Physics 231 Final Review Alex Brown PHY 231 Spring 2015 Nov 17MSU 2014 1 Review for Final Final Exam is on Wednesday May 6 8 10 pm Room 1410 BPS It covers chapters 1 14 It s a 2 hours long closed exam with 35 bubbles Chapters 13 and 14 occupy 7 bubbles with 22 of the total points You can should bring written equation sheets four sides total on a 8 5x11 sheet of paper MSU PHY 231 Spring 2015 2 How

at rest If it was moving with a certain velocity it will keep on moving with the same velocity Second Law The acceleration of an object is proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass a F m or F ma Third Law If two objects interact the force exerted by the first object on the second is equal but opposite in direction to the force exerted by the second object on the first F12 F21 8 MSU PHY 231 Spring 2015 8 PHY 231 Identifying the forces in a system MSU PHY 231 Spring 2015 PHY 231 9 9 Force Mass and Weight Forces are quantified in units of Newton N 1 N 1 kg m s2 Fnet m a A force is a vector it has direction The net force causes acceleration in the same direction as the net force MSU PHY 231 Spring 2015 PHY 231 10 Two forces that act upon us

an object to start moving the other axis perpendicular to it these are not necessarily the horizontal and vertical direction MSU PHY 231 Spring 2015 12 A first example n Fgy mg cos 1 Draw all Forces
