... The water stored behind a dam has energy due to it’s height above the base of the dam. We can use this to run a hydroelectric station. The energy in food is due to the molecular binding of the atoms in the food. The same is true for coal, oil and gas. There is also energy stored in the nucleus of at ...

Relative Motion
... Newton’s first law of dynamics states that “If no net force acts on a body it will move in a straight line in constant velocity, or will stay at rest if initially at rest”. This law can be viewed as a specific example of Newton’s second law, F~ = m~a, where F~ = 0. Does this law always holds ? Consi ...

Free Fall and Apparent Weight

Nonuniform Circular Motion
... A comet not bound to the Sun will only pass by the Sun once. It will trace a hyperbolic trajectory through the Solar system. Compute the minimum velocity of a hyperbolic comet when it is roughly 1 A.U. away from the Sun. The mass of the Sun is MS = 2%1030 kg. 1 Astronomical Unit is the distance from ...

Gravity
... acted upon by gravity. In fact, every atom within the rock is attracted to the earth. The sum of all these forces is the thing that we call weight. Wouldn’t it be a real pain to have to add up every single vector for every single atom in an object in order to find out what it weighed? Well fortunate ...
