1Phy 2053 Announcements1. Reitze replaces Chan as lecturer for the next 7 lectures.2. You can attend any of the lecturers’ or TAs’ office hours. You are not restricted to the current lecturer or your TA. 3. Clicker quizzes will start counting for your course grade next Tuesday (Jan 27) You should have gotten an email with your clicker scores—if not, your clicker is not properly registered.4. Yellow Book (copies of old exams and solutions) on sale at Target Copy for $165. Student Solution Manual – more copies will be available at the Reitz Union Book store (30 on Friday, 30 on Monday)6. Exam 1 Feb 18, 8:20 – 10:10 pm Room assignments will be posted You be allowed one handwritten formula sheet (both sides)Relative Position Vector Position of car A relative to car B is given by the vector subtraction equation• is the position of car A as measured by E • is the position of car B as measured by E • is the position of car A as measured by car BAErrBErrABrrAB AE EB=−rrrrrrRelative Velocity Notation The pattern of subscripts can be useful in solving relative velocity problems Assume the following notation: E is an observer, stationary with respect to the earth A and B are two moving cars The rate of change of the displacements gives the relationship for the velocitiesAB AE EB=−vvvrrrRelative VelocityTake rate of change with timeΔr/ΔtExample #3.12A boat moves across a river with a speed of 10 km/hr relative to the water. The river has a velocity of 5 km/hr due east. If the skipper of the boat wants to travel due north across the river, what direction should she head? What is the speed of the boat relative to the shore? Chapter 4The Laws of Motion2Classical Mechanics Describes the relationship between the motion of objects in our everyday world and the forces acting on them Conditions when Classical Mechanics does not apply very tiny objects (< atomic sizes) ‘Quantum Mechanics’ objects moving near the speed of light ‘Relativistic Mechanics’ (special relativity) Sir Isaac Newton 1642 – 1727 Formulated basic concepts and laws of mechanics Universal Gravitation Calculus Light and opticsNewton’s First Law An object moves with a velocity that is constant in magnitude and direction, unless acted on by a nonzero net force The net force is defined as the vector sum of all the external forces exerted on the objectInertia Is the tendency of an object to continue in its original motionMass A measure of the resistance of an object to changes in its motion due to a force Scalar quantity SI units are kgNewton’s Second Law The acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass. F and a are both vectorsor mmα=∑∑FaFarrrrContact and Field Forces3Units of Force SI unit of force is a Newton (N) US Customary unit of force is a pound (lb) 1 N = 0.225 lb2smkg1N1 ≡Gravitational Force Mutual force of attraction between any two objects Expressed by Newton’s Law of Universal Gravitation:221grmmGF =Weight The magnitude of the gravitational force acting on an object of mass m near the Earth’s surface is called the weight w of the object w = m g is a special case of Newton’s Second Law g is the acceleration due to gravity g can also be found from the Law of Universal GravitationExampleA train has a mass of 5.22 × 106kg and is moving at 90.0 km/h. The engineer applies the brakes, resulting in a net backward force of 1.87 × 106N on the train. The brakes are held on for 30.0 s. (a) What is the final speed of the train? (b) How far does the train travel during this
