Term 2 Week 2 2019

Homework:

  • Ex 4J, p. 143-147 Energy, Work, Power
  • Ex 4I, p.137-141, Springs
  • Ex 4G, p.125-130, Torque - Static Moments
Torque
𝝉 = F L⦜
𝝉: Torque (Nm)
F: applied Force (N)
L⦜: Length of lever at right angles to the applied force (m)

  • Torque (Moments) in Level 2 Physics will involve Static Systems
  • Therefore the Torques are balanced and the Forces are balanced - Newton's Laws of Motion apply to turning forces as well as linear forces
  • PhET - Torque Balancing Act simulation

Bridge support forces moments


Torque (Moments anout a point)
Static (unmoving) systems will be used for this section. Therefore all forces, linear and turning, are balanced

  • Ex 4J, p. 143-147 Energy, Work, Power


Energy
Energy can never be created
Energy can never be destroyed
Energy can only change its form (Work is done)
Energy has the ability to make something happen, i.e. to do Work
The unit for energy is the Joule (J)
J = Kgm2s-2  in fundamental units

Work
Work is a transformation (change) of energy from one form to another form. Work only occurs when something is done.

  • Power is the rate at which energy is transformed
  • Power is the rate at which work is done
  • Unit of power Watt (W = J/s)

  • Ex 4C, p.105-107, Impulse ΔP = FΔt

Momentum

Conservation of Momentum
In the absence of external forces the total momentum of a system is always conserved

Impulse
The change in Momentum for a single object
ΔP = Pf - Pi
&
ΔP = FΔt
&
ΔP = mΔv
  • The unis are eithor Ns or kgms-1 , this is the same unit and the one that is used depends on the context
  • Impulse on one object is always equal and opposite to the impulse on the other onject - Newton's Third Law

Term 1 Week 4 2019

Homework:
  • Ex 4E, p.115-117 Kinematics (from last week)
  • Ex 4F, p.119-124 Projectile Motion (from last week)
  • Ex 4A, p.90-94 Vectors (from last week)
  • Ex 4B, p.97-104 Forces (from last week)
  • Ex 4H, p.132-134, Circular Motion

Circular Motion
  • Velocity is always at a tangent to the circle. Even if the speed remains constant, the velocity is changing because it is accelerating.

vc = 2𝝿r/T

  • Centrapetal Acceleration is always toward the centre of the circle.
  • ac = mv2/r
  • Centapetal Force is the Net Force, and is also always towards the centre of the circle.

Fc = mv2/r
