particle projected at inital velocity Ums-1 at angle of * to horizontal is given by: Vx=Ucos* Vy=Usin*+gt
Maximum height of projectile? Occurs at mid-point of path of projectile when vertical component of velocity is zero
At time t, a projectile released from heigh h above the ground is at the point where: x=Utcos* y=Utsin* - 1/2gt(2) + h
SUVAT equations v=u+at s=ut+1/2at(2) v=vt-1/2vt(2) s=1/2(u+v)t v(2)=u(2)=2as
Average speed Total distance travelled/time taken
Avg velocity Displacment from starting point/time taken
Gradient of displacement-time graph=? VELOCITY
Gradient of velocity-time graph=? ACCELERATION
Area under velocity-time graph DISPLACMENT
Vector? How resolved? Quantity that has both magnitude and direction. Into two components at right angles from each other, shown as column vector or in terms of unit vectors i and j.
Vector quantities? Velocity, acceleration and displacement
Scalar quantities? Speed and distance
Magnitude of displacment? Magnitude of velocity? Distance Speed
Position vector, r Starting vector + displacment
Avg velocity (vectors) Change in position vector/time taken
How to find resultant velocity Add seperate velocities or make velocity triangle
For constant acceleration, how to find? change in velocity/time taken
Fcoc(Theta) Beside angle
Fsin(theta) Force opposite angle
Forces in equilibrium? resultant is zero total component in any direction is zero
Assumptions of particle No air resistance All forces act on same point Neligble mass
Friction equation Fr=muR
Limiting equilibrium Fr at maximum, object about to move
Fr equation when object in equilibrium but not limiting equilibrium F < muR
Momentum type of quantity units mass x velocity VECTOR kgms-1
