Relative Motion
|
vobj,a = vobj,b + vb,a
Velocity of obj in frame A = velocity in frame B + relative velocity of 2 frames
|
Direction of centripetal force
|
Towards center
|
In UCM, speed is _____, but velocity ______
|
Speed is constant
Velocity changes with direction
|
Newton's First Law
|
Object moving at constant velocity will travel in a straight line w/ constant velocity unless acted upon by a force
|
Newton's Second Law
|
Force = ma
|
Newton's Third Law
|
For every force, there is an equal but oppositely directioned force
FAB = -FBA
|
True or False: Newton's 3rd Law implies that opposite forces act on different objects and therefore cannot cancel.
|
True
|
Barrel of fun problem: where do the 3 forces point
|
Fn points inward
Gravity points down
Friction points upward
|
The frictional force is always ______ to motion and ______ to the normal force
|
opposite to motion
perpendicular to normal force
|
Forces perpendicular to motion ______ do work
|
will not
|
2 Conservative Forces
|
Gravity and spring force
|
True or False: Work by conservative forces depends only on starting and ending points, not on path taken between the points.
|
True
|
Where are equilibrium positions for conservative forces?
|
where slope of potential energy fxn is zero
|
Work of a frictional force will always be positive or negative?
|
Negative
|
Average Velocity
|
change in position over change in time
|
What makes up mechanical energy
|
Ek and Ep
|
Change in Ep is equivalent to what in terms of work?
|
-WA->B
|
Angular velocity denoted with what symbol?
|
omega (ω)
|
